Casa Jardin

Frommer's Review

Owner Nerina Sturgeon wanted to create an "artist hostel" in the heart of Palermo Viejo, and she has succeeded in doing so. Built into an old house, this intimate hostel boasts extremely high ceilings, all the better to have more wall space to show off her own and other people's paintings throughout the space. The artist atmosphere is further highlighted by gallery events held here periodically, complete with rooftop parties on the garden-wrapped terrace overlooking the street. The guest rooms are accessed by old French doors, and each has just a few beds. In total, there are 10 bed spaces, including one as a single. As a woman-owned and -run business, this is also an ideal location for young women to feel comfortable if traveling alone. The only complaint would be the bathroom ratio, which is not enough. There is also no breakfast, but a 24-hour cafe sits across the street. A shared kitchen completes the picture. An Internet station is also in the living room, and there is Wi-Fi capability.

Facilities:
Self-service drink station; concierge; free Internet station; TV room; shared kitchen
