Convenient location. Helpful and pleasant staff. Looks nice from outside and inside. A nice well-kept building among both nice hotels and not-so-nice wrecks. Groceries, good restaurants, and waterfront within a few blocks. Toilets and showers not great, but ok. Bunk beds in hostel section not great, but ok. Value is good. (Though the hostel bunks are going away in April 2026 in favor of private rooms.) We liked it enough we are returning to Magnolia Inn on our way back to the airport.

Las habitaciones no tienen llave, en mi habitación habia aire acondicionado, pero no puedes manipularlo, lo prenden y apaga el personal, la temperatura la definen ellos. No en todas las piezas hay a/c Solo hay dos baños con higiene deficiente Solo hay 2 duchas muy incómodas, la cortina estaba asquerosa, la higiene deficiente, no tienen ventilación Las camas son literas muy frágiles, suenan mucho si te mueves No volvería

War gut! Die Lage direkt in Casco Viejo ist sehr gut und sicher. Die Toiletten hätten häufiger mal geputzt werden können

Sehr schönes Hostel im Casco Viejo. Die kostenlose Tour durch die Altstadt mit Jordi ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Good spot, nice staff but there was no communal vibe, and the showers were sooo awful, really gross, and I’m not a picky person, I’m used to hostel showers..

The shared bedroom doesn’t have curtains in all windows so at 7am there’s a lot of light in the room. Other than that really good!!

Reception staff needs training on 2 things: 1: understand the backpacking/Hostel culture. ⚠example: Reception girl goes to social room to tell people to take their feet off the couch 2: friendlier attitude I can tell they’re not used to backpacking environment This morning during the checkout, the reception guy was annoyed that I didn’t have my paper card for $2 deposit for towel Return Instead of asking how was the stay But I give credit to only 1guy works NightShift. A good...

Hostel really clean and in really good position. The staff is really nice but I bit rigid with the rules as they consider them to be an hotel as well. It's not possible to sleep on the couches if wanna rest waiting for the check in. The A/C is available only from 6.00pm and if you wish to rest during the day might be really hot with no chances to get A/C. The main things like cleanliness, position and staff were very good (beside this rigid rules), but we should have A/C anything we need.

Super great location, great facilities, great balconies, just 0 social vibe. The room was set at 17 which is wild (I was using my towel as a blanket). Overall would stay again.

This hostel is in the heart of the old town area and just beautiful in an old colonial style hotel there's plenty to do around Fair lots of restaurants and shops and access to free museums and the causeway area just a wonderful place to stay lots of good gifts from all over the world
