Amazing staff and a very friendly environment for solo travellers. Free breakfast and group meals. This is one of the best hostels I have stayed at from a social and staff aspect.

Michael United States of America

I like how good was all the rooms in the hostel. Kitchen was great for anyone to enjoy and talk with other people if they want to. Rooms are really clean and the living room was nice. Love the recommendations from the staff members.

Luis United States of America

The staff were so incredibly friendly. This was the only hostel I stayed in where the staff sat down with you and walked you through some good trips to do in the area. The air conditioning was fantastic, and the people in my dorm were so quiet, lights were off before midnight every night.

Devin United States of America

The staff is super helpful, gives you a map and shows what to do. They have common dinners so it's easy to make friends! Ideal for solo travelers. The hostel is really clean and the rooms are big. Never had to queue for the toilets or shower. I felt really safe and everything looks cute. Also, they give you breakfast and some wine 🤩

Ana Argentina

Amazing hostel atmosphere, esp for a solo traveler who wants to meet people from all around the world and socialize. We played guitar, had wine, and chatted through the evening. It was lovely! Also, the hosts are very kind! helped me organize my 2-day stay in the best way, recommended a supermarket, a restaurant, and a nice beach. I highly recommend this place if you’re traveling alone!
