Unbeatable cost-benefit ratio. It is very close to the subway and central park. I will return to that place without hesitation. There are areas for disinfection in many parts.

Felipe Colombia

The location is great, really close to the subway station. The overall space is really well structured, with great wifi and plenty of common space to use. They also have a cafe with good affordable food, the region doesn't lack options for eating, going out either. The staff is super helpful and patient, great professionalism. And it was really helpful that they kept my luggage while my room wasn't ready.

Pedro Brazil

Spacious, great common areas, impeccably clean. Really one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed at.

Maike Germany

is a great place, subway a block away with access to all the main attractions on the city, very safe area. The weather was extremely hot but it wasn't a problem at night cuz the air conditioning was great (I even needed a extra blanket) meet very cool people there too! definitely would stay there again.
