Nopalero Hostel

We had the best stay at Nopalero hostel, the kindest staff and volunteers! Lovely kitchen and lots of cool spaces and hang out spots, 10/10 recommend :))

Very friendly welcome form a female volunteer who was behaving like Brits. Professional and open-minded. To my surprise she was French, not German. The Canadian male volunteer was kind as well. However there was a group of French staying there. I left France and a job that was generating +10 thousand euros a month to be far from French closed culture and suspicious French people. This group attitude at the hostel reminded me of why I left.

I advise people to avoid this hostel. Was recommended by a friend who previously stayed here however new owners took over recently who treat the place like a family home that you’re not a part of , rather than a hostel. Incredibly exclusionary, clique staff and generally just a weird vibe. The place is 90% volunteers and barely any guests. It’s not just unfriendly, it’s as though the people there go out of their way to ignore you - you are made to feel like an inconvenience just being there. Everyone in my
