Chambre vraiment sale, pleins d’araignées, le tapis de douche était degeulasse, le personnel faisait la fête jusqu’à très tard et réveillait notre dorm au complet, des cris, etc, assez désagréable

Translated to English

Room really sale, full of daylight, the shower carpet was a mess, the staff was partying until very late and woke up our dorm to full, screams, etc., pretty nasty

Leider geben die Rezensionen nicht mehr das aktuelle Bild wieder. Zur Information: Die Unterkunft bietet kein Frühstück an und es gibt auch kein selbst gebackenes Brot mehr! Die Gemeinschaftsbereiche (Terrasse, Küche, Kühlschrank) sind leider sehr ungepflegt und dreckig. Die Zimmer sind sehr hellhörig und am Wochenende finden Abends Partys statt, weshalb es in den Zimmern unglaublich laut ist. Die Zimmer selber sind sauber, die Dusche ist warm und das Hostel liegt sehr zentral.

Hacia mucho calor y no había ni aire ni ventilador y las sábanas estaban muy muy desgastadas. No hay presión de agua en la ducha por lo demás bien. Calidad-precio

Translated to English

It was too hot and there was no air or fan and the sheets were very, very worn.

Lugar que cumple su función pero si con algunos temitas, la presión de agua en la ducha es muy débil lo cual hizo muy difícil tomar una, el excusado estaba tapado y se sufre también por la poca presión de agua y la última mañana antes de partir se partió un madero de la cama, afortunadamente ya iba de salida. El bar en la terraza muy bueno, Ever el anfitrión muy atento en todo momento y la ubicación lo mejor, está a solo dos calles del centro

Translated to English

A place that fulfills its function but if with some temitas, the water pressure in the shower is very weak which made it very difficult to take one, the excuse was plugged and suffers also from low water pressure and the last morning before leaving a log broke off the bed, fortunately I was already leaving.

Sehr zentrales Hostel und gute Küche mit nicem Rooftop. Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig, vor allem in den Zimmern. Nach dem jemand aus dem 4-er Dorm ausgezogen ist, wurde die Bettwäsche zwei Tage lang nicht gewechslet. Ansonsten eher ruhiges Hostel :)

Translated to English

Very central hostel and good kitchen with nice rooftop. cleanliness leaves much to be desired, especially in the rooms. after somebody moved out of the 4 bedroom, the bed linen was not changed for two days. ansonsten rather ruhiges hostel :)

Overall I didn't enjoy my stay here. The rooms were so unbearably hot with no AC and no fan. The staff were nice, but overall it's just not worth it to stay somewhere you can't sleep.

Wir waren zu zweit für 4 Nächte im Doppelzimmer mit eigenem Bad im Yaqta Hostel. Das Zimmer war sehr schön, insgesamt sehr neu, gepflegt und sauber. Während des Tages kann es in diesem einen Zimmer warm werden, da es sich neben der Dachterrasse mit den Hängematten und damit direkt unter dem Dach befindet. Das hat uns aber nicht gestört, man konnte gut lüften. Die Gemeinschaftsküche ist gut ausgestattet, die Dachterrassen einfach sehr entspannend. Definitv eine Empfehlung.

Translated to English

We stayed for 4 nights in a double room with private bathroom in Yaqta Hostel. The room was very nice, overall very new, well maintained and clean. During the day it can get warm in this one room, as it is next to the roof terrace with the hanging mats and thus directly under the roof. This did not bother us, but you could ventilate well. The communal kitchen is well equipped, the roof terraces very simply relaxing. Definitv eine Empfehlung.

This is one of the best hostels I have been so far! The rooms are cozy, everything is clean. The roof is amazing - creates a lovely atmosphere. Breakfast got everything you need for just 10 PEN. At last you get a really friendly staff. Shoutout to Ever, who recommended food as well as places and helped me with getting from A to B.

staff e instalaciones 10/10, te dan llave y puedes dejar tus cosas luego del checkout, tuve mala suerte que cuando subi a cenar habia un chico fumando weed, si el staff lo prohibiera o fuera una regla lo recomendaría pero no

+Nice common area +Very ok and usable kitchen +Worth the price -There was a lot of staff but they didn’t do much. Smoked week and played videogames instead of making sure our room was clean or buying a sponge that was usable for the kitchen for example. -It was not clear that our private room was in a building on the other side of the street. Our common areas was not finished or had staff sleeping in it so we had to go the other one which was annoying
