Dominican RepublicGreat location, the staff was nice, cute dogs! Wonderful people overall, I would stay again. Breakfast was fine, nothing extraordinary but good enough. The rooms were comfortable bunks. Wish the bathrooms were cleaned better.
United States of AmericaGood staff, comfortable room, good breakfast, great social atmosphere most nights.
United KingdomBreakfast provided was very good and the hostel is very centrally-located. Great value for money! Staff was very nice and willing to help us with tips to visit the city!
PortugalThe location is great. The work the owners have done to restore the building in historical style is impressive. The bar and outdoor areas are chill and conducive to meeting fellow travelers. Bathrooms were clean, dorm bed was comfortable, nothing not to like. The guy tending bar, I forget his name, Ryan? created a welcoming vibe, and all the international staff seemed like they wanted to be there. Great hostel!
United States of AmericaIt’s a good hostel to meet other travelers. It’s in the old town and close to all the main attractions.

Bangladesh+ The owner, Chris, and the volunteers are all very friendly and helpful. + Breakfast is awesome! Large quantity and good variety. I look forward to it every day. Also serves dinner for 300 pesos, that comes very handy for me. + Nice vibe for travelers to meet each other and hangout, even has a pool. + Bathrooms are clean and well maintained. + Light, fan, power outlet and a small locker for each bed. + Good location, walking distance to any sightseeing attractions in zona colonial.
United States of AmericaReally great all around hostel, nice and helpful staff, comfortable chill out areas and a variety of these too. Always available to answer questions or provide handy pointers. The break fast was legit too
