The hostel is located in the perfect location. Extremely close to all attractions but not directly on the center so you can have night life and a great night of sleep. For a first time in the hostel this place exceeded my expectations. The staff is super friendly and speaks English. Would recommend.

Nice and clean beds, fun people around! breakfast was ok! the hostel is close to everything…it rained a lot when I stayed there and water would come in to the reception area, it was like a waterfall inside the place! but the whole city was totally flooded. very uncommon. Leandro was very nice and always helping us find something to do around! the staff is fun! stayed one night and will probably come back again! very fair price! bathrooms are clean and the only thing is that water is cold, if you like taking warm showers this is not the place for you LOL! I loved it all.

    This is probably one of the best hostels I've ever stayed at, and I've stayed at many. The location is amazing, the staff is lovely, the dorms are great and well equipped (curtains on beds, AC, own power plug and light by bed, locker), there are social areas to hang out, the breakfast is great and there is someone at reception 24/7, so it's very safe. There's even a Netflix room. And the cats are sweet. I was even able to use the pool and shower before check-in, as I arrived early.
