inaccurate boardnon-functional ac
The activity board was inaccurate. i tried to book sports events advertised as daily, but i was told there would be none until february. the ac in my room didn't work the first night. the power went out completely for almost three hours the second night. I found this frustrating and inconvenient. on my third night, the restaurant wasn't serving food. It was odd for a tuesday.

amazing hostel experience!

cute staffgreat atmospherefantastic atmospherebathroom door
I found the staff very cute. They accommodated my needs. the many activities helped people to connect. i plan to book again if i am ever in town. they also have locations all over south america, offering the same fantastic atmosphere for meeting new people.
The bathroom door in our room did not close properly. It was awkward to use the toilet. also, the shower lacked privacy. this made the double room better suited for couples than friends.

Fantastic Stay with Great Activities!

spacious roomawesome areadaily activityinaccurate board
I stayed in a spacious private room that included double wardrobes. This allowed me to keep everything organized. The common areas were awesome with a functional bar, pool, and ping pong table. The organized activities every day helped me meet new people and discover new friends. The staff was super lovely. They were always available to assist with any questions.
The weekly activity board was not updated correctly. I expected daily sports events, but they were not available. I found this to be very inconvenient. The information should be current to avoid such disappointments.
