Casa Sol y Luna is a refreshing change from the usual motel humdrum. Decorated more like a bed-and-breakfast than a Spanish hostel, this pension and its affordable rates charmed the pants off us. Keep in mind, however, that your biggest challenge will be reserving one of the 10 rooms. They are generally booked solid weeks, even months, in advance.

The Spanish-English couple behind the hostal have a penchant for antiques. Some of the eclectic furniture—such as the antiquated wardrobes and Victorian-like dark-wood beds—looks as if it were bought at Christie's. Old clocks, collectables, bed netting, and artwork (read: you won't find fancy TVs or phones in these rooms) set rooms apart from run-of-the-mill hostels. The attic room is the starlet; make sure to request it first.

Downstairs, creaky French doors surround a bright, sunny common room. Note: There is no air conditioner—a fact that makes Casa Sol y Luna an ideal option for anytime but summer. Bathrooms are exterior in eight out of the 10 rooms, but they're big, bright, and beautiful.

The hostel looks a little sketchy from the outside, although it's centrally situated in a safe, quiet area near Iglesia del Salvador.
