While the accommodation can be basic and Wi-Fi unreliable, the friendly and accommodating staff often make up for it, creating a memorable experience for those seeking a lively getaway.
"The place is great to party but not to sleep at.
The twelve persons dorms is really basic, no curtains, only one shower in a poor state, the insect nets have holes in them and it's impossible to close the windows at night.
The staff is not really agreable. They never turn off the music before 3am, even if nobody is there to party. They made me pay an extra night because I left my bag (all my stuff was packed) in the dorm till 3PM the day I left. The dorm was empty except for me and I've had already spend 6 nights there, no customer fidelity at all."

"Lewis is such a gentleman. Couldn't have felt more at home since I arrived because of.him. Got in from the bus from cuenca at 4am and was checked into my room free of charge - worth choosing this place alone. Food and vibes are great."
Dermot Gallagher
"Leandro was a smiling and accommodating lad from the moment I walked in, he went out of his way to speak English when my Spanish was bad and was kind enough to let me check in straight away after a very long bus journey from the border. Very happy with the staff at the hostel very accommodating especially after a long journey from the border! Highly recommend"
