    I had an amazing stay at this hotel in Getsemani. The location was perfect, right in the center of the action with plenty of street food options nearby. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel right at home. The room, though cozy, had everything I needed with a comfortable bed and effective air-conditioning. And let's not forget about breakfast - it was delicious and really set me up for the day. great value for money and attention to detail.

    All was great, no complaints at all.

    Conveniently located, close to restaurants and in a safe area. Breakfast offers a wide variety of options, including a make-your-own waffle station. Staff is friendly and helpful, even if they mainly speak Spanish. Ideal for exploring and reaching the historic center quickly.

    Breakfast included is great. The hostel is very nice and well located.

    The wifi is really bad, and no network either... the bed is not very comfortable. Not always someone at the front desk.

    My recent stay at Marlin Hostel was a pleasant experience. The breakfast area was nice, with a variety of fruits, cereals, and good coffee to start the day. I also enjoyed spending time on the rooftop terrace, which offered a nice view of the city. The staff was friendly and helpful during my stay, making my visit more enjoyable. I would recommend this hostel for those looking for a budget-friendly option to explore the city.

    I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in Getsemani! the location was spot on, right in the heart of the action. I loved being able to explore the vibrant neighborhood and easily walk to the old historic center. Secondly, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always ready to assist with any questions or needs. Lastly, the basic amenities provided, such as the air conditioning and breakfast, were a great addition to make my stay comfortable.

    Everything was perfect, no complaints at all!

    The location is perfect: just on the half way from the historical center to the famous fort San Felipe and very close to them.

    The room was not clean. We could get towels only after additional request. The bed-sheet was not washed well. There is no door in the bath room and the toilet: only the curtain. The conditioner in anchient. Although the breakfast was said to be served from 7-00, at this time it was only begun to cook, so we could have breakfast only 30 minutes later.

    The location of the hostel was great, being close to the port where you could catch a boat to the islands. It was also conveniently situated near many eateries and affordable local restaurants. it was just a short distance from the center of the city. the staff was friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast provided was delicious and satisfying. the rooftop terrace offered a nice view and was a pleasant spot to relax.

    There were some noise issues throughout the hostel, both from inside and the busy road outside.
