breakfast was basic but nice, the communal showers were great and the overall atmosphere is great a very spacious and chic hostel.

Ariel Israel

Great breakfast. We asked if we could have some eggs and the ladies in the kitchen cooked them up for us.

Marta Canada

God matress, sympatic staff and good breakfast included.

Fred Brazil

Carlos who worked at the front desk was very friendly, helpful, informative and had a great sense of humour. The showers were hot and the bed comfortable.

Wanda Canada

Gustavo was great, thanks for the recommendations and the help, the staff in the common kitchens were super kind as well. The hostal has plenty of activities and tour choices to book (which was my 1st impression and the reason why i booked it) they vary from mega turistic ones to more private ones and if in their hands they will help you get some last minute bookings. Everyone working there provided with good advice when requested, so thank you very much for couple of good rest days.
