ROOMS:
Clean rooms are centered around a sunny courtyard with a large eating area. The dorms feature single beds instead of bunks, but are a bit cramped. Private rooms are more spacious, and all have comfortable beds piled with plenty of blankets for chilly nights.
BATHROOMS:
There are only three shared bathrooms for the hostel, so we sometimes had to wait to use them. All were clean and had hot water.
AMENITIES:
Rates include breakfast and 30 minutes of Internet next door OR use of a small but well-equipped kitchen. You can use the washing machine for 10Q. Just talk to Olimpia. As well as keeping Hostel Don Diego clean and its travelers well-fed, Olimpia is becoming somewhat of a local hero in the indigenous civil rights movement for filing a complaint against a bar that refused her entry because of her indigenous dress.
SAFETY:
The outside door was only sometimes locked, but rooms lock and we felt safe coming and going. The walk from town is shorter and better-lit than that to Casa Argentina.
PRICES:
Private rooms cost 45Q per person per night, and a spot in a four-bed dorm is 35Q. Slightly reduced weekly and monthly rates, with or without kitchen use, are also available.
LOCATION:
Take 7a Calle west from the park. Don Diego is on the right, just past an arch over the street and across from Blue Angel Video Cafe.
