Clean, comfy and big bunks in the dorms. Creaky floor boards make being quiet impossible, but a really good hostel with hot showers, great location and a sociable atmosphere. Recommended.

Reading the reviews on this site, I was expecting a so-so experience based on the overall rating. What I think alot of people forget is that they are reviewing a hostel. This is an excellent hostel, with large beds and very clean facilities. It is also centrally located among the tour agencies so you only need to walk 1 minute to your meeting point prior to embarking on the salt tour. Excellent value for your money!

Good for a night in uyuni. Nothing amazing but a bed to sleep in. No wifi. Close to the banks/restaurants

Loved our matrimonial room! only a couple of issues - the light bulb hanging from the ceiling in the bathroom was very low and we accidentally hit it once and it flickered on and off and kind of scared us - water everywhere from the shower and a flickering light bulb is never a safe combination. Also, the shower door was off its hinges, so after we showered, there was a lot of water on the bathroom floor, making the light bulb situation even worse. otherwise, the hostel was great!

Good for a night before or after the salt flats tour. The electric went off a couple of times for a few minutes but nothing major. No internet is a bit annoying and internet in Uyuni is REALLY slow in the cafes too, just a warning!

Hostel is right in the centre of Uyuni, close to tour offices and the bus station. Really friendly and helpful English speaking staff, huge comfortable beds and clean bathrooms with hot water. Common room with tv and a really cool bar joined on that serves excellent fresh pizza - perfect after 3 days in the desert and salt flats. Would definitely stay here again if passing through Uyuni!

Most unfriendly staff I ever came across during my travels. Although the check-in says "anytime" you´re most definitely not welcome anytime. Even using facilities to making a cup of tea after a long busride was almost impossible. Check in time was uncertain when we asked and the hostel lady picked a fight after our question why the website mentioned "anytime" then. She literaly shouted at us in a very hostile way. No WiFi, showers that are either too hot or too cold and one bathroom´s a mess.

A clean and welcoming hostel to spend the night after the Salar. Extremely comfortable, large dormitory beds (almost double sized). Good sized common room with cable tv and friendly staff. Not the cheapest option but no complaints.

Breakfast was one of the best in 2 months of travel in S.A,...scrambled eggs, fruits, yogurt and fresh breads. What a delight! We didn't use the pool but it is clean and beautiful. The patio area is very clean and attractive. The only issue was internet access. The bandwidth available in this remote location is challenged by the # of users especially at 18:00 and early AM. Apart from that small issue, it is excellent!

A basic hostel in a small, simple town. We were without power overnight but this was the case for the whole town and not at all the fault of the hostel. Clean, spacious and comfortable double rooms.
