Hostal El Gallo

Excellent small hostel, very friendly staff.

I highly recommend Hostel El Gallo for anyone who is looking for a quiet stay in a clean room in the heart of Old Town without breaking the bank. The room is clearly has been recently renovated. The bathroom is all stone and the shower features both a falling water shower and a handheld shower hand. I would say the body wash was good but shampoo not so, and no hair conditioner. The room features a double size bad. It was comfortable to sleep. Usually comes with one long pillow but more regular size pillow were provided upon request. A very small fridge is provided as well as a tea kettle, tea, cup, wine glass, and a tea spoon. The A/C was present but wasn't working as desired. It was OK'ish for early June but not sure how cool the room is in August. I stayed for 12 nights and didn't regret a bit. The owner is very friendly and clearly was willing to help with any request and was very responsive through WhatsApp. The WiFi in the room was great. The downstairs restaurant owned by the same business is very good. Make sure to try very tender pork cheeks 😋

Owner was very helpful upon arrival and during our stay.

The hostel is in a great location in the city center. The staff is very nice and helpful. They went above and beyond expectations to make sure my stay was a great one. I highly recommend hostel El Gallo! Thank you!

Good location on a lovely street in the Old town. Good communication with host. Reasonably priced.
