    Location is good, from downtown area it’s a 10 min walk. The AC in the rooms is a good thing as it’s quite hot there. Luis was quite friendly and explained everything well. The wifi connectivity through out the property was incredible! It’s a well maintained property.

    My friend and I stayed in a private room at Pista Q in January. We had a great stay here and would definitely recommend to others on a budget looking for an affordable, safe, quiet and comfortable hostel. The staff were so kind and helped us feel more at home in Aruba. We took advantage of the great kitchen to prepare our meals every day and hung out by the pool in the afternoon when it was too hot to be walking around. The hostel was a 10 minute walk to the beach, which was very easy to get to and we felt very safe walking around the downtown at any hour. It was also very close to the main bus station in Oranjestad.

    There is no hot shower (even the weather was hot, it’s important to have the option to take a warm bath, especially at night when the temperature decreased a bit). And it’s far from Eagle Beach.

    All the parts of the house have good space, it’s a big house and it was very clean. Kitchen is simple but offers everything you need to cook if you want to. It’s located near to the supermarket, good / local restaurants and downtown.

    I had an absolutely amazing stay there. Luis and her family are the best hosts to have. Also their cat is adorable! Location is in the centre and you can basically walk everywhere! In hostel you have all you need, it feels like you are at home. I really miss this place.

    Don’t lose your keys or leave them in the room, because if you come home late at night and find the door locked you might be stuck out there :/

    Clean, comfortable, good WiFi, good security (not that you need it here), and decent location downtown— it’s an 8 minute walk to the bus stop that will take you anywhere you need to go. And if you’re a diver, it’s an 8 minute walk to the Mermaid dive boat (great company to dive with). Oh, and the pool is great!

    I recently had the pleasure of staying at a wonderful hotel that I booked through booking.com, and my experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by an aura of cleanliness that was maintained throughout the premises. It's not often that you come across a hotel that truly dedicates itself to ensuring such pristine conditions. One of the highlights of my stay was the well-equipped shared kitchen. It was a great spot, offering the convenience and warmth of home-cooking even while being away from home. Whether you're a cooking enthusiast or someone who enjoys quick, hassle-free meals, this kitchen met all the needs with its cleanliness and comprehensive set of amenities. The staff at the hotel were the epitome of friendliness and professionalism. Their warm smiles and attentive service added an extra layer of comfort to my stay. It was evident that the hotel values guest experience above all, with every staff member going the extra mile to ensure guests feel welcomed and valued. Furthermore, the hotel showcased its customer-first approach by offering to keep our bags for a few hours post-checkout at no additional cost. This gesture of goodwill was incredibly helpful and allowed us to explore the surroundings without the hassle of carrying our luggage. Overall, my stay at this hotel was marked by comfort, convenience, and exceptional service. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a homely and hassle-free stay. It's a rare gem that truly understands and delivers on the promise of hospitality.

    The top bunk bed was difficult to climb up so I needed a chair to get to the top. I was not the only one who had difficulties also getting down from the last rung. The staff were not always available and hard to find in the morning. However, they were. helpful. I would have preferred to pay more and have a breakfast included int the price of the property.

    I liked the location and the fact that a bus stopped almost at the front door. Pool was ok with a shaded area. The room temperature at times had to be regulated because it was so cold.

    The AC was difficult to control. Too hot or too cold. The walls were very thin to hear other guests engaging in what they probably thought was private activities

    Easy to find. Great location to walk downtown and to the trolley. The property is nice with common areas and backyard.
