"The best thing about Hostel El Español is that it is easy to find. The worst thing is that it is very cold in the colder months and this certainly hinders most social activities that could possibly result. This means that the hostel is also quite quiet and a little boring. The Location The hostel is easy to find -- it is a very short walk from the bus station and ferry ports.
