I had a great time at Pension Bicuar, very cleaned room and shared spaces. I had the sink and shower in my room, which is very convenient. Toilets were always cleaned. The terrace… amazing, plenty of space for everyone. Great if you want to have your meals outside with a view. The staff was very nice and the general atmosphere was perfect. The vibe is relax and cozy.

What made our stay amazing at the hostel was the staff. They were so welcoming and gave such great advice. Also knowing that in the morning, there was coffee or tea and a really clean kitchen to prepare for our day meant the world to us. We would strongly recommend this hostel experience.

I can't fault this hostel at all. I added an extra night to my booking and they were so accommodating. I had to move rooms after the 1st night due to that being the extra night. I packed everything up and they moved it all for me. you are able to drop your bags off early and again my bag was when waiting in my room when I was able to check in. Staff were friendly and great.
