+ Affordable. Central location. The owner was kind and hardworking.

- Mattress springs were so hard they left bruises on my legs. Our dorm smelt quite badly of damp. The kitchen was dirty and had cockroaches on the counter. The older female staff member wasn’t very friendly or helpful when we were there. Didn’t refill the drinking water for a few days and had no toilet paper in the women’s bathroom for a day. Very strange “dentist waiting room” common area. Overall not very comfortable and the vibe was weird.

No joke about the beds! Epic springs poking you relentlessly. Hostel could use some work like shared fridge not cooling, trash cans full, etc. It was good & cheap for a short stay. There was confusion about my booking - I stayed 3 not 4 days (I had to rebook due to a mistake prior to my arrival so I guess there was an old reservation they had confused) and the desk staff tried to get me to pay for an extra day - said the young woman would have it taken out of her pay due to the error which conce...

As other reviews have noted the beds are very "SPRINGY" - springs poking you- stayed only 3 nights so not too bad. Curtains were on PVC which kept falling down. AC was put on in the evenings, only sheets provided so pretty chilly for this Florida girl. Big fridge (common room) didn't cool (had to use freezer) mini fridge in kitchen was it. Trash cans were full when I checked in. whatever. Bathroom Ok - some drain not so good. Hotwater. Overall, good for a short stay. Get what you pay for.

+ La ubicación y el precio fueron muy prácticos, y la atención de la encargada muy amable, nos ayudó con ubicarnos en camas de abajo como lo habíamos solicitado en la reservación. Y las instalaciones y los servicios (Internet-refrigerador-baños, terraza al aire libre) excelentes.

+ Ein ganz okay Hostel. Ich finde es hat nicht sehr viel Herzblut. Badezimmer sind okay. Es gibt innen und außen einen recht lieblosen Aufenthaltsbereich. Es gibt vorhänge am Bett und AC. Auch zum Zentrum ist es nicht weit - wobei das glaube ich in San Ignacio nirgends weit ist.

- Betten fand Ich schrecklich. Man spürt die Federn, Die Vorhangstangen sind locker und wackelt das ganze bett wenn man sich bewegt. Auch sind die Metallstangen total laut.

Good facilities but the beds are bad. top bunk is so loud, steps uncomfortable, and nothing to stop your things falling down the side to the bunk below you

Pretty bare and stark, as the pictures look. It was a great location and not bad value, but I found the atmosphere very strange and the girl that worked there spoke so quietly I could barely understand her. There’s a kitchen which isn’t very clean. The A/C is only on between 7pm-7am and anyone can change it, so my first night someone put it up to 28 degrees & it was boiling!

Taiwan Solo traveler Mar 2, 2026 8.0/10

+ 1. Affordable price. 2. Spacious public area. 3. Many shops and travel agencies along the street. 4. Plenty of space under the bed for luggage. 5. I'm very grateful they let me in to put my luggage first. 6. There is a place to dry clothes.

- 1. Very dark after turning off the lights; a small lamp might be better. 2. Water cools down very quickly, making it difficult to adjust the temperature.

+ - Corresponde perfeitamente ao que se propõe; - Bem localizado; - Camas com cortinas as quais conferem um pouco de privacidade pelo menos; - Presteza e cordialidade da recepcionista; - Não é necessário nada além deste hostel para uma boa estadia em San Ignácio;

- - Embora a recepcionista tenha gentilmente conseguido um cadeado de improviso após minha solicitação, o hostel poderia disponibiliza-los de forma sistemática, uma vez que além da cama, o armário é o único cômodo de qualquer hostel que providencia alguma privacidade.

+ Muy buena ubicación, en pleno centro de San Ignacio, a un par de cuadras de la terminal de buses, restaurantes y supermercados. Es un hostel tranquilo, con cortinas en las camas de las habitaciones compartidas, lo que da mayor privacidad. La cocina, aunque pequeña, está muy bien equipada. Por ultimo, un agradecimiento y un saludo especial a Amy por su excelente atención y disposición para ayudar en todo momento.
