Not really a hostel per se, more a spare bedroom in someone’s house. Private room en suite was a dorm room for 4. Nice people, plenty of cats(4 or 5) and dogs (1). Quiet street, handy to bars and restaurants, about 14 blocks from the malecon. Old beds, stained and lumpy, old misfitted sheets, good wifi, good water pressure.

The hostel is definitely an incredible experience to live the pre-carnival and carnival season, meet many people and get to rest on a good mattress while you surf the internet with good WiFi and with your cell phone connected to the personal socket on the bed, if you need to check your things your bed has an independent light so as not to disturb others, the garden is large and beautiful, the terrace is ideal to welcome the morning, it has a comfortable and spacious bathroom area. I will return

Isn’t a hostel, more like someone is renting their rooms. The owner is very friendly.
