Never left a review before but feel I have to. The hostel tried to refuse us the free breakfast despite it being advertised everywhere. After I checked out, they tried to make me pay $35 more, arguing that I stayed an extra night (not correct!!). Rude staff, 1 bathroom for 20 people, not a single knife in the kitchen, not enough places for people to sit. You're not allowed in the kitchen from 9am-12. View is nice, showers are hot and I met great people. Otherwise I can't recommend.

It was a good value stay, i enjoyed my time, that being said you have to be okay with mild inconveniences. The wifi was occasionally slow, there is only 1 bathroom for the downstairs rooms, the breakfast is make it yourself with coffee, egg, bread, and bananas but there were plenty of kitchen appliances. I didn't find the staff super helpful but they were friendly. They weren't around in the morning or evenings though and all the doors remained unlocked, no key was given to me for the bedroom.

Originally booked a 6-bed en-suite room but was checked into a 4-bed dorm with a shared bathroom instead, which was disappointing. There were only two shared bathrooms for the entire hostel—one was blocked, and the other was locked and unavailable one morning. The shower also flooded the whole bathroom. Breakfast is self-serve with eggs, bread, and bananas but it wasn’t always set out for 7am. The room itself only had one plug socket. However good location and the kitchen was cleaned regular...

It's okay, nothing to write home about. The location was the best thing. Not much of an atmosphere or a common area for solo travellers. The staff were very nice but didn't think they were super knowledgable on what to do in the area. My room was a private one, the sheets had a couple of stains and it was pretty basic. No fan or AC meant I had to sleep with the window open and it got quite loud at times.

Disappointing. Free breakfast isn’t really a thing unless you’re up at 6am… by 7:30am all the eggs were gone - 1 tray isn’t enough for a full hostel. I did ask if it was possible for more but was told no.

Hostel ok, mais booker une chambre de 4 pour avoir une chambre de 6. Dire petit déjeuner compris, ou tu as les ingrédients et que tu cuisines mais qu’il n’y a rien. J’ai pas vraiment compris.

this hostel is fantastic! unvelievably beautiful views, low prices, very friendly and helpful staff - eggs and bread and banana free to cook breakfast with, clean kitchen and rooms, ensuit for the private rooms and the staff will reserve tours and shuttles for you (which is really really useful once you realise no Uber in the town) - also great last minute prices on shuttles through the hostel.Great vibe and amazinggggg view for so small a price it's hard to believe!

Good hostel for a few nights but nothing special. A bit old and not very pretty. Personal is amazing. They have great recommendations for activities. If you are not too picky perfect place

Prix très bas donc la qualité est équivalente. Le seul gros problème est la porte d’entrée qui parfois est verrouillée et qui peut être verrouillée par n’importe qui. J’ai du figurer une façons d’entrer car je me suis retrouvé enfermé dehors.

Lo bueno que tiene el hostal es que es barato y bien ubicado. Por la temporada baja no había mucho ambiente, pero eso no me molestaba. Lo que no me gustó fueron la seguridad — no había conserje y la puerta del hostal estaba toda la noche abierta — la ducha semi-rota y trato del personal. Respecto a lo último sentía que no sabían para nada aconsejarme en cuanto a tours o actividades. En fin, imagino que recibí lo justo para el precio que era!

Was een renovatie bezig waar niks over was vermeldt. Stof overal. Zogenaamd free breakdance was er ook niet. Geen beveiliging. Personeel kon geen engels en was niet behulpzaam. Gingen al om 15.30 naar huis terwijl receptie tot 21.00 open zou blijven. Iedereen kon ongestoord naar binnen 24/7 zonder beveiliging. Toen we hier hostels op hadden aangesproken werden we genegeerd en hebben sindsdien niks gehoord. We willen ons geld terug of iniefergeval een vergoeding want dit slaat nergens op.

Very very dirty, cold showers, unclean beds, woke up to what looked like brown dots on the bed. Think the wooden bedframe was rotting. Kitchen was filthy and the oven didn’t work.
