What guests think
Across the reviews, Hostal Forestal stands out for its central, walkable location near parks, metro and restaurants, friendly and helpful staff, clean rooms and bathrooms, and useful common spaces like a well‑equipped kitchen and lounges.
Breakfast is included and generally appreciated, with simple buffet options noted in several comments. Some guests report issues such as street or internal noise, occasional housekeeping lapses or bathroom odors, and a few complaints about the breakfast system and expectations to wash dishes. Wi‑Fi is usually fast, though coverage can drop on upper floors, and a couple of reviewers said the surrounding side street felt less safe late at night. Expect a sociable, budget‑friendly base with solid essentials and a few hostel‑style trade‑offs.
