Great hostel. Comfortable bed, air conditioning available 24/7. Markets are nearby. The bus station is less than a 5-minute walk away. Very well-equipped kitchen.

We liked everything

The hosts are very friendly, the room was clean and AC functioning perfectly. We were allowed to leave our bags after the check out time. The kitchen is well equipped for cooking whatever you like. Perfect location to be close to the town center and the beach.

The size of the bathroom. There was no social interaction with other guests, not as you would expect at a hostel.

The location is great, walking distance to most attractions in the city centre. The facilities themselves are very basic, one of the rooms has a very small bathroom, and another room has a bigger bathroom but a very small bedroom area. It’s advisable to check what room you are getting before you reserve.

Outlets only at lower bunks in my dorm. Need extra long cord to charge phone from top bunk or not have phone on your bunk.

Air conditioning! Clean and comfortable. Female-only dorm. Very small pool which I did not use. Clothesline outside to hang damp clothes. On street parking. Kitchen and microwave, refrigerator. Standard USA outlet. Nice breeze through common areas. Walking distance to downtown Oranjestad.

Water for taking a shower wasnt warm but it was fine as the weather is always hot and humid

So close to the Airport and Shoppings and restaurants Very nice host

The room I was in was the 4 bunk beds and it was full. Once everybody had their luggage out there was not much space, which was fine. What was less fine was I had the upper bunk which was very high, it was hard to go up and come down (with just the 3 steps vertical ladder) and the bed didn't have any guard rail (I was so stress to fall down). Also, no outlets or place to put your phone up there. If I go again I will be very careful to ask for the lower bad.

Location was great, very close to the city center, 12 minutes from the airport and 10 minutes from the closest beach. Lots of coffees and restaurant around. Perfect at the beginning or the end of your Aruba trip or like a base to move around the island. The pool and the garden were lovely, wifi worked great and the common spaces were nice, spacious (bathroom included, great shower) and comfortable.

I WAS ON THE UPPER BUNK, THE BUNKBEDS WERE WONKY.

STAFF WAS HELPFUL, LOCATION IS AT THE VERY END OF MAIN STREET, FACILITIES WERE OKAY. AIR CONDITIONING WAS GOOD, BATHROOM WAS CLEAN. ACCESS TO EVERYTHING WITHIN 15 MINUTES WALK.

Good comfy clean room. Convenient location: city and beach.

Frankly speaking, this is one of the best hostels in my life. There is air conditioning in the room, there is a fully equipped kitchen, and what is more amazing, there is a gorgeous swimming pool which is always empty of any people. I deffo recommend this hostel and I will be back. There are a lot of common spaces to relax or to work online. The swimming pool is surrounded by palms and the location is perfect - 10 minutes walking to the marina and 40 minutes walking to the delightful beaches :) One little minus is the a-bit-coldish water in the shower but this is so everywhere in the Caribbean :)

I ended up getting a top bunk and the ladder seemed more like it was made for child access so it was hard to get on and off. The other traveler also had trouble. The top bunks don't have dedicated power outlets either so you'd need to charge your devices at the main power outlet if you want to have a fully charged phone throughout the night. There also isn't a dedicated light for each bed which is a plus but not necessarily needed but a nice perk.

The place was very well kept, the owners were very attentive and friendly as well as the other travelers. I enjoyed my stay here. It was within walking distance to the Arubus Station and tourist area which was great. I enjoyed my stay and would recommend anyone traveling to stay in this area.

Overall, this was a very nice stay. The location is very walkable to the downtown tourist area. The Arubus also passes down this street on it's way to the Bus Terminal however; I'm not sure where the official bus stop is as I was on my way back and noticed we happened to be on this street and rang the buzzer to get off. I found no issues walking alone during the day or night and enjoyed the space alot. My initial booking was upgraded so I enjoyed an entire suite to myself which was nice since this was a solo bday trip. The owners were very hands on and addressed any of my concerns while there. I also found the other traverlers were very friendly and welcoming.

Good location.. friendly staff. Comfortable bed.

My room was right next to the kitchen/living room area. I could hear everything. Every conversation that people had in the common areas came right in. The tv was almost always on, which I could also hear. It felt like there was no door, every noise came in as if the conversations/tv was in my room. The kitchen was sparsely accessorized. The hostel is for sale, so who knows what that will mean.

Location was great- I walked to the beach down the street. It's a quiet, small beach, which I appreciate. Wifi worked well. My room was clean. The hammock by the pool was great.

Nothing to complain about the private room.

For 1 night I got the private room ( there was no availability in the shared dorm). The room is very nice, as shown in the photos, clean, good value for the money and for expensive Aruba. Again, senior Luis is an amazing person, very welcoming, caring, too bad I did not get the chance to meet his wife. I loved everything about this place: location, fully equipped kitchen, the pool and terrace and THE STAFF! PistaQ is close to the bus terminal and 15 minutes by walk to the Surfside beach or 25,30 minutes to the more famous and beautiful beaches as Divi beach. I highly recommend this place if you are on a budget and look for an affordable and clean place!

Some tourists have no respect for other guests in the room or the common spaces ( even if the bathroom was cleaned very well, some women just destroyed it, leaving a lot of sand, their clothes and soap, shampoo bottles and acting like it is a private space everywhere). It is not the house's fault, guests need to learn to respect others in a common dormitory or space. The ladies (in their '50, the snoring was terrible and loud) in my room were talking loudly at midnight or watching social media without headphones. Please if you travel by 2, a private room will be more economical than the shared dorm and there you can talk as much as you want, leave the dorms for young travelers or learn to respect everyone. Again, it is not the house s fault, the place is amazing with amazing hosts, for me it was the best decision staying here ( price, clean, a fully equipped kitchen and amazing staff), I even extended my stay there because I felt like home! Thank you!

As a budget traveler this place is soooo worth the money, I felt like home, and senior Luis is the best host ever!!!! I like the location, it is walking distance from the first beaches ( if you don't mind walking for 25 minutes) or you can just take the bus from the bus terminal, 10 minutes by walk from PistaQ ( buses go to any part of the island). The house is clean, every floor has its own kitchen fully equipped. I am very happy I chose this place and I can't recommend it enough! Thank you!

As other reviews have remarked, there was no hot water.

The staff was very friendly. The air conditioning was nice and worked well. The room was clean, and there was a towel and bar of soap available for me to use when I got there. From a value for money perspective, this was awesome. I would definitely stay there again.

Cute place, I had my own room, clean.

I stayed in a double room with en ensuite bathroom. The host is great helpful. The room is quiet and the bed is comfy. AC is very strong. Better than I thought.

The top bunks, without any kind of guardrail, are mildly terrifying - and there aren't privacy curtains or anything like that. There is one male and one female bathroom for the dorms - so sometimes you have to wait. It's a small hostel so how "social" it is varies wildly with the other guests at the time. If you want to spend a lot of time at the more famous beaches, you will end up taking a lot of buses (or hiring a car - but Aruba traffic can be crazy).

One of the few budget/hostel options on an expensive island. The managers were helpful and flexible (though you will need Spanish to get the best from Luis). The hostel is clean and well looked-after - and there is a small pool out the back. The air-con in the bedrooms is effective and not limited to only certain times. Located in the city itself, about 15 minutes walk from the bus station.
