Reviews and Ratings
I had a great time at this hostel, primarily because of the fantastic social atmosphere and lovely communal spaces. The bonfire at night was a highlight, perfect for mingling with fellow travelers. While the dorms were a bit dated and could use some improvement, I felt the overall experience was really fun and engaging. The location was excellent, with several local eateries and attractions nearby. Just keep in mind the breakfast could use some tweaks.
I had a pleasant stay at this hostel with its vibrant communal areas and friendly atmosphere. The bonfire at night was a highlight for me, creating a great social vibe. However, the breakfast could use improvement, and the bathroom facilities were somewhat limited. Overall, it's a decent place that offers good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at this hostel. On the plus side, it’s a great social atmosphere with fun communal activities and very fast internet. The free breakfast is a nice touch, and you can't beat the price for the tours offered. However, I was disappointed by the cleanliness of the private room and bathrooms; it just wasn't at the standard I expected.
I had an amazing stay at the hostel! The atmosphere was fantastic with a nightly bonfire and free salsa lessons. My dorm room had a unique loft space, which was a refreshing change. Plus, the price was unbeatable at 80 pesos a night with breakfast included. The only downside was that it gets quite busy at times, but that just adds to the vibrant experience.
