About

Hostal Casa Astromelia

Hostal Casa Astromelia occupies a renovated historical house in the Candelaria – Centro Historico district, putting the old town's cobblestone streets and colonial architecture right outside. Lievano's Palace is a 14-minute stroll away, and the area is walkable to Journalists' Park, the bus station, and a range of tourist sights.

The guesthouse mixes period charm with practical comforts: a courtyard, terrace, sun terrace, and garden furniture invite lingering, while the in-house restaurant, bar, and coffee shop cover day-to-day needs. A 24-hour reception, luggage storage, and paid airport shuttle simplify arrival and departure.

Rooms are kept neat with fresh towels, and several open onto the inner courtyard. Breakfast includes coffee, bread, butter, jam, and eggs, with in-room breakfast available for those who prefer a slower start.

Staff consistently earn praise for being friendly and helpful, and the communal areas—a lounge, TV room, and game room—create space to meet fellow travellers.
