The hostel was good overall. My only complaint is that the dorm rooms are really small and it is hard to move in them.

In general we had a nice stay here, staff are great, breakfast is decent and matresses comfy . My big problem is that beds are 100 pesos more expensive for walk in´s than on hostel world... sleight price differences i can understand, but that was ridiculous and it forced us to book online when it was completely unnecessary. this complaint is purely directed at management, the onsite staff did everything they could to make life easier for us.

Nice place,there is a an open air terrace where you can buy your beer in the hostel and drink there, 2 living rooms and 2 kitchens. Internet wi-fi is good, but the computers there are not. The location is good, many tourists spots around and close to buses stop, but be aware that at 6 p.m everything closes, apart from the pubs.

Great place. I stayed there for one night, on my way to Uruguay. I felt safe and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Met some cool people to hang out with for one night on the rooftop deck.

Locale is a little far from Tres Cruces but in the old city, so, fun to walk around, during the day. Little sketchy, at night, in one direction.....fine, in the other. Loved the Brazilian restaurant, across the street; the super friendly and helpful, bilingual, fun staff as well as the very moderate price point. Rooms a little crowded and hot, with no a/c just small fans but balconies/shutters on windows, adds air. Good activities available to enjoy, or just stroll La Rambla.

A good hostel and really secure. The staff were really helpful and breakfast was great. Location was ok...bit of a walk to the main street but close to bars and the square. Bus from main bus station will take about 30mins on the c100 as the bus station is in the north part of the city.

This is a lovely hostel. It is in a very convenient location and has great facilities. However, the staff gave me conflicting information on the Hostel International membership discount.

The staff were really nice. Jero mainly always was presented when we needed and Carlos also helped me when I needed something. The location is good, is close to bars and to the "rambla". The people there were nice as well. Security was fine, I could also lock my stuff behind the bedroom.
