Refugio Esmeralda Reviews

This hostel actully couldn't receive me when I arrived. They had some kind of party going on, therefore they took me to another hostel two blocks away... bit strange, although the other hostel was fine

please reply your emails when people want to cancel their hostel and not ignore them

Stayed for one night before we found somewhere a bit better. For the price can't really complain but not a comfy place to stay in or to return to after trekking. Bathrooms really dirty and we found it hard to communicate with the staff with our limited Spanish (our fault, not theirs but difficult all the same when you need information). No lockers in dorms. On the plus side - location really good close to bus station.

Really liked the character of the place. The owner is a really friendly guy and though there aren't any lockers, he'll happily guard your stuff for you. The internet on the communal computer is slow, but if you have your own device the wifi is surprisingly fast. The beds aren't the world's most comfortable, but for a place this cheap, it's a great deal. Overall, I'd definitely recommend it.

friendly staff. dormrooms are small with no lock. beds are hard the place is basic but ok

As other reviews have mentioned, it is a hostel above a football club\bar\canteen downstairs. There is lots of memorabilia about the club´s history all over the walls, an interesting 30 minutes of viewing. An old computer with the town´s slow internet is available for basic internet use. The kitchen has fridge, freezer, gas rings for cooking and tables to sit at. Basic breakfast of bread and jam. Definitely worth checking out for the character itself, it had an odd charm :)

we arrived and the property and it looked like a football cantine. We got a dorm for 4. No lockers in the room and no lockers available. No towels. The beds were a wouden shelf with barrely matrass on it, the door couldnt be locked. T there were two showers in the same bathroom seperated by a shower courtain. Weird! Didnt look clean!

This hostel is like a Tom Waits music video!

While cheap, it was definitely lower quality than we expected. The doors can't be locked and there are no lockers provid
