Once you've battled your way through the market crowds of busy San Lorenzo, you'll need to gear up for a six-flight jaunt upstairs to this budget baby!
While not officially a hostel, the bus and train schedule in the lobby, the casual, slightly down-at-heel feel, and low rates make this place far more a backpacker's abode than a romantic pension.
Rooms are a silly hodge-podge of mismatched furniture and bedding, ranging from shabby antiques to less attractive, utilitarian pieces. We chuckled at the fluorescent tube lights above the beds and artificial marble linoleum floors, and were glad to see that rooms without an en suite bath were at least equipped with a sink.
Bathrooms are small and a bit run down, but once again, this is a budget operation. The staff is kind and keep the place as sparkling as possible. We appreciate both in a low-cost abode.
Note that Albergo Marcella operates a midnight curfew.
