While we liked the location of the Hostal Atenas (near the Casa de Pilatos) and the room was of ample size (as was the bath), noise can be a problem. Since folks are buzzed in from the main desk or nearby office, late night arrivals may interfere with getting a good night's rest. In addition, you can hear your neighbors.

Stayed in Hostal Atenas in March 2004. I would not recommend it. They were informed of my arrival time at 9pm, said it would be held, but still switched my room for one without a bathroom and refused to give me a discount. The bathroom was not even heated.
