We had an amazing time in this hostel 😊 we stayed for three weeks and felt very supported and at home with the staff and the hostel itself. I would 100 percent recommend staying here especially if you are looking for a peaceful stay with welcoming and down to earth people.

Had a great stay at this hostel. The staff are very friendly and helpful It has a nice homey feel to it and family run. You are directly across from a Soriana (Large grocery store) making it easy to pick up food and supplies or cheap meals. You are on one of the main roads making public transport or Ubers easy The only slight knock is that you are a bit away from the Malecon 15–20-minute walk Highly recommend if you want a relaxing safe trip. But would book further south if you want to party
