Nice hostel but they don’t tell you about the check out time and then make you pay

The hostel was kind of weird. There was only one key for a room of 6 people which meant the door was usually open. The front door was also open the whole day meaning everyone could technically enter. It didn’t feel very safe. For the money I paid the breakfast also was very disappointing. Overall the hostel didn’t have a traveller vibe and felt very empty.

Auberge très charmante avec un emplacement proche de la gare routière et de la plage. Personnel très sympathique. Peu d’ambiance dans l’auberge en basse saison (avril) mais parfait pour se reposer

Translated to English

Very charming hostel with a location close to the bus station and the beach. very friendly staff. little ambience in the hostel in low season (april) but perfect for relaxing.

Por el cambio de moneda que ocurrió durante los últimos días, me salió el alojamiento a más de 21’000 pesos. Aunque el hostal sea chévere, proponga desayuno, no vale un precio tan alto! Aún menos con una cama tan floja que tocaba la madera de abajo…! Seguro que en las próximas semanas adaptaron el precio. Lo espero!

Translated to English

Due to the currency change that occurred during the last few days, my accommodation came out at over 21000 pesos. even if the hostel is chevy, offer breakfast, it is not worth such a high price! even less with a bed so loose that it touched the wood below...!

Nice stay. Didn’t meet anyone social to be honest. Felt more of a bed than a hostel. Worth shopping around for prices for experiences outside of the hostel.

Excelente ubicación, cerca de la playa y el centro. Los lockers casi no funcionaban, estaban rotos o necesitabas un candado gigante para poder cerrarlo. El desayuno sin opciones sin gluten, por lo que no pude acceder a él, cero predisposición para ofrecer alternativas.

Translated to English

Excellent location, close to the beach and the center. the lockers almost didn't work, they were broken or you needed a giant lock to be able to lock it. the breakfast without gluten-free options, so I couldn't access it, zero predisposition to offer alternatives.

Hostal cerca del paseo marítimo con todo lo necesario. La cocina está muy bien equipada con un horno ideal para hacer pizza. Zona de billar y hammacas para desconectar. Habitaciones compartidas muy amplias con lockero para cada uno. El personal es atento y ayuda con todas las dudas que puedas tener.

El personal muy atento y dispuesto a ayudarte con dudas y para programar excursiones. El desayuno muy bien y las instalaciones perfecto . El único detalle fue que me entregaron la habitación aprox a las 16 horas cuando el check in era desde medio día, por suerte no se empalmó con ninguna excursión mía, pero importante considerarlo. El cuarto que se nos asignó daba directo a la calle por lo que era algo ruidoso, sin embargo contaba con todo lo necesario. Hay lugar para dejar el equipaje al...

Nous sommes restées 4 nuits dans cette auberge. Très bien placée, à quelques mètres de la mer. Le ménage était irréprochable. Tous les soirs, notre chambre et la salle de bain étaient nettoyées et nos lits étaient faits. La cuisine est très bien équipée et propre. On recommande !
