Amazing hostel. Really nice facilities especially the kitchen, it’s well stocked and highly functional. Great location, close to the tia and town centre. Really nice set of volunteers when I was there

Overall hostel felt grotty and tired. There was never any soap in the bathrooms despite asking, and the kitchen didn’t feel clean. The only place to dry clothes was the outside terrace upstairs - in a town thats known to rain most days… However the beds were comfy and the shower was good.

I loved the movie room and quiet location. It still felt safe at night. The vibes from staff were off.

I loved this hostel, it was relaxed, friendly and had everything you’d need. I felt very comfortable staying here for a week and using it as a base for adventures in Baños. HUGE shout out to Eddie who works there who made me feel welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived. It made my trip to have someone there who was so friendly and knowledgable about the area. He even took a few of us out to see markets, waterfalls and viewpoints. Thanks Eddie!

We booked a private room for one night. The room didn’t looked like on the pictures at all. It was not mentioned that the room was on the rooftop, which led to the fact that you always have walk outside in the cold if you want to use the bathroom. The room was really small, the walls and wallpaper were very worn and dilapidated. In general the hostel was not in a good condition, other than on the pictures presented. The air in the room was really bad, but opening it doesn’t felt safe during ...

Hostel is ok. Beds were fine and rooms are large but the power sockets are at the foot of the bed, so very inconvenient to use during the night. The common area is quite small and the volunteers / employees would always hang out there at night taking up all the space so there was no space for the guests to sit. They didn’t create a very social environment. I found it a bit uncomfortable like I was intruding in their space.

Hostel 8 min vom Stadtzentrum entfernt. Super netter Host hat uns sehr viele gute Tipps gegeben und alle Probleme direkt gelöst. Zimmer war sehr karg eingerichtet. Uns Zimmer war im Erdgeschoss mit großen Fenstern die nicht sehr dick waren. Immerhin gab es ein großen Zaun. Es waren viele Geräusche von der Straße zu hören. Küche war okay ausgestattet.

A estadia no hostel Papachos foi ótima! O espaço é aolhedor e com vários ambientes, sendo a cozinha o que mais agregou nos dias que passamos lá, pudemos interagir com os outros hóspedes, o que nos rendeu ótimos dias em boa companhia. As pessoas que nos receberam foram muito receptivas e acolhedoras, e nos deram boas dicas de lugares e como fazer os programas que tínhamos planejado. Fica um pouco fora do centro mais movimentado, mas considero isso uma qualidade por ser mais calmo e silenc...

Overall a fine hostel with great value for money. It’s right across from the hospital which was really nice. It’s a bit loud both due to it not being the most isolated and also just the vibe of the house full of happy people. The bathrooms needed something to dry of the hand in, and the reception weren’t 24/7 as we tried to get in contact with the receptionist at 8am however we weren’t able to.

Super hostel, ambiance familiale, le personnel est super cool et de donne de bons conseils pour les lieux à visiter autour. La douche chaude et les rideaux pour les lits est un gros +++. Merci pour ce séjour, je reviendrais dans cet hostel avec grand plaisir !
