Stayed at the hostel for three nights, on a private double bed room. The first impression entrering the room was a mouldy smell, because the room had no window. Other than that, it was a nice stay. The beds are confrotable and the room is clean. The breakfast is fairly good, with fruits, cereals, bread and a special local touch,... More

Our first room smelled a bit funny, and when my husband sat on the bed, it broke! The staff were very helpful and helped us to change rooms - they were apologetic which made us wonder if they knew there was a problem with the bed. We were concerned there would be problems with noise as all the rooms open... More

Unfortunately, the room smelled like mildew, and we could hear the noise from the hall during all night... The staff was very cool, they helped us a lot!!!

The staff at the hostel are really friendly. Nevertheless, the hostel is located in a quite noisy street. If your room faces the street, be ready not to sleep after 7am. Further, the breakfast is poor and the rooms is quite humidy and mold. The smell is not really welcoming.

I booked this hostel because it was really well ranked on tripadvisor. But this was a big mistake. I've booked a twin room with private bathroom. I knew that it was suppose to be tiny and without any window. But, I didn't knew that it was smelling moisture and mold. And actually, it is really hard to ventilate the room.... More

great hostel, great folks! from check-in to check-out, everything worked neat which isn't always the case in South America. Decent breakfast, fall-in-love patio, great movie collection and the guitar is a big plus for the music-types. highly recommended!

A nice place in the center of town. Nice and knoledgable staff, clean dorms, good breakfast, friendly atmosphere Might be noisy if your room is on the patio and people are staying late and playing music. So ask for a quiet room if you're not going out or ask them to stop playing music if that bother you. Or go... More
