Hostel let us sleep in the TV room after a night bus. Reception staff were super nice and helpful, let us store our bags when we went to ToroToro and let us shower when we came back before we got a night bus. Good location for bars and restaurants.

I'd gotten mugged on the way here from the bus station, and the staff was super helpful and kind with navigating the situation. They have a nice quaint patio area, and their breakfast was filling. Overall enjoyed my experience
