    some savoury things like cheese or fresh vegetables like tomatoes or cucumber for breakfast would have been nice. I don't eat eggs, so there were just sweet things for me in the breakfast arrangement.

    The garden and the hammocks. The music in the courtyard. The friendly staff. The location of the hostel.

    The wifi is AWFUL. If you work remotely, you'll get very little work done. The smoking areas are too close to the rooms and the kitchen, so if you're not a smoker, you still get to enjoy second-hand cancer (that was a bit passive aggressive, huh?).

    Breakfast was good each morning. There are lots of public spaces to socialize. The staff is super helpful.

    The bathroom floor was a bit dirty, but you really can't expect total cleanliness when staying in a hostel. This was still one of the cleanest in its category.

    Good location, great water pressure with hot water! Staff is very accommodating and speaks English. They carry themselves in a professional way. The included breakfast was the icing on top.

    Everything was perfect

    This has been one of my favorite hostels during my last 2 months of traveling. The staff is very friendly, helpful and speaks English well. Wifi was strong and the location of the hostel is very convenient. The hostel is very clean, the showers hot and breakfast plentiful and delicious. I absolutely loved the garden and hammocks. I ended up spending more nights here than anticipated, Cochabamba makes for a great city if you need a break or have a layover day.

    I didn't like people smoking in the public area The Terrace as there is non smokers too

    I immediately fell in love with the Running Chaski Hostel the friendly warm welcome I received from the family of staff made me feel at home. They gave great advice on Cochabamba where to eat, things to do and places to visit.The colourful Art work all over the Hostel was interesting and wonderful to look at. Breakfast in the morning was met by a lovely woman preparing and serving the food .Thanks for the great atmosphere in a lovely environment

    Everything was perfect.

    This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at during my 2 months traveling through Peru and Bolivia. Everything was perfect, the shower was hot, the bathrooms clean, the bed comfortable and the breakfast was one of the best, including fresh fruit, yogurt, cereal, egg and bread. The receptionists spoke English well and were very helpful with any questions I had. The court yard and garden are absolutely beautiful - a great place to relax away from the street noise. This is a great hostel if you're feeling a little travel tired and need a rest day. I didn't want to leave.

    The top bunk beds did not have a lot of surface to hold onto when going up and down, so they were a bit scary. Not a lot of space for luggage in the rooms.

    The staff was AMAZING. I have never been in a place where everybody was so helpful all the time. It was a pleasure talking to them and getting so much great info. Great atmosphere, a lot of common areas. Big lockers with sockets inside, nice showers, possibility of filling up water bottles at reception. Really nice fruit sallad at breakfast. I really loved this place and ended up staying much longer than planned.
