Great place to stay in Cochabamba, I kept extending my time here! Even though it wasn't busy there was still a nice social atmosphere. Great breakfast and cosy and clean. Only issue was the WiFi was a bit patchy, but would still recommend.

Good hostel but a bit disappointed. The 1st night we stayed there was a “private party” where someone who wasn’t staying at the hostel had rented the hostel garden and this went on til gone 3 AM (reception said it would only be midnight) and it was extremely loud - hardly slept all night. We also had booked all private room en suite and were put in the smallest room with bunk beds and could hardly get changed in there. The common areas were great though!
