Of all the hostels I have stayed at in 5 countries in South America, this one stands out in my memory as one of the best. Everyone has been saying it's a "party hostel", but I stayed for a relaxing trip with my fiance in a private room, and we were never bothered by the noise. There is a pub... More

This hostel is in a very good location about a 5 minute walk to the beach, restaurants, and supermarket. Rooms and bathrooms are very clean. Although a stronger fan in the room would be a huge improvement. Good hostel if your up for a party but don't expect to sleep much. The hostel advertises a laundry service that is ready... More

This is a great hostel if you want to meet people and have fun. The location is good and the staff is competent though not exactly friendly. They have a roof top terrace and a pool so lots of opportunity for shenanigans.

The hostel itself is quite nice, spacious and in a great location. Bathrooms/showers were clean and we were provided linen and towels on arrival. If you are a late night party goer who can tolerate loud, wall pumping music until 2am every night then this place is for you. (You can literally hear the music down the street) If you... More

This is an amazing hostel, friendly staff, clean rooms and linen, very clean bathrooms (although they have to be shared with the whole floor), a small but refreshing pool, an Incredible atmosphere, a good bar with great food, and an awesome terrace with hammocks to hang out till very late at night or early in the morning.

I would definitely rank La brisa loca in the top 3 hostels I've ever stayed at. I've been to 30 countries on 6 continents and stayed in hostels in every one of them & it's safe to say La Brisa exceeds them all. This place satisfies every need of a traveler and goes above and beyond in many areas. Amenities... More

The only drawback is being tempted to hang out at the hostel instead of exploring. Extremely helpful staff (helping to plan day trips and transportation etc...) good food, fun bar, roof deck, safe area. If you don't like this hostel...you don't like hostels.

La Brisa Loca is by far the most fun hostel I've ever stayed at, and I hope I'm able to visit them again. The staff was always friendly and helpful, and the building itself is gorgeous. They've filled the walls of the hostel and the bar with tons of hilarious paintings, pictures, signs etc... which gives the place a personality... More

a backpacker hostel that reeks of frat house. the result is some pretty cool amenities such as the awesomest bar i've ever had the pleasure of sitting at in Colombia, a really cool rooftop terrace, and scantily clad girls wandering about. that said, cleanliness is an issue. props to the cleaning staff who, like Sisyphus, work all day long to...
