Really friendly staff and a really nice place. Good facilities and you can book all your activities through the hostel for good prices. We did the rafting, canyoning and hired bicycles to cycle the waterfalls route and all were great. Breakfast was excellent - really good quality, varied, and set us up so well for the day (much more nutritious than normal hostel breakfasts). Love the homemade kefir! Worth the 10 ish minutes walk uphill from the town centre!

Excelente desayuno, limpieza impecable, personal muy atento y la internet funciona perfectamente para trabajar online! Los pocos incovenientes que tuve fueron resueltos sin demora. El hostal está a unos 10 minutos caminando del centro, lo que le da un ambiente más tranquilo y algo menos social. Agradecimiento especial a la chica encargada del desayuno y de la limpieza los primeros días de mi estancia, siempre sonriente de buena onda, amable y muy servicial!

Staff were really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great and there were nice shared spaces. Unfortunately there wasn’t any hot water and no one around to ask when we were getting showers but I think they turned it on after we told them, but we had already showered at this point. The bed sheets had some hair and blood on the first night - but still seems washed, just maybe the washing machine had been too full. The second night everything was much fresher so I’m sure it was a one off.
