10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed my stay
I was very impressed with my stay here. As an American who speaks little Spanish, the fact that there was always a core group of English-speakers with whom I could speak with around the kitchen and living room areas made my stay very “easy” and pleasurable. Many nice amenities here besides, including a regularly available fitness area with classes taught upstairs — and downstairs a patio with espresso coffee, a restaurant and live music on some evenings. A bright spot to hang out for a while in a small, charming seaside town.

Friendliest Hostel ever!
I love staying in Hostels and this was the best experience I have ever enjoyed. I had a private room and so had the luxury of an AC unit but rarely needed to turn it on. The Dorm rooms were all equipped with fans. The shared kitchen had everything you could need in the way of cooking utensils. I shared many a great meal with other guests. The staff there was so helpful and accommodating. Ruben even found a yoga mat for me to use and cleaned it for me. Aruna, the owner was so gracious and welcoming. She had run this Hostel for some 30 or 40 years and was beloved by everyone in the town. There was a beautiful studio upstairs that offered Yoga classes, Tai Chi, Salsa Lessons and many other community events so you could stay entertained without leaving the Hostel. There was also an Italian restaurant attached with the best Pizza I've ever had. They even roasted and ground their own coffee right on the premises, so it was a popular coffee spot in the morning. It felt like home because of the amazing staff there. I have already rebooked for a month next year!

Great hostel close to bus stop and just six blocks to Marina and town square. Well organized with each room having a shelf space in kitchen. Entire place is open and spacious. Private and Shared rooms. My private room was double bed with AC and a fan. Never needed the AC. Ability to do wash and hang clothes if needed. Quiet and safe. Great pizzeria in garden area for evening meal. Beer, wine and limited spirits available. Fantastic gift shop that should be visited even if not staying here. Definitely will come again if in town.
