First, I was very embarrased of the appearence of the hostel, but a room was very good and clean. The staff were friendly, and while I waited to release the room, I was offered a hot cup of coffee. But for breakfast they served very stale bread and never cleared in my room.

There is ALWAYS someone in the front, or very closeby. Location was great- it's only a few blocks from the groceries and Plaza de Armas. The rooms were clean and fairly large. Ours had a tv. The common areas were clean and also pretty large for hostels.

I loved Sol De Oro. It´s a family run place, and it shows. The beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, and there are lockers. The place has a great DVD room, terrace, and even a soccer field. The breakfast (included) is excellent. I found the staff really helpful and welcoming as well. The location is great too. This hostel... More
