Rossco Backpackers Hostel Reviews

Location is great and the staff is nice and helpful. They offer great value tours and the dorms are clean - the bonfire at nights is a great touch!

It was a nice hostel, clean and confortable. Also, You have to pay a few dollars extra in order to stay in the hoster after check out time.

One of the best hostels I've been on my trip!

Great Hostel!! Good location, laid back atmosphere and the dogs are great!!

I wascomming for one night only and stayed for 3 days,San Cristobal is amazing and the staff from the hostel was very nice. quite but yet fun place to stay. definetilly coming back.

FANTASTIC value if you get one of the Hostelworld deals. The four-bed dorm we stayed in was beautiful, like a little Swiss lodge! Great environment, the fire is a nice touch and breakfast is good. Nice dogs but the roof terrace is quite dirty because of them. Only thing it lacks is somewhere warm and cosy to hang out at night, because it gets quite cold!

Nice hostel, big lockers, comfy courtyard with bonfire every night, fast wi-fi, helpful staff, simple breakfast included. There is a discount if you book with hostel world (walk-ins pay substantially more).

Excellent place! Better to go for the dorms with bathroom as the shared one´s are over the courtyard and it´s a bit chilly at night in San Cristóbal!

Nice staff at rossco's. The place wasn't as lively as I thought but we were there in low season. Rooms clean and they have their own laundry service onsite which is very handy. Would stay there again

Muy buen lugar para quedarse, bien ubicado! el staff buena onda, tienen para reservar buenos lugares para visitar y a precios convenientes! recomendable 100%

the rooms are rather dark, only one lightbulb for one big room, the toilets and showers were not clean, of the two internet computers only one was working and connection was really slow, they ask extra money for everything even when you want to use a locker while it even doesn't have a lock, you have to use your own or buy one if you haven't got one with you. they are not really worth being in the lonely planet or rough guide with the description they have now in the book, overrated in the books

Good location walking distance to everything in san cristobal. Big dormrooms with comfy sturdy bunkbeds. Only downside is that it gets freezing at night and the rooms don't have heating.

The bom fire was good! But other than that rooms are very dark you can't see inside them!! They only have one power plug which is inside the mix dorm so if you want to charge anything you have to leave it with reception!! Also they overcharged me double what I booked online and I spoke to other ppl in hostel they had done the same to them! I got my money back but it was dodgy! They also advertise really cheap tours in hostel but when u go to book it they say sorry you have to pay more!!

The security is pretty lamentable as there are no locks on the dorm doors or the front door and the reception isn't always tended. The lockers are made of wood and have screwed on flimsy clasps. They have no electric plugs in the rooms so you are forced to charge everything at the reception which is inconvenient to the extreme. Also the reading lights promised on the website are mythical. Showers and toilets are outside across from the dorms, no good in the cold or rain which we had both.

I had a really good stay, all the people that work on the reception are really friendly and always happy, the bonfire is also awesome, and a really good way to get talking to other people in the hostel. I ended up extending my stay for another 3 nights.

It would be of some help to provide for better security of food left in the kitchen, even with food labeled with name and date some was taken by others. Also when travelers are very tired from travel and activity they need to rest and sometimes there is too much noise from music in the hostel late in the evening. You might also consider a bulliton board for guest to list things like offering rides, seeking rides, sharing tours, sharing food and cooking, needing information...etc.

This is a very nice hostel with a nice atmosphere, especially the bonfire at night and the big patio. They make good breafast and the rooms are very clean, you can even cook your own meals in a big kitchen. I definitely would come back again.

The hostel is good itself, but the breakfast is poor: awful coffee, a terrible butter (it is actually an awful margarine), no milk (only a "don´tknowwhat" white powder). It should be much better and wise to have breakfast outside and pay for it.

No es el mejor de San Cristóbal, el aseo lo hacen demasiado tarde pero es un buen lugar para quedarte si tienes pereza de buscar más opciones.

The best hostel i have ever been to! Top location, really clean, friendly stuff. It looks a bit like a hotel because of its nice backyard. Thats why many people were just hanging out even during the day. The atmosphere is just nice. And the best is the fire at night. It was really easy to make friends. Had a great time there.
