For me Iguana Azul was the perfect hostel! Very clean, spacious outdoor bathrooms, bars of soap, hot showers. Area for hand washing clothes and plenty of hanging space. No kitchen, but a fridge and food available in the cafe. Quiet spot, good sleeps!

Amazing hostel. Everything is clean, the rooms are spacious (no curtains though) and the hostel is really good located. The neighbouring cafe is great aswell and the staff was really nice. Pretty easy to socialise aswell.

One of the best hostels i've stayed in. The staff are so friendly and helpful. The facilites are great but the only reason it's not a 10/10 is due to there being no kitchen.
