I wanted a cheap dorm-style set-up and that's what I got! The price was right! I paid for an extra bed, which increased overall cost, but on the other hand that minimized the crowding, as I only had to deal with two, rather than three roommates. The two roommates I got did turn out to be nice people! Shower and bath facilities were clean. Sheets changed every day. No problems! If dorm-style living arrangements at a low cost meet your needs, then go for the Hotel Repúlica!
