The staff was courteous and friendly, but the rooms are overdue for an upgrade, especially the sagging and uncomfortable mattresses. The bathroom shower had black mold.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I liked how nice and safe the neighborhood was plus close to the airport. I wasn’t able to join, but I also really liked that there were activities like yoga and Spanish lessons offered. I wish there was a stronger wifi signal to reach my room and that there was a fan or window to ventilate the bathroom.

Rachel

Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Very nice staff. That’s the biggest thing for me is that the staff is very kind and helpful and responsive. This is very much a “hostel experience” where there’s a lot of people coming and going and a hot shower may or may not be possible and the showers have a tendency to puddle. But the facilities are kept clean and the biggest thing in my opinion is how good the staff is.

Good enough

The hostel is in a very convenient location, right by Arcos, an outlet shopping mall. It’s not the nicest hostel, it’s not the worst hostel. Somewhere in the middle. Everything is rather outdated, but it serves its purpose.

Couldn’t ask for more from a hostel

Stayed in other hostels that had bed bugs and creepy clientele. This one was very nice, friendly. Nice public areas and clean rooms. Nice bathrooms. Excellent deal.
