Best hostel ever!!

That was the best hostel I have ever been to! The host was so hospitable, kind, and sweet-hearted. The hostel was very clean and felt brand new. I especially loved the entrance—it made me feel welcomed right away.

All was good about this place. We could get our room early and leave late according to bus schedules. We could wash our clothes for free. It is close to everything too. We recommend 😀

Amazing Hostel

Lovely spot — great location that is walkable to transportation, the central park, several spanish language schools, and many restaurants and little stores; friendly & helpful staff; a large shared kitchen; plenty of common spaces to relax or get work done. Plus they will help organize a number of tours I haven’t been on, but friends of mine really enjoyed. And great value to boot! I’m happy to be staying here and I’ll surely return.

これまでたくさんの国で様々なドミトリーやホステルに泊まりましたが、ここがこれまでで最高の場所でした。館内は写真の通り綺麗で、清潔。スタッフもとても親切で、フレンドリーです。私は朝4時にチェックアウトしなければならなかったのですが、わざわざその時間に起きて対応してくれました。トイレとシャワーが分かれているのもポイント高いです。5月宿泊でしたが夜は涼しく、エアコンなくても十分でした。

Milagro de Jesús

En recepción se duermen como a las 10 pm y el hotel está cerrado 24/7, si regresas después de esa hora nadie te abrirá, si quieres una llave tienes que dejar $200 de depósito, de ahí en fuera todo excelente.
