Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    The location was awesome, beautiful & peaceful, we had a car so was 10 mins drive to Castro, which was busy, glad we could escape at night. Loved watching the birds both in the morning and then coming home at dusk. Air con worked well & bed was comfy. Room wasnt big but was far from small, never heard neighbours through walls & was clean. Owner was super nice, cheerful with a pleasant temperament & smile, spoke good English and was more than willing to assist. The place is more than safe 🥰

    It was a best hostel I stayed in so far. My bed had a great mattress and bedding was of hotel's standard. The host was very friendly and helpful in all aspects of my stay. Common area is nicely decorated and a good place to meet other guests.

    Great little hostel, with nice common area. Friendly staff and volunteers, and as the dorm I booked was taken, they gave me a private room, so very happy with this (most places would just decline your stay or ask you to pay a higher price). Location good and fairly central, just a moments walk from the coast and the Castro church

    The hostel is placed in a wonderful part of the city, a bay with all these palafitos. The hostel has a kitchen that you can use to prepare your meals and a wonderful terrace just outside the kitchen and few meters above sea level.
