Location is so convenient! Just 3 blocks from the Ferry so carrying a backpack and walk was easier. Also very close to the old town. very nice patio and living room. And people on the reception so nice!

Lizeth Peru

The hostel is very big, it has many seating areas and a shared kitchen to use. The price is legit and there are ACs in the rooms. The staff were friendly, helpful and funny. We enjoyed it much as it is located very close to the sea, and on the main street

Itamar Israel

Great location ( 5 minutes walking form the terminal). Big dorm rooms with lockers and personal plug🔌. Plenty of commun space.

Wolter89 Italy

Great location about 10 mins from the bus stop and 10 min walk from the old town.

I very much enjoyed this hostel. I only stayed one night here so have limited exposure to the facilities, but it was clean, the bed was comfortable, staff was lovely, and there are a bunch of nice outdoor places to sit since the building encloses around a couple of open are squares. The location is excellent, it's pretty much a 10-15 minute walk from anything you need, including the bus station, ferry terminal and old city.

Location was perfect for arriving from the ferry! We were able to walk easily (5-10 mins). It’s also on the main road and very easy and safe to walk to the historic city center. The hostel itself is very cute. There are two interior patios, and a “living room” and kitchen. There was asado and breakfast available (for a small price) and they lit a fire in the living room at night! Bathrooms and showers were pretty clean. The room was super cute though the walls are thin (you can hear your neighbors if they watch tv for example), and the beds are minimal/the pillow was super thin. We had a heater tho and I love the beautiful original doors and windows!

Staff was amazing! So friendly and accommodating. They gave me a wake up call at 5 am and were overall welcoming and made me feel at home. They accommodated my motorcycle, my oversized baggage and myself.
