Great owners and staff, nice kitchen facilities. Learned a lot of Spanish from Carlito!
United States of AmericaIt is one of the best hostels I’ve been in terms of accomodations. The dorms are really good. Every bed has its own pod with plugs, bed light, small shelf and safe. The hostel is super clean as it is deeply cleaned every single day. Veracruz is very hot and at night, the AC in the dorms is perfect — not too cold, just enough to feel comfortable. The kitchen is well equiped. There’s free coffee in the morning. There is a water filter attached to the sink so we can drink and use the water to cook safely. A lot of place to just hang out, work, read, etc. Nice rooftop with a view on the ocean. Staff is super friendly and welcoming. I recommend 100% and will be back!
French PolynesiaYou meet a lot of travelers . Good vibe. Good atractions.
MexicoNice little place between center and beaches, so everything is walking distance. Filtered water directly from the tab. Room was cleaned daily. Lovely rooftop terrace to watch sunrise over sea and sunset over the city. Very helpful, friendly staff. Powerplug and reading light, curtains, so even the 10bed dorm felt fine.
GermanyClean and spacious rooms. Friendly staff. Free filtered water and good kitchen facilities.
IrelandGreat staff, The hostel is in a great location and the room has Aircon which is a luxury in a hostel. Also I really enjoyed not making my bed up it was already made for me at other hostels they make you make own bed up.
AustraliaGreat wifi, nice staff, excellent location right next to a beach, good kitchen, super comfy beds with privacy
FinlandThis is the place to stay in Chihuahua! Quiet, spacious with a lovely green patio shadowed by an orange tree, clean comfortable dorm beds with soft warm blankets , 3 bathroom-showers, plus welcoming hostess and staff (thanks Bianca and Julia) - all boxes ticked!
United States of AmericaPoints for friendly staff, great location, use of kitchen and free coffee in the morning. I appreciate that the dorm bathroom is cleaned several times a day. There are also bed curtains for privacy and small metal boxes for keeping valuables (bring your own lock).
