    Great place to stay! Clean, nicely decorated, pretty rooftop, safe and secure! We had a balcony room which was very pretty. There is no real front desk and checkin / checkout is pretty hands off but easy to understand and not difficult. Great location for walking around!

    Absolutely loved my time at this hostel! From the budget-friendly rooms to the friendly atmosphere, everything about my stay was fantastic. The short walk to the beach was a major plus, allowing me to easily enjoy the sun, sand, and surf whenever I pleased. The hostel's laid-back vibe made it easy to meet fellow travelers and make new friends, and the Easter party was a highlight of my trip, with great music, delicious food, and plenty of fun activities. Can't wait to return!

    If you want to be in the middle of the night life and shopping scene, this is in a great location. We just needed a place for one night before we flew back to the mainland. This is a very simple hotel on a city beach. The building is stuffed between two larger buildings so there are no views to the beach or the city. But the beach is right there. Parking is expensive unless you find one of the places on the main drag that are open air. The staff were very nice. This is a cheap hotel that is clean and no frills. A place to sleep.

    What a delightful find! The budget-friendly price of the rooms was just the beginning of a fantastic stay. The short walk to the beach made it easy to enjoy the stunning coastal views and relax by the shore. The hostel's welcoming atmosphere provided the perfect backdrop for socializing with fellow travelers, and the Easter party was a highlight of my trip, with music, laughter, and good vibes all around. Can't recommend this place enough!

    If I would have known how wonderful this place is, I would have stayed longer. Blanca and Miguel were super friendly when they welcomed me, they provided great restaurant tips. I felt very safe and the facilities are great. The beds are huge. Clearly the best hostel I ever stayed in.
