Great location, great room for the price but the walls are so thin that if someone flushes the toilet anywhere else in the hotel you hear it. I was on the top floor and could still hear staff talking during the night on the bottom floor.

This is a great place to stay in the heart of Arroya within minutes of the train station. The room we had was absolutely spotless and looked like it had been recently updated. Towels were fluffy and white and changed every day. Sheets were changed every three days and were sparkling white. Wifi was good and no charge. The bathroom was lovely and clean with a good powerful shower and plenty of hot water. Toiletries were supplied every day. The staff were all very friendly and there was someone on reception 24 hours a day. Sattelite TV was provided in the room. You can have breakfast in the bar/cafe but you are very close to several excellent cafes if you prefer to eat out.

Well maintained and beautiful property. Staff is very nice and accommodating. Beds were comfortable and room was spotless. It is located in the heart of everything and walking distance to the beach and has easy access to trains and buses. The rooms are small and it can be a little noisy in the hallways when people are coming and going, but otherwise it is a great little place to stay and perfectly priced. Would happily stay in the future. Wished they had a communial microwave and coffee maker but not essential for short stays.

Best for short stays. Crappy furniture.
Its a pretty basic room, with thin walls. Which is to be expected from a hostel. Theres a really uncomfortable wooden chair. Garden chairs would have been an upgrade. I was working my day job from the room and its internet connection. My work was interrupted after the wifi password expired. And I had to go to the reception and get a new one (it automaticly expires after 1 week. Nobody told me about this). That system is inconvenient. Make it expire on check out date. The bed and pillow (yes 1 flat long pillow) gave me back pain if I slept for too long. I even slept on top of the duvet. It was still painful for my back. The cleaning crew are constantly knocking on the door. And sometimes they just walk straight in, no knocking or anything. As I was working from home during the afternoon, evening and nights, I constantly had to tell them "no thank you". Please get a "do not disturb sign" It would have saved me alot of interactions.
