Absolutely loved our stay here in a lovely part of town not too far away from the action but far enough that we were not hassled by people trying to get us in to restaurants/shops constantly. The host is an incredible lady with great English and she really does her utmost to help and make sure you're well looked after. We liked it so much we ended up extending our stay for a week.

It is very close to the city center and San Pedro station. The staff is very helpful and super kind :) Regy (I hope I wrote it right) helped me a lot with everything. It was especially nice that he made me tea when I was affected by the high altitude, I felt like I was at home :) The accommodation also has a restaurant. They offer many delicious options at affordable prices. The hostel also has a perfect city view :)

After staying in a previously quiet hostel, I was looking for a place with more buzz but still enough silence when you need to sleep. This hostel ticked all the boxes. Great bar area with activities (pub quizzes, salsa lessons, beer pong tournaments), friendly staff that went out of their way to help (this included Melina, Dennis, Jacob - basically everyone I encountered), delicious affordable food, and comfortable beds. Dorms were a good size and everyone staying within was friendly and respectable. Bathrooms were cleaned regularly which was a huge plus too. Thanks guys!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    Great service, super welcoming, nice breakfast and the perfect budget hostel. Its surrounded by cheap food options and a 5 min walk from the main plaza. Cheap and cheerful. Kevin is really helpful with suggestions and recommendations. Not a party hostel, so be aware, but still had fun and a few nights out with the staff and guests!
