Room Concept Hostel — Hotel in Santo Domingo de la Calzada

General impressive stuff:||This place is amazing, it offers coffee at all times of day, and you are not dependent on the presence of the staff to get it!

Then he lied and said he doesn't have it even though he hided it in the back room and made us wait for hours in the street outside the hostel, needless to say it was cold and raining and that we were after a 22 kilometres walk. We then confronted him and he still didn't give us back our things. He wanted us to give him money for no reason and kept the luggage hostage just to take money from us because we...
