I can’t recommend this place enough. While I was there, I lost my ATM card and Roberto moved mountains to help me try and get it back. The place is super cool with a great vibe and always good music playing. Great location and I was given all the information there I needed to enjoy the city. My private room had TWO towels to use too! Like what am I a queen?! 10 out of 10. Thanks so much Roberto!!!

Roberto and Lila are the warmest hosts I’ve ever come across going above and beyond to make you feel welcome at their incredibly cute hostel they have built over the last 26 years. I’ve planned to stay only for one night but immediately felt the urge to book another few. Highly recommended place also going off of all the nice messages people have written on the walls over all these years.

Quite a few issues with the owner here. I woke up in middle of the night when he was drinking with another guest screaming America! It was clear the other guest didn’t like America. I didn’t think it was appropriate to be yelling anti American chants loud enough to wake up guests. He had told me he would turn on the gas to cool breakfast but didn’t and I text him which he didn’t wake up like he said he would. The water didn’t work in morning. He moved my stuff from one bedroom to another.
