The soul of this Hostel is called Irma

10.0

I stayed in Hostal Zabala for a week while attending a studies program. I hope the hostel knows the true JEWEL of a hardworking and kind worker the manager, Irma, is. Thanks to Irma that hostel has soul, is a place you can rest, be well taken care of in an environment that feels so homey, comfortable and respectful. I had never stayed in a place where one person not only did an excellent job in having things done with excellency, but also made you feel at home. Thank you Irma for your professionalism and care.

Property is old but nice for the most part. I wish there was a hair dryer.

El personal es lo más destacado del alojamiento, tuvieron la diferencia de permitirme el checking cerca de la medianoche ya que mi vuelo llegaba tarde. Luego del checkout tuvieron la cortesía de dejarme en consigna el equipaje hasta irme al aeropuerto. El alojamiento se encuentra cercano a los puntos de atracción más relevantes. La habitación para 1 persona era correcta en sus dimensiones y el aseo era diario. La ducha algo incómoda para alguien corpulento. Vuelvo a destacar la atención del personal.
