    This hostel is a hidden gem, nestled in a peaceful neighborhood close to the ocean. With a lovely sea breeze, it's the perfect spot to relax. the staff is absolutely wonderful and goes above and beyond to help. the sitting area at the entrance is super nice, providing a comfortable place to unwind. the large and updated bathroom is a great feature, along with the effective air conditioning that ensures a good night's sleep. the property offers plenty of space to lounge and work, and the pool is a refreshing asset.

    Limited options due to ongoing construction.

    I stayed at this awesome hostel in a safe area with great facilities and friendly staff. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had firm mattresses, which I really liked. The location was convenient, with modern shopping centers and restaurants just a short Uber ride away. The hostel had a nice kitchen and even offered breakfast with fruits and eggs. it felt like a home away from home.

    I had an amazing stay at this hostel. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and welcome. I was sick when I arrived and they took great care of me, even going out to get me food and setting up a quiet room for me. The breakfast served in the living room was a highlight, with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. The location of the hostel was also a plus, close to the ocean and within walking distance of amenities like supermarkets and restaurants. I had a wonderful experience and would highly recommend this hostel.

    The pool was empty during my stay, so I didn't get to enjoy it. Additionally, the hostel is located a bit far from the city center, which means prices can be slightly higher.
