    Everyone was really kind. Everything was clean. A quiet place. The rooms were next to the dinning room so there was no too much privacy. Nice place to stay but it is about 6/7 blocks from downtown. Too many cats (I’m allergic to some of them)

    We had the dorm with private bathroom, one of the guys in the dorm had food poisoning - our bathroom wasn‘t cleaned once in 4 days. The rest of the hostel (kitchen, shared bathrooms) is very clean, so that‘s a bit disappointing.

    Very friendly staff and vibe in general, has everything a hostel needs including lockers, little shop around the corner, it‘s a 15min walk from the center but very manageable, nice rooftop terrace, there‘s neighbourhood cats entering through the terrace all the time - so not for people with cat hair allergy

    It’s a nice hostel, with comfy rooms, nice common kitchen and dining areas. It’s a bit uncomfortable further away from the main town centre, but you can get there within 10 minutes walk and there are also supermarkets/restaurants in the area. The staff does not speak English and one of the workers seemed to be doing the work of several men, and worked the entire day, no wonder she didn’t offer excellent service. Hire more people!

    We liked everything

    The staff were friendly and accommodating. Super clean, very chill vibe. The location was away from the center, so not as dusty and noisy. We absolutely loved it and hope to return in the future!

    A little bit of a trek from town.

    Rooftop provided great view of the stars and hammocks were a nice cherry on top. Kitchen provided all you’d need and staff was very kind.

    The room was too hot in the night. The badroom was ok, but the water turned from cold to birning hot and back.

    Nice rooftop, good kitchen, clean. Good beds.

    Nice rooms but not much space to move around. Clean bathroom with good shower. We asked to extend our stay but had to move rooms as it was booked. The staff were really friendly and transferred our bags for us while we were out on a day trip. About a twenty minute walk from the town but there’s a small shop close by. Good kitchen facilities and outdoor space

    Even with a fan the dorm room was very hot at night.

    Nice facility with hammocks on the roof for stargazing. Hostel very helping obtaining shuttle service to/from airport which is quite a distance. I didn't take their offered tours as they require cash only only payments. I enjoyed the quiet neighborhood but if you want to go to Centro area it is a 20 minute walk. Highly recommend San Antonio restaurant but get food to go as they give you enough for 2 meals.

    Every night a member of staff would be loudly banging around, cleaning and doing jobs, but at 9pm/10pm this was a real annoyance for us. Putting on the washing machine and playing music which we had to ask to be turned off twice. These jobs could be done during the day, not when guests are trying to sleep and rest.

    Very clean room, comfortable bed. We loved the rooftop for relaxing and sunbathing. Wifi was ok, one day it kept cutting but not to much of an issue. Bathrooms were clean at all times. Great kitchen to use and lots of seating area. 15 minute walk from the main town so was in a quiet area.

    It's a bit of a distance from the centre. A blessing and a curse.

    The rooftop is lovely for stargazing, the kitchen is well equipped and the toilet/showers are clean (although only two for several dorms). Checked in as soon as room was ready and I found the hostel comfortable.

    Walking distance to the main street, shops, restaurants, tour agencies. Love the hammocks on the roof terrace, starry night and moon gazing. Good equipped kitchen so one can prepare its own meals. Complementary tea and coffee. Laundry service, good working WiFi.
