The staff were SUPER helpful and lovely, helping us plan our next day and giving us recommendations of where to go. Hostel had a cozy vibe and the people we met were super friendly! Castro is small, but the hostel was in a good and easy to access location :)

Incredibly welcoming. The owner was particularly helpful with giving recommendations for the area and helping me when I had to change my travel plans. Good vibe in the hostel with a mix of other solo travellers.
