Location is great, 2 blocks away from the main avenue where all the shopping, restaurants, bars and everything else. Really friendly and helpfull staff helped with current exchange, tour coordination and just overall. To all this add that price range and this place its just the best.

Ricardo United States of America

Fantastic value for this hostel. I booked a room with private shower and thought it matched the conditions of a hotel, but still had a nice social atmosphere of a hostel.

Adam Israel

Location was perfect. A block away from the main road of the town. Breakfast was a little let down and could have had more option. The room was amazing. It was large enough for 3 travellers. It was clean and had all the amenities inside to make one stay comfortable similar to the comfort of home.

Nathalie United Kingdom

Excellent location. The rooms were clean, very comfortable, and the staff was amazing. They went over and beyond to help make our stay enjoyable. I highly recommend this hotel. The restaurant's food was excellent and with a good price.

Eleonora Canada

Price and close to City Center. Hotel staff spoke some English which helped greatly. Helped getting a taxi to airport.

Robert United States of America

People on the reception were amazing and really caring. They got everything I needed in my stay that lasted one month. I'll never forget them as my family during the days I've lived there. Great structure. Comfortable rooms, nice shared kitchen and spaceful restrooms.

  • Hello; What is difference between all the different private rooms? Which ones are located in the more quieter location? Thank you
    Hello, the private rooms are all in the quieter sectors of the hostel, the difference is that the exclusive rooms are a bit more modern and are in the back of the hostel, it is the sector that has only private rooms and that makes it much more quiet. regards
