Nice stay in a cool area

The room was spacious and comfortable. Staff seemed nice and hostel overall had a nice vibe to it.

There was a horrible chemical smell coming from the bathroom. I think it was the cleaning products used to clean the toilet. It was so strong it got on our chest. I would maybe recommend switching out products to a less toxic one.

Good

it is cheap and good location

the cleanliness is poor lots of black mold in the rooms shower ( private double room) it does smell if you do not open the windows cleanliness of the kitchen is not given mostly due to other guest but also the volunteers do take up almost all the space (due to their fridge is broken) so there is little to no space left for paying guest.

Great friendly hostal

Great friendly atmosphere, small enough to get to know the people, very nice volunteers when i was there :) great location for visiting the city! I was lucky to get a single bed and not a bunk, slept really well!!! Good value for money definitely!!

All good! The room was not cleaned everyday, but the kitchen is great and bathrooms are pretty good too!

Pleasant

The shared kitchen. The location with loads of murals around. The atmosphere.

The private bathroom in the dorm is ridiculously tiny and dirty. It hasn’t been cleaned during our 3-night stay. The hostel is run by volunteers only and nobody seems to be supervising them so…

Pleasant

Staff was very friendly, they let me use the kitchen and open areas after I checked out. Nice kitchen too.

I stayed in the female dorm, super squeaky bed which irritated me a lot- every time I moved I felt as if I was waking the others up because it was so loud. Shower was horrible, the water either turns burning hot or freezing cold.

Value for money social hostal, but don't expect too much

Good vibes in this hostal, and a great location, walking distance from the nice areas. Great price too. Big kitchen.

The staff introduced us to the quiet hours at arrival and then was partying in the yard 2 hours after these hours. Since our window was facing the yard it made it hard to sleep. Our room had mold in the ceiling, but at least they gave us a better room to compensate.

Very good

The room was quiet and bed comfortable and we had no trouble sleeping. It was well positioned to access the fun parts of the city. Up the road is possibly the best pizza in South America.

The kitchen facilities there are limited so we decided to eat out instead of cook. The bathroom within our room had a slight sewage smell and was getting quite dated.

Nice place, amazing staff, near to the city center

I tried to communicate with them by phone and email because a late check in and I never received an answer. But finally everything was ok.

Privacy and location

They didn't answer the messages I sent before our arrival, so we didn't know if they were waiting for us. Bed sheets were not clean, and the towels that I hanged in the patio were put in a basket with dirty clothes :).

Pretty good.

Very well-equipped kitchen, quiet neighborhood, good shower, nice staff, nice mural and wall painting in the hostel as well as the neighborhood

The attached bathroom in the female dorm is very small (but you could always use the ones outside that are bigger), a pretty steep uphill trek to get to the hostel

Very good

Hosts do not speak English, but they try really hard (; the garden and kitchen are really nice, so is the building itself. Really spacious room. Had a fun gettogether with some national liquor (and the host started to speak English a lot better haha)

Personally, didnt care much for the location.

Poor hostel but ok location!

Wifi and location. (even though it meant having to use a steep staircase down to the city center where "drunk, homeless people on drugs etc" was hanging out).

Dirty old hostel. Female dorm very small and smelly. Old worn out sheets, cold (no heater), the wooden floor was making loud noises walking on it. Bathroom and showers dirty and bad water pressure. Had to tell the staff several times to fill up with toilet paper and soap. Breakfast very poor. The female volunteer stayed up until 4.30am partying with some of the guests one night and continued so even when I told them to stop because they were disturbing our sleep!!!

Great friendly staff!!

Excellent well informed staff. I was provided with a map and suggestions of things to do upon check in. Everyone was friendly and warm, we had drinks in the night but were courteous of the neighbors when it was late.

Breakfast was bread and jam and tea or coffee. some cheese or yogurt would have been a good addition. The hostel was in a quiet area, not super active but staff gave great directions of how to get to places (grocery, bus station, etc)
