Explora Hostels Reviews

The staff is great and have been a great help.

The facilities were great, the place was clean all the time, bathrooms were also clean. Nice breakfast. The location wasn't great, it's close to restaurants and bars, however the area didn't look safe. Inside the hostel everything was perfect.

Don’t make your reservation for this hostel, they don’t recognize HostelWorld! We took like two hours to explain them that we yet paid the 10% deposit, i showed the confirmation of mi reservation but they didn't agree. The owner Laura Aponte we had on the phone and who insulted us answered we had the option or to leave the hostel (a sunday at 10 PM), or if not she will take the 10% of deposit on the receptionist's salary. I travel since two years and that's the first i see that. It's a shame!

This hostel was very clean and the rooms were very nice; great value. I would mention that it was somewhat quiet. They did help us arrange a tour to Andres Carne de Res which was awesome. I would stay again because of the good facilities, but would hope they improve the "hostel vibe". Hostels are made to be social melting pots. I did feel this hostel has some work to do there.

Ryan (the barkeeper) is the best person on earth!

Great staff. Especially Luisa at the front desk!

Very good value for money. The only minus is the noise from the common area.

They wanted to charge me the 10 % I had already paid to Hostelworld. I had to argue with the manager over the phone for about 15min. telling her that she is at fault charging us the whole amount. Additionally, we had booked a twin room (shared bathroom) for 55'000 Pesos, but they didn't have this room, so she wanted to give us a room for 60'000 with private bathroom and charge us the whole 60'000 Pesos. For me this incident that was very unpleasant and unnecessary!

Great hostel if you don't mind being kept up a little at night by the noise of everyone having a great time. Lack of soundproofing was my only complaint.
