La ubicación y la practicidad.
Que el personal hablaba en inglés (no hacían un esfuerzo extra) y los huéspedes de larga estancia se adueñaban del cuarto y las instalaciones. N

La struttura è centralissima
200 mt dal malecón
Fare colazione sui tetti di Vallarta è speciale
Un solo bagno per 10/15 persone è troppo poco
Nella stanza non ci sono scaffali per cui abbastanza scomodo

Wonderful hangout options, staff very helpful, colorful, taco party hosted by staff, Great location
Depending on the room, closest bathroom could be on different floor with very uneven steps. Not good for midnight visit. Room could have used a bedside light

I enjoyed the roof top the most and the consistency that the staff cleaned on daily basis. ex. power washing bathrooms, roof top. There were many spaces to hang out in. Compared to other hostels we stayed in Mexico, this was our favorite. It was a short walk to the ocean. I liked how they had cold drinks for purchase and beach towels to rent.
No paper towels or hand dryers to dry your hands after using the bathroom. The community fridge was not the cleanest which is everyone's responsibility. Guests need to do better. The lack of planned activities for hostel guests. The gym mirror facing our open bedroom window. I believe we were told the place had AC but this was not the case. Some staff members were not as friendly as others and just kept to themselves rather than making all people feel welcome.

Alejandra et tout le staff sont super sympa. Il nous organise des sorties et des jeux.
Petit bémol, pour le bruit de la circulation pendant la nuit, nous sommes très bien situé près de la mer, l'inconvénient est la proximité d'une rue passante.

La terraza, la vista, la ubicación, mi cama súper cómoda todo excelente, el ambiente del lugar definitivamente sientes que estas en vallarta
Que mi habitación no tenía absolutamente nada más que la cama, por lo que pague me hubiera gustado al menos una mesita de noche para poner mi teléfono

Me gustó la ubicación, está a dos calles del malecón. Muy céntrico de todo.
No vale la pena el desayuno. Todos los días son hotcakes y café. Que son de muy mal gusto para mí parecer.
Todo el staff es extranjero y es difícil la comunicación

La ubicación es buenisisisma, la atencion es muy buena por parte del personal, la habitacion privada esta muy cómoda y muy limpia y un plus es que habia aire acondicionado , hay una farmacia, varios oxxos, zona romántica y el centro muy cerca.
Me hubiese gustado una tv en la habitacion pero considerando qué es un hostal pues no es muy común.

Ubicado en un punto muy estratégico, cerca al malecón, el hospedaje fue tal cual la descripción, super recomendado para los que buscan solo una cama para dormir y donde guardar las cosas

The staff are always great there and is like a home away from Home.
Could have had one more bathroom even a urinal for the men.

Location, not 2 minutes to the beach and boardwalk (if you don’t get distracted on the way), outfitted kitchen, security, ocean view from rooftop. great people (can’t stress this enough), large scope of different peoples. A really laid back atmosphere. Rooms cleaned every day (aside from your bunk, thankfully). List goes on.
Can get really noisy in the early AM. Can’t complain too much about that considering it’s literally right in the city centre and it’s too hot to work in the PM.
Also no shower curtain, so every time anyone would have a shower the floor would be very very wet.
9.0 / 10.0
The location was exceptional, only one block from the ocean, and the room was more than adequate.
The bathroom/shower was upstairs from my room, and not situation in a private place (right outside from where one prepares meals) but since it was my first experience at a Hostel in a foreign country, it was much appreciated by me.

