Very good hostel! It’s clean, beds are great, the staff is super friendly and helpful. It’s a calm hostel. Only thing is the doors are slamming shut so it can wake you up sometimes, so I would just advise to bring some earplugs, but it’s part of hostel life!

The Hostel was very clean, cleaning everyday, and quiet. Everything was in good condition and the location was in a secure neighborhood. Sometimes the showers were cold and at night it can get cold.

Bien ubicado. Estaba limpio, el personal amable. No hay buen ambiente pero tampoco es el perfil del bar. Las toallas estaban muy desgastadas a pesar de que son cobradas aparte.

I had such a nice stay here, I arrived around 9:30pm at night and the staff was so kind and stays up all night to make sure the guests all feel safe. I LOVED having them coordinate my airport pickup as well. Just complete peace of mind and in a great location. Wine bar walking distance away
