I truly hope that the owner of the hostel reads this. I stayed for a total of five nights, a few additional nights after my original booking. It’s totally unacceptable to only have working showers for about 1/10 of the day. They do not have water for showering for the vast majority of the time. And when they do have water, it’s usually not hot water, it’s room temperature. I know that it’s a new hostel and they’re still working out the kinks but this would not be hard to fix.

This might be my coolest hostel experience yet. I was the sole guest because they had just opened, but I think it would still be enjoyable if the place was packed. The decor was incredible. The court yard in the middle was so pretty. Hostels often look better in pictures, but this was the complete opposite. I sat for hours in the social room because it was so gorgeous. Alfredo, Sebastian, and Joyce were also very attentive and accommodating. No complaints

Lovely hostel in a gorgeous historical building. Very convenient location in the historic district. The rooms are very unique, big with extremely tall ceiling. The staff were great as well.
