Some nice employees at the front desk but the breakfast staff was unfriendly and unhelpful. Good hot showers. Takes credit cards so you don’t have to pay the 21 % tax. Curtains on beds is a nice touch. Lots of cell chargers . Can leave your bag and stay after check out.

Thank you for an amazing stay! The rooms are big and comfortable, have big lockers, and great beds. The common area is big and has good WiFi. The breakfast is basic but worth the value of the money you pay. The most important and most amazing part was the stuff!! They were so helpful and so so nice to everyone.

The front desk staff were very welcoming and super helpful, answering our many questions (always with a smile), giving us lots of ideas of things to do, and helping resolve several unexpected changes to our travel plans. (Thank you so much Juan Pablo, and also Carlos!!!) The hostel was very quiet, and we enjoyed the breakfast . It was also convenient to have a restaurant on-site.

If you don’t like animals don’t stay here, they have very cute cats and a small dog.
We had an en-suite room, which was large, clean and very comfortable, so much so we stayed 3 extra nights. The kitchens were cleaned daily and there were plenty of pans, plate etc. The staff were great especially Marcos. We booked a tour at reception which was a good price and a great experience. The hostel is a 10 mins walk from the main Street but we always felt safe. We met some lovely travellers there and meet them again elsewhere.

Walls were extremely thin and wooden floors were loud—you could hear anyone doing anything, even walking outside your room. Toilet or bidet in bathroom leaked and bathroom floor was wet. Bed was cheap and thin, the blanket was the same material as the curtains. Shower was tiny so shower curtain stuck to you making it difficult to shower.
Kitchen facility was excellent—lots of pans and dishes to use, matches provided for the stove burners. Staff was great at explaining everything at check-in. Shower was hot and had great water pressure. Breakfast was pretty good—pancakes (crepes) were great.

The road outside was sometimes noisy but this wouldn’t apply to the dormitories which are at the back of the property.
The staff were amazing - really helpful and moved us to a room with better WiFi when we asked. Breakfast was good with scrambled eggs available. We had a private room which was comfortable and spacious.
