this hostal is great! spacious common areas with 2 terraces and a pool area. the dorms had good storage for the bags, big beds and curtains! we had a 10 people dorm but it felt as 4 because it was so spacious. probably the cleanest hostel I’ve been to! the bus stops just 300m from the hostel and also the metro is not far away!

We liked everything. The guy working there and taking care of everything is super nice. We were in a private room and it was big and clean. Bed is comfy. Kitchen has everything you need. Location is also very good, in a safe area and super close to a big supermarket.

We stayed for a bit more than a week in one of the double rooms and we felt very comfortable for the whole duration. The room was well equipped with bed side tables, small shelf and possibility to hang stuff. The bed was very comfortable and the AC worked well. The staff were very friendly and we were surprised how dedicated they were in keeping the place clean all the time. Also we liked the cute dogs and cats that lived on the property. Furthermore we liked the many possibilities to hang out, like in the garden, multiple tables and a working area. Also there is a ping pong table which was great fun.

The staff were really helpful and friendly. The location is really quite close to the aiport as well as some great facilities. The room was very comfortable, honestly the bwd was so comfy, I slept as well here (if not better) than in some much more up-marked hotels. It was a real plus point for me. The room is basic but it literally has everything you need and the whole place has a cheerful vibe about it. On the basis of this stay, for the price....it's an exceptional find and I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very clean, good location, very comfortable rooms if you get the room with the balcony or the queen room, which has a fridge and a kitchenette (me and my friend got one each). All utilities work well. They stored our luggage for several hours after check-out. All in all a very good experience when we booked these rooms and had the fridge and the private balcony between us.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
