Really recommend it! Great staff, always willing to help! In the city center, close to everything. Good wi-fi. Breakfast ok, nothing great but an amazing view. Small bathroom and for an 8-bed dorm was dirty most of the time. Really nice bar but empty/quiet almost every night. (Some friends stayed at big hotels and they hated them, old and smelly!)

this was our first time staying at a hostel. When we first arrived to San Andres the out side looked just like another "apartment building" but as we went in and greeted the staff and they explained how things worked I am happy to say that our expectations were met. The staff was always nice, helpful and courteous. one thing I would like to have the location to improve on would be to build an elevator! Thanks San Andres Viajero we loved it!

Great place to stay! By foot you can be in 10 min at the airport, 7 min at the main beaches and stores. And the view from the casino is awesome :D

I really like the hostel, it is new and clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the atmosphere is nice. It is very good that the breakfast is included in the price although more variety would be nice.

The chillout area is horrible, the pillows seemed to be not clean. I also missed some hammocks to relax. Also the kitchen equipment was very poor. The toilet in a dorm was blocked every day, maybe an information on the toilett would help, to throw no paper inside. The WiFi was not working in the rooms. The rest was good.

Gostei bastante e com certeza voltaria, os quartos são limpos e organizados, uma boa localização perto de tudo, o café da manhã é bom e tem uma vista espetacular, a internet funciona (wi-fi), fomos muito bem atendidos pelos funcionários que nos ajudaram com dicas e informação de passeios e comércio em volta do hostel.

Clean and nice staff! Location ok, 10min walk from the centre and beach. A bit expensive for a hostel but it was almost fully booked so I understand why. The WiFi is terrible though, only works for about 5 min everyday. Overall a ok hostel.

The only problem I had was with the air conditioning position. Since its close to the ceiling and there is a bed just beside it, making almost impossible to sleep with it on.
