About

El Pueblito offers comfortable lodging with a large kitchen and a beautiful patio. Our service makes the difference because with us you will feel at home. We offer all types of tours and a personalized service. The owner, Sergio Castro, has opened three other hostels and is a charismatic, fun, and very personable host. We have a large bar, with a chill atmosphere and a barbeque pit, if you feel like relaxing and meeting people after a long day. Sports are one of our favourite pastimes, and we have a lounge where you can catch up with your favourite team.

We are located two miles from the city center, in a safe neighbourhood, with a little market only blocks away. Cochabamba is a small city, so everything is close by. One of the most underrated tourist attractions is a neighbourhood called El Pueblito, where you can have that old Cochabamba feeling. The bicycle path runs right next to the hostel, so if you like cycling you can tour the city safely. We cater to backpackers and young couples who would rather spend their money trekking, visiting other towns, eating out, or checking out Cochabamba´s nightlife.

Our hostel has a quaint, small-town feeling. Our décor is inspired by old, rustic Haciendas. We take pride in keeping everything clean. The patio is a great place to chill out, and we have a balcony, where you can watch the wheel go by. Our specialty is providing the best advice and the best prices. We´ll treat you as if you were family.

Loved my stay here. Owner was lovely and chatty, showed me a route I could run. Slightly out of the centre but I didn’t mind the walk. Kitchen was homely and lots of utensils. Nice outdoor space and lovely car round the corner.

Sergio is a fantastic host. This place feels so homely and is one of my favourite hostels of my trip. He gives many great tips and is very knowledgeable. Breakfast was great. The only downsides was the location is quite a walk from the main attractions however it is a beautiful city to stroll around. Also the shower was very cold however that’s personal preference.
