It is a nice place at the end of a narrow street in San Blas so no traffic noise at all. I had a nice room with a comfortable bed and really nice hot water. Wood floor, high ceiling, and nice decorations. And the breakfast is very nice with eggs cooked to order, bread, fruit, cheese, etc. The only issue for me was the exchange rate they use, 3.65 S/USD, which I thought was high.

Honestly is a Hostel with 0 flaws. Breakfast is incredible, everything is perfectly clean and we'll maintained. Staff is really nice. I will leave a perfect score but the only "bad" thing I will say is that it's not a conventional "backpacker" hostal, it is hard to leave at night and coming back everything close and waiting for you to open. it's a really calm and chill place to rest. Still amazing tho. Also, the shower (very important) was amazing.
