    We had the private room with bathroom. The bathroom could be more clean. A bit too expensive for what you get.

    Breakfast was good and the staff is very friendly. Nearby there are a lot of nice bars and restaurants. We felt safe in the neighbourhood.

    Could be a bit cleaner but well, it also depends a lot on the guests so, let's not be too hard on this.

    The hostel staff is awesome, the location is perfect and the facilities are very green and pretty. They have very cool green patio to enjoy your breakfast and have a break from the city.

    The room didn’t smell very good (female dormitory) because there wasn’t enough fresh air circulation. The bathroom floor was always wet and the shower didn’t have warm water.

    The garden area is really nice and Wi-Fi works great. Breakfast was good, fresh fruit and pancakes. The staff is very helpful and speaks good English.

    The smell inside the room...no proper ventilation...though it is a 6 female dorm...it feels like crowded...very less space to move around with all the bags on the floor. The smell inside the room and no ventilation makes me hard to breathe for the 3 nights I stayed... I have asked for a fan but was not given... I could have given 10 but these two points shld be taken into consideration for improvement.

    It was dripping on my bed from the ceiling, unfortunately. The dorm room is a bit small and there are not enough lockers. Also there seemed to be only one shower.

    The bed was really comfy and it was silent in the night. The breakfast was great :)

    There needs to be more showers. I got up early so it wasnt a problem but I think it would be later on. Also would be nice to have curtains on the top bunks as well as bottom.

    Beautiful house with garden and lots of space to hang out. Breakfast was excellent. The area seemed nice with lots of options for food, though the kitchen looked decent and you can get Uber Eats too.

    The bathrooms needed to be cleaned more often. The breakfast was very poor and not enough for so many people. It was hard to find a free table early in the morning.

    The location was good, within walking distance to the city center. There were some good restaurants nearby. The room was clean and big enough for 4 people. Nice sitting area outside.

    There was a confusion with the rooms. I selected a 4-bed room for which I paid a little more. When I did teh check in, they put in a 8-bed room. I asked about it and they said that there's a confusion with Booking. The 4-bed one is for females only. That happened to another guest too. It would have been nice they honored that.

    The location of this place was great. Barrio Escalante is a trendy upscale neighborhood with lots of bars and restaurants. The hostel included a very good breakfast and has a lot of common areas where to hang out.

    My room was right beside the parking lot so I could hear a conversation between people coming home late just outside, although they were not being noisy. Other than that, the place was vey nice!

    Great location, plenty of neat restaurants and cafes in the area. Lovely gardens where we enjoyed our breakfast!

    Overall hygiene was great but little insects were crawling all over the bed posts, the guy explained it was wood termite - not a very pleasant sight.

    Chill place, I could only spend my last night before my flight so unfortunately didn’t get to stay longer.

    Our bedsheets were not so clean. Our room was literally next to a bar and the bar patio so there was a lot of noise until midnight and early in the morning, so it wasn't a quite room. There was only 2 shared bathroom with just one shower.

    The place is nice, clean, breakfast is okay.

    I loved this place! The staff were super friendly, it was in a great location and they booked a shuttle service for my flight the next day. It’s a great place to stay if you’ve got a flight the next day. The breakfast I was very impressed with, it was a continental style.
