Hostel bien equipado para viajeros, camas con cortitas, corriente, solo le falta luz personal a cada cama. Recepción con buena acogida e información de todo tipo, todo muy céntrico, recomendado para viajeros.

The staff were SUPER helpful and lovely, helping us plan our next day and giving us recommendations of where to go. Hostel had a cozy vibe and the people we met were super friendly! Castro is small, but the hostel was in a good and easy to access location :)

Incredibly welcoming. The owner was particularly helpful with giving recommendations for the area and helping me when I had to change my travel plans. Good vibe in the hostel with a mix of other solo travellers.

Great location and super friendly staff were the highlights of this stay! Overall, the hostel is clean, has a well-equipped kitchen and provides free coffee and tea. The place gets slightly cold from time to time but it was fine.

Great hostel, nice staff, comfy beds, good shared spaces, fast internet (I worked while I was here). Not super social during my Tues-Thurs work week but the hostel is conducive to people connecting in the living room with lots of couches and sitting spaces. I did my laundry here, they had it done same day! The person at the front desk, Camila, checked me in and was super friendly and gave some great recommendations around town. The cat is very cute!

Nice hostel to stay in Castro. Friendly and helpful staff and only a few minutes from the bus terminal. Unfortunatly there is no outside area.

✅ Ein angenehmes Hostel mit sehr netten Mitarbeitern! Das Hostel ist gut ausgestattet und hat alles was man braucht. ❌ Leider war die Common area etwas wenig lebhaft. Das liegt wohl auch daran, dass dort nur wenig Tageslicht rein dringt.

I am traveling for years but write notes rarely. This time, I have to.....:). This LA MINGA hostel is exceptionally good. They have a well equipped kitchen, it is clean but the best part is the staff who without exception super nice and kind. Honestly, perhaps the best ecperience here in Latin America. They also have a lovely cat putting smiles on guests' faces.... You will love this hostel!!

Bel hostel pour se reposer mais pas assez de sanitaires. Il y a du personnel un peu moqueur, et d'autres très gentils !
