    Only stayed here a night on our way to do a tour of the desert. They let me leave my big bag in their baggage storage room which was so helpful. The rooftop hangout area was really nice.

    The facilities were quite clean. The bathrooms remained clean every hour just like the whole hostel. The included breakfast was quite complete and the location is 2 blocks from the sea which is great.

    The staff is awesome. I'm terrible with names, but the evening bartender/manager is so welcoming, with her big smile and positive energy. (And also a great voice - wea!aaa had an impromptu sing along night with my nephew on guitar.) The property:...

    We stayed at the end of June 2025 in Bona Vida Hostel. The rooms are exactly as shown in the picture and the bed was comfy with sufficient plugs next to the bed. The location is great - close to the beach and most cafes and restaurants in town....
