Hostal Tukos La Casa Real

I always spend a long time researching a place to stay before booking and compared to the booking.com reviews, the TA ones come across really badly which I thought was unjust. I stayed for two nights for what I felt was a reasonable price for the offering compared to others available. Yes it’s not been updated for some years and yes the yellow walls are a bit garish but it was clean and warm. Pros: -good location, two blocks downhill to the main square, next to a pharmacy, no.1 restaurant on TA one block away, well lit and safe. 10b taxi to the Nuevo bus terminal -helpful staff, one lady spoke English and was a bit more stern but offered me breakfast after 11am when I didn’t bother to come down and try it and the Spanish speaker was always smiling and helpful via google translate! Always someone on reception when needed -hot water at all times, albeit with a wayward shower head, and a radiator in the bedroom -laundry available at 20b a kg, mine all came back present and correct -free water refills Cons: -dated rooms and low lighting with dark furniture makes the rooms gloomy -bad WiFi, sometimes showed a connection but wasn’t working -beds are varied, might be soft or hard depending on what room or one you try, not overly comfy but plenty of blankets -first room I was put in had a leaking radiator and the door wouldn’t lock. Was immediately swapped to a triple room with no extra charge and no fuss which was great
