Summary of traveller reviews

El Mural Hostel in Tarapoto is praised for its vibrant art and friendly, helpful staff. Guests enjoy the rooftop breakfast with city views and the clean, comfortable rooms, some with fans. It's a great spot for solo travellers looking to meet others. Note that it's a walk or short moto ride from the main plaza.

Wow! I had such a lovely experience staying here. The murals throughout the facility are so beautiful. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast on the rooftop level overlooking the city was just the cherry on top. 10/10 I would definitely come back.
