Comfortable beds. You can lock the entire bed cubical which was great for storing all of my stuff there, and it gave a good privacy. The breakfast was good, the staff were all really nice. The area seemed nice and secured to walk around alone for dinner.

The attention (customer service) and kindness from the staff and owner was superb. The location is excellent. The check-in system is very good and user friendly. I loved that guests can have late check-in times, and I loved that check-out is at 1p.m. The bathroom was very clean and had very good water pressure and toiletries. The room was small but very comfortable. It did not have AC, but I was provided with a big fan. Loved it. Did not miss the AC at all. Very strong Wifi. Lots of space and drawers to put away things. Convenience store right across the street.

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.

    Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
