Guest reviews for Flying Donkey
"The place has lots of character, the staff are super friendly and very very helpful. The place is located near all kinds of places with good cheap food and charm."
"There is trade off between quiete and being. Centrally located. I’m picky though because I would prefer living in the woods if I had my way."
"My third visit there and never disappointed. Staff is very friendly and speaks enough English for me! Very helpful."
"Unfortunately, the hot water is an issue. I think they have a very old boiler and it takes some patience! Not a big deal, on vacation so I had all the time in the world. Just a little annoying when you’re in the middle of a shower And it turns cold. Lol."
"We loved our stay here. The room was comfortable, there’s a good kitchen and a nice roof. Juan, the manager, is very friendly"
"Aucun."
"Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Artistic and eclectic decorations. On the main drag for music and people watching. Generous hostess always offered coffee. She spoke English pretty well. Bell chimed to let her know when someone present. Nice kitchen with plenty of appliances and nice lighter for stove. Soft pillow. Convenient outlets. Clean Pleasant, upbeat atmosphere."
"Street noise but, of course, couldn't be helped. Bathroom light went out too frequently. Cold shower 🥶"
