Nice hostel with rooftop and very big kitchen and breakfast included. It was just very empty and that’s why not that social. Very good location and close to Viajero where you can go for party

De los hostales más hostiles en los que me he hospedado en la vida, agradezco a Julián que fue el único host con buen servicio y a las señoras de servicios generales muy bien.

Es mi segunda vez acá, personal amable, desayuno rico. Mejorar la red WIFI que a veces no nos funcionó y a las camas tal vez un poco de privacidad no le caería mal como algún black out o algo así. . Los seguiría eligiendo y recomendando como hostal, muchas gracias.

The hostel was really good. the location is great, in walking distance to poblado metro station. Rooms and bathrooms were clean. The kitchen ist equiped with everything you need for a simple meal and the breakfast was really good too.

The staff was quite unfriendly, though I might have just caught them on a bad day. The dorms were extremely hot, even when it was cool outside. The mattresses have plastic covers, which is good, but the sheets don’t fit well and keep slipping off. On the plus side, the showers are great, there’s free breakfast, and the location is excellent. I only stayed one night and decided to move to a different hostel for the following nights.

Mi estancia no hubiera sido la misma si no me hubiera quedado en 💜🐵, limpieza diaria, desayuno preparado en 5 minutos, bartender chevere y bebidas baratas, Suki hermosa, y Sebastian y Juli siempre dispuestos a ayudarte.

Prós: localização boa, perto de tudo; Contras: quarto com 12 pessoas extremamente quente e fedido, sem circulação de ar direito, com locker pra mochila nada prático debaixo da cama. Eu não voltaria a me hospedar no lugar.

Good location, good showers. However, pretty dirty (the beds), couldnt close window to our room (everybody could see in from the hallway, plus light shining bright at night), loud (you could hear a lot from the toilet and the corridors). Bathrooms were occupied often - albeit not the staffs fault.
