    The hostel is very good, with well-designed dorms that offer private spaces. The outdoor area is nice but feels a bit enclosed due to high walls. The main downside is the limited number of bathrooms. We often had to wait, especially in the evening.

    The agency they work with for the Rosario islands tour is the worst tour company I’ve ever known. I totally recommend not to get the tours with them (opi tours). It ruined our visit to the islands, that’s what I don’t give a 10 to the hostel, it’s a pitty

    The rooms are quite nice and the location is perfect.

    it was freezing inside, but they do provide a very nice warm blanket. Just weird to have to sleep with a blanket in the tropics, but thats my beef in general. Everything else was good, no complains.

    Location, location, location. In the middle of the city yet surprisingly quiet inside. No frills but well setup. I don't care much for hostels but it was fine for a couple nights. Place was clean and mostly well maintained. Security was on the ball everyday keeping people out, good job.

    Would be good to have more common space to hang out that's in air con. No ear plugs provided given the location and can hear partying until early hours of the morning (at least 3am both nights I stayed)

    Love the Japanese style pod bunks, so spacious! Great location, decent bathrooms and breakfast.

    We didn’t experience many problems with it but if the hostel is busy 3 bathrooms might not be enough for all guests

    It is located in the very center but super quiet at night and pretty clean. For a hostel it is a good value to price :)

    In the morning there was a queue for the toilets of which there are only three which doesn’t seem like a lot considering there are 30 maybe 40 beds. One of the toilets was absolutely violated by another guest and this wasn’t cleaned even when we were departing.

    We stayed here for one night and we found the pods to be surprisingly private considering the dorm nature of the room. The location is amazing you’re right in the centre of the old town. Everything was clean except the Jacuzzi water looked stale and murky

    It could be pretty loud at times due to the music and other guests not adhering to the quiet time policy. However earplugs helped with this. Internet was not so good, I could not access wifi when in my bedroom. My biggest complaint was the bathroom, although they were great and worked well, having only three to service about 40 people was just not enough. Also as the shower and toilet were in one space this meant you could be busting to go to the toilet and still need to wait for ages (I waited literally for 40 minutes, and this was a common story for other guests I talked to.)

    Amazing vibe here and very social. The breakfast was yummy and the bed was very comfortable. We liked the small hang out spaces and the staff were very friendly. The location was great for walking and exploring the city, with both expensive more touristy food places and cheaper (but still yummy) street food and local restaurants in walking distance.

    The solo pods are a bit too small for comfort. Otherwise the common space is good.

    There are only 3 toilettes including showers, so if 3 people are showering at the same time, there’s no toilette to use… :/ Sometimes you have to wait up to 30 Minutes, especially in the morning. The Wifi is not really working in your Dorm Room.

    it’s located in the middle of the old town. You get around so fast from this hostel and there’s a small Carulla in front of the Hostel. The Bed is comfortable and you get your own little space in there. The Kitchen is really nice and free to use.
