A nice place for backpackers
A really nice place out of noise but also right in the main road. While we were here we experienced some difficulties, however we decided to hope that we were just unlucky. First of all, if the directions have not been corrected it can be pretty hard to find the place. If you just go for the salsa studio called Timbal on street 3 and then turn right on the road directly after Timbal and before Prima Luna, go to the end and the Hostel will be there. Also, they hadn’t seen our reservation and we had to wait a bit for them to make the room (however we did book it just the night before), but the sweet lady on whatsapp is very fast at answering and very nice and problemsolving even though we sometimes got a bit confused in what she was trying to say. She helped as soon as possible both times the water “went out” - she can also help you book stuff to do if you want to. They have two nice common areas, one near the kitchen with chairs and tables and stuff and one with hammocks and books - not the cleanest but did the job and the wifi was good at both the spaces. Other than that, we believe we were here in the off season as there weren’t many turists anywhere, this meant that we got the whole place to ourselves, but also that we couldn’t use the kitchen and stuff was a bit dusty and dirty when we got there.
