    No free coffee which I don’t understand since it’s a Selina coworking … The bathroom are old and not very clean. The pool is nice but also not very well maintained. The kitchen is nice, a bit rusty but nice.

    Staff was amazing. Victor helped me so much with everything, the position is good.

    For remote workers might be great. For backpackers and solo travelers, its okay for one or two days.

    This Selina has a lot of different guests, famillies with kids and doggos, group of young people, solo travellers, long term co-living people, short stay remote workers... While it sounds really cool, to have such a diversity of people coming together... unfortunately the result is more, that you barley get in touch with anyone. Maybe this is a Selina thing. Its my third time at a Selina, the first time at a Selina in Soutamerica and all the three times it was the same for me: I didn't get in touch or get to know anyone. But I am quite a social person and at other Hotels, I get in touch with other travelers, cooking together, making friendsship etc. But, on the other hand: For people who don't want to deal with other people, but rather stay on their own, this is a place for them. After three times Saline, I 'll really consider if I 'll ever do it again, unless it would only be for a day - or - in case I really need a place to work - for that, its very good. Last but not least: While this hostel offers a lot of different rooms and areas, and everything is clean, it is still... a lot of tiny things are broken or breaking. Its all very minor details, but it sums up. So eg the roller blind at my dorm bed crashed when I 've used it the first time. The doors in the public common areas oftetn lack toilet paper and the doors really slam/close badly. And if you are tall (more than 1,80) you most likely will "crash" into a lot of objects with your head. But maybe... thats a local thing.

    I like that you have several places to hang around in the hostel itself. At the pool in or outside, at the common shared rooms, there is small library room, a room to watch movies etc. Also, the location, at the peninsular, is nice and quite, when you walk the streets, you 'll always see the sea at some point and its interesting to look at the different architectural styles of the small houses there. Bonus: The harbour is in walking distance, with restaurants, fresh fish stores right in the harbor AND : Sea lions! There are always a bunch of sea lions hanging around in the harbour, waiting to get some fish from the fisherman and this is really fun to observe - those guys/girls rule, they are really cool (and those are soutamerican sea lions, so you won't see them everywhere). Btw. there is also an island, you can take short trips to it and watch even more sea lions (lobos) there and even swim with them.

    I think a lot of guests consider it a hotel rather than a hostel, so it’s very difficult to meet people who are actually travelling for a long period and want to talk to other guests. Maybe an event to bring people who want to socialise together would be good.

    Friendly & welcoming staff, comfortable room, good location. It was great to have a pool for a morning or evening swim. The kitchen seemed well stocked with equipment.

    Bathrooms could do with a bit of an update, compared to the rest of the property but they were fine. My USB plug didn’t seem to work but the other part for the actual plug did, so I was able to still charge my phone.

    Great location, lovely staff and spacious rooms. The property has a nicely designed interior and is very welcoming. The beds (in the shared rooms) have a light, small shelf, plug and a cupboard with a door which was a nice touch. The beds are comfortable and they have a pull down privacy screen too. Very happy with my stay here.

    The bathroom was a little too small and the shower did not have as much pressure, but nothing that would keep us from coming back.

    The location is excellent and the amenities are all great. The pool is fantastic, there's a cinema room with all the streaming services for you to watch movies and TV shows, and also a cute reading room. The kitchen is beautiful (even the microwaves were cute!) and always clean. The room, the bed and the sheets were great. The staff is very friendly and helpful.

    The bathroom was very small, and although breakfast was advertised at 7:00 AM on the app, they really only started at 8:00 AM, which resulted in us missing it the last day due to an early bus.

    The hostel is well run and the rooms quite spacious. The hostel organizes a number of activities, and although we had other plans, many of them look like they would have been great.

    Had some food stolen. Not their fault but a camera should be in every kitchen to deter and catch the people who these sort of things. Restaurant is only open until 3pm. May be due to the low season but it lacked social events to interact with others. Also comes with the bar/restaurant being closed before most people have checked in.

    Beautiful property. Indoor and outdoor pool, sauna, and hot tub. Big well stocked kitchen for use. Friendly staff. Always hot showers with good pressure.

    Bathroom was very small and could have been cleaner. Kitchen was also always dirty, although I imagine that's due to other guests rather than the hostel itself. The plug at my bed didn't work but I could charge my phone at reception.

    Very comfortable and clean beds. All the beds had blackout blinds and small cabinets to store some stuff - very useful. Pool, jacuzzi and sauna very nice and all the staff were helpful and friendly.
