This place is very relaxing, super easy going vibe. Very friendly staff, delicious breakfast, decent communal kitchen, comfortable beds (no bunks!) in the dorms, big rooftop with a lovely view. I would've stayed longer if I'd been able to.

Mike is an amazing, friendly host. The property is perfect in all aspects. Single beds (no bunk beds). No need for AC. Outdoor kitchen. Beautiful landscaping. Great vibes. Not a big place, which is great, because its always quiet. Nice sitting area outdoors. In the heart of San Marcos, which has a beautiful nature reserve. I can't recommend Mike and his casa enough. So much that I am returning and staying again. Definitely stay here (if its available)! Well worth the price!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    It's probably one of the best hostels I have stayed in. Beds are comfy with full curtains and lockers to store your bags in before checkin or after checkout. And possibly the best staff that honestly make you feel welcome from the very moment you enter.

    Recommend this hostel without any hesitation. It's social, clean, owners are super friendly and helpful, the beds are confortable and have curtains. There are chillout areas on the balcony and a super nice rooftop terrace. The location is super central and you have plenty of shopping and eating facilities for any budget close.
