8.7Verified guest“From arrival, the staff were welcoming and shared useful local tips. The hostel's restored house charm is lovely, beds were comfortable, and hot showers were much appreciated. Lockers made it easy to store bags while out exploring. Location was great, a short walk from the centre and close to museums and restaurants. Almost perfect.”
8.7Verified guest“Just two blocks from the main square, this place is easy to get around on foot. Staff are friendly and helpful, arranging excursions and offering currency exchange at a good rate. The hostel is clean, breakfast is ready early (typical for Latin America), and the kitchen is well set up for cooking. Luggage storage available. Great value.”

Budget-friendly, with basic but suitable rooms and beds. Location was perfect, and despite being in the heart of the city, there was no street noise.”
