    This place is creative, well designed, chill and interesting, and in the middle of everything that you want to visit in

    The plumbing is a bit noisy, the room cleaning could be a little more thorough, but this is honestly perhaps the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

    Eclectic, well designed facility, full of local touches and art, loads of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang and chill either alone or with friends. And the most relaxed, chill, helpful staff I’ve ever encountered in a hostel.

    Comfortable stay in Cochabamba

    - The private room we got was very cramped (but it was as advertised in the photos, so not a surprise).

    - Central location with a number of restaurants nearby. We got to the hostel from the bus terminal via a short InDrive ride (15 BOB). - Plenty of common areas on the first floor and third floor. The decor and ambience in the common areas were very nice too, one of the best we've seen in hostels in Latin America. - The lady at the reception was very friendly. While checking out, she shared many tips about other destinations that we were going to while in Bolivia.

    Highly recommended. The hostel has a humble appearance from the street, but opens up into a little oasis which is their backyard. Plenty of space, places to hang out, great atmosphere, sweet breakfast service (eggs made to order) and outstandingly nice and helpful staff!

    That night the music of the building in the front of the hostal was very loud and it was difficult to sleep. But I know it's not all the days.

    The staff is amazing. I really appreciate for their support. My room was very clean, the breakfast is very complete and overall I would comeback here.

    That they don't put more fruits at breakfast when it's running out of it even though there is still some time for breakfast left!

    The personal is very nice and helpful for things to do in and near Cochabamba

    Just seems excessively expensive for a hostel that offers a standard hostel experience/facilities.

    Nice central hostel, lots of common space, beds comfy and big lockers. Staff super friendly and gave lots of good advice.

    No fan or airconditioning in the room, this was okay as the nights were relatively cool but no air flow as mosquitos mean you can't really keep the windows open.

    I stayed in a private room and it was as nice as a hotel room. Bed was really comfortable and shower was hot. Staff were really friendly and very helpful and informative. Breakfast was basic but nice. Walking distance to most of the main things to do in Cochabamba.

    The dorm rooms were a little loud on Saturday night because of noise coming from bars on the street, but this can’t be avoided.

    Great location, lots of lovely sitting spaces inside and outside, and the front desk staff are amazingly helpful with providing information about things to do in Cochabamba and getting to Torotoro National Park etc. Nice little included breakfast.

    Not much choice of rooms for solo except for dorms! And pricey too. Although beds are comfy and rooms are spacious, I can't take the snoring.

    Plenty of outdoor and indoor common areas to sit and chill, loads of electrical outlets, very good not-too-sweet breakfast, artisanal beers to buy, perfect location- you can stroll around at night, friendly staff, funny pet cat, nice artwork, quiet street.

    One of our favourite hostels in South America! Very clean, super comfortable beds, huge patio area, well equipped kitchen, delicious breakfast, helpful and friendly staff. They also let us leave our bags in storage for free while we went to Toro Toro.

    Good location. Comfortable. Let me sleep on the couch at 4am when I had a night bus. Helped me talk to the bus company when there were blockades impacting travel. Very informative about visiting Torotoro. Special thanks to Miguel for his help with the bus

    All good!

    Just stayed one night before going to Toro Toro. This seemed to be the main place to stay in Cochabamba with the taxi drivers asking if that’s where you were headed. It’s clean, comfortable, had a great breakfast, and the staff was super helpful in providing information on Toro Toro and Cochabamba.
