The facilities are amazing, it's always clean and comfortable. There is a gym, ping pong table, wonderful Tereza and outdoor area, temazcal (highly recommend), lots of bathrooms and showers. They give free coffee and tea every morning and offer amazing breakfast and dinner. They have events on a daily basis and there is a great social atmosphere at the bar and dining area. Highly recommend.

I loved my stay at Puerta Vieja!! The hostel an amazing place to meet new people and the events they have every day are seriously something you shouldn’t miss out on! It is such a beautiful space and the staff members are some of the nicest people ever :) I really wish I could have stayed longer but I’m sure I will come back 🫶🏻

Can confirm bedbugs are an issue currently. Besides this I booked a dorm bed for the night before I arrived at 7.30am from the night bus on purpose so I could shower and have a nap, however my bed was not made? So I had to nap on the lounge until lunch time when someone made it. Not only that but they didn’t even give me a tour of the hostel for where to find anything. The social atmosphere was good but operationally this place needs to pick up its game.

It is very good and social, staff are lovely and the dinners good as you meet people, not very filling portions though and there is a vegan breakfast but not a vegan dinner - other than that still really good as far as as hostel food goes! And great prices for cocktails and beers I couldn’t believe how cheap it was. Only thing is Theres a construction site next door which starts at 4 in the morning!!! So not great if you value your sleep. Private rooms are nice

Avoid this place, there are BED BUGS in multiple dorms!! In the room I was checked into, a girl woke up covered in bites. Management handles this very poorly and it seems to be an ongoing issue (based on prior complaints I wasn’t aware of). They expected me to pay extra for a private room just to feel safe. I ended up leaving. For your own peace of mind, stay away!

One of the best hostels we stayed at on our trip through central america. Rooms are very cheap but still really really nice! Shared dinner every night for a price that feels like a steal. Free cocktails twice a week and stuff going on every night! Highly recommend!

Im Allgemeinen ein super Hostel. Sehr viele Angebote und leckeres Frühstück. Was ich trotzdem hier festhalten möchte, weil ich mir wünschte, dass es andere Reisende auch tun. Es gab in einem Zimmer Bettwanzen. Leider hatte ich das Gefühl, dass damit nicht transparent umgegangen wurde und weiterhin Gäste in das Zimmer eingecheckt wurden. Hier sollte professioneller gehandelt werden.

Loved this hostel! Go here for the food alone - dinner and breakfast were both delicious everyday. The private rooms are clean and spacious. The dorms are smaller, still decent, but the privacy curtains don't go full way around on some beds. Loads of communal space, inside and outside, for working or chilling. Bathrooms are clean and spacious. The staff and volunteers are great. Super friendly atmosphere here. Only negative is the kitchen could be better maintained.

Very social hostel, breakfast is great, parties were fun and a lot of nice activities. Downside was that there was mold in the female only room and my clothes constantly felt moist. They also give a free meal for a good review on Hostelworld, which I don't appreciate.
