Staff is super friendly and helpful! Basic breakfast, as in every hostel, includes coffee, tea, toast, jam and PB. Location is amazing, just a 10-15 min walk to the beach and theres a bus station just outside the hostel that takes you to the airport. In the property lives a really friendly dog and a cat! <3 Thanks Ania, Amorcito and Don Guapo!

It’s a relaxed environment and everyone is nice and considerate of each other. There’s hot water in the shower, a kitchen, jugs of water so that you never need to use the tap, make a coffee whenever you want and the internet has speeds over 100 megabytes per second. There’s 5 space to hangout, so you could hangout as a group or go to a different space if you need to take a call or time for yourself. The host is very nice and lets people do what they want so long as people are considerate of the other guests. The door is red and says hostel, with the number of the building clearly indicated beside the door.

Really friendly staff. Don Luis, Oscar and the girls ( whose names I could not remember ) where really friendly and helpful, I had faced some issues with my bank card and they immediately offer all the assistance to help me out. The ladies in the kitchen prepared me a delicious meal that really made my day. I highly recommend the place.

All hostels in Puerto Vallarta

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.

    -The breakfast was easy but ok. -Free coffee to refill during breakfast -A couple of sockets in the dorm -a lot of showers -there are two bus stops left and right in front of the hostel which will bring you super cheap to the airport, the city center and the beaches -there is a nice river close to the hostel -the locker in the room comes with a lock and key, so no need to bring one by yourself 👍🏻

    If you like a bohemian vibe and are traveling on a budget, then this is the perfect place. I stayed in a female dormitory with 4 bunk beds, but the room was very spacious and not stuffy at all - I liked it. The owner and his dog are very friendly, relaxed, and easygoing.