La vista
Pero no regresaría porque salí muy temprano deje mi número de cuenta y la llave juntos con una nota que decía aquí está mi llave confío que van a transferirme mis 100 pesos de depósito por la llave y no me devolvieron nada , eran 100 pesos (6 dólares) pero me decepcionaron la falta de confianza

Comfortable big bed, good location
Had to pay to rent a towel, there were no hand towels and no bath mat. Our room was right opposite reception so was loud and had a window without a curtain so light streamed in the whole night

Unsere nassen Klamotten wurden getrocknet und zusammen gelegt.
Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr nett, es gab einige tolle Unternehmungen vom Hostel aus.
Es liegt direkt im Zentrum.
Es gab leider keine Möglichkeit seine Klamotten wo aufzuhängen, daher haben wir sie auf dem Geländer draußen aufgehangen, was aber nicht gerne gesehen wurde.
Jeden Tag hab es nur Pancakes, keine Auswahl Möglichkeiten für jemanden mit einer Gluten Intoleranz.
Unsere Balkontür konnte man nicht abschließen.

Place is beautiful, colourful, have lovely patio where you can chill and enjoy sunset. A/C is available in the rooms but only from 6 or 7 PM until I think 10 AM in the morning. Friendly and helpful staff, majority of them volunteers yet still super nice. Location is great.
Bathroom weren't exactly clean in a way, one time I just saw women throw a bucket of chlorine water thrown into the washroom so not entirely sure how if that's the end of cleaning. Bathroom is literally next to the kitchen on the patio (at least that's the only one we've been shown) which is not great when someone is eating there or having a party or smth. Wifi was down several times during a week long stay.

I loved everything about this hostel. There’s a welcoming and social vibe, the whole team are friendly and helpful and organise great events. Location is perfect just one block from the beach. Shops, bars and restaurants are nearby. Everything is clean and the free breakfast is an added bonus.

The location is very good.
There is not hot water to shower at the hostel, I think they should mention this since it's not a cheap place. It has a lot of stairs, so if you bring large suitcases, it will be difficult.

Le petit-déjeuner c'est super. Ça permet de bien commencer la journée et la terrasse est très agréable.
Il y a des équipements pour faire un peu de sport ou du yoga. L'emplacement est parfait. C'est très sécurisant pour une femme seule.

Cheap and good location
Some of the rooms didn't have AC with very poor fans and ventilation. It was impossible to sleep at night sometimes.

Perfect backpacker hostel in the old part of Puerto Vallarta, just a couple of blocks from the beach and main plazas. Lots of food options and convenience stores nearby. Many nice spots to hang out around the hostel, and an awesome rooftop terrace were they serve breakfast and you can hang out. Nice vibe at the place, and I met a bunch of cool people here, both backpackers and mexicans on vacation. The owner was super cool and let me store my SUP board for a small fee. Muchas gracias por todo!

Location is fantastic
False advertising - I booked the private room which in the photo had air conditioning and looked very nice. When I showed up unfortunately the photos did not match the room.

People are super nice and I liked that they sometimes hold the event for the guest and volunteers. If you are solo traveler and want to explore the area, go to the tour held by the hostel :) it is really fun to hike and see the nature. Rooms are good for the price. Girls room get the bathroom for the room so it is very convenient and nice. The manager makes great pancake and it is good with milk.

the group of volunteers that works there is absolutely lovely. They try to accommodate you and make you feel very comfortable, almost at home !
We were very positively surprised by the room that we got. a private room for 2 persons: huge (huge) bed, no AC but 2 fans, a drawer, etc
Most of the hostel is very clean and is being cleaned 3 times a day by the volunteers.
The rooftop is breath taking, extremely clean kitchen.
The vibeeeee please it should be equal in every hostel !
we shared a bathroom with other guests not very clean or not very caring about the next user. But as said earlier the bathroom was cleaned very often so no problem in the end.
no AC in the room is a little difficult to survive, but we made it with cold shower.

I liked that the property had plenty of space to relax and socialise when you wanted. it’s colourful and vibrant and is a stone throw away from the beach.
maybe it’s normal protocol, however, I wasn’t keen on walking past people asleep in the tv room or the corridor on make shift beds for them. I don’t know why that was happening.
7.0 / 10.0
Breakfast and coffee in the mornings were great, friendly staff and a cool common area. The bed was big, good wifi and free gym equipment available for use.
The fans in the room were very noisy, room was quite run down and the light outside our room was bright and was left on over night so it shone into our room.
