Great higher end hostel
This was my first time staying at a Socialtel since Selina folded. The experience was exactly like Selina - other than the branding it was exactly the same. Value for the price was good. Room and bedding was comfortable. Hygiene products were provided in the bathroom. The common spaces (lounges, coworking space, rooftop) were all really nice.

Selina was an excellent place to stay! I LOVED IT!
The location is great, just next to the main church and park. People in the front desk are all very kind. The room was also spacious and comfortable.
I also have to mention that I loved the breakfasts there and the people serving the breakfast were also very polite. Can't wait to be back!

The Selina was in a great location. Our stay came with a welcome drink & breakfast which were very good! We decided to have dinner there too with our complementary drink. The food was very good & even reasonably priced for the quality! The view from scenic roof top restaurant topped it all off for a great experience! It is perfect for backpackers & weekend trips. Once checked out they will store your luggage & you are still able to shower & nap in the lobby accommodations. The staff was bilingual, welcoming & helpful!

Well located, good price and quality service.
The only thing that I didn’t like was that the room was not as clean as it should. There was trash under the bed

Great location, limited amenities
The hotel is situated in an excellent location. The view from my bed faced the cathedral. Staff was limited in communication. No one shared with us the special activities or food options the hotel offered or what the local establishments offered. The hot water was a hit or miss. I was able to deal with the low pressure but not the cold shower. The bedroom was cold at times. Blankets and Towels were scarce. My friend slipped on the wet floor after a shower. No towel for the floor.

Hotel bastante descuidado, la ducha sucia con la cortina de baño con hongos y una de las camas de la litera sucia, los lockers oxidados.
Atencion en recepción básica, parece que no les gusta trabajar ahi.
Lo unico que destaco es el desayuno y la atencion de la chica que estuvo sabado y domingo en el rooftop
