Liked: Quetzal Hostel is by far the best hostel I have ever stayed in.- I have stayed at almost 30 different hostels on my world travels. Monica, and her crew make you feel right at home. I can't say enough good things about her place.

Disliked: The only thing I dislike about this property is that there cannot be another Quetzal Hostel in the country I am headed to next.

Liked: Friendly staff, nice garden and roof terrace. Good and fresh food.

Disliked: We booked a room with private bathroom. The bathroom was not in the room but in the general hallway. Bathroom was not very clean and you need to be very small to be able to sit on the toilet properly. Breakfas and dinner were daily fresh but were a bit small.

Liked: I loved everything about it except for the above mentioned. The people working there are so fun and useful, espcially Monica, the owner! Please, always trust what this woman has to say to you, she is always right no matter what! Go to the places she recommends and do not miss the Coco Bongo!!! The food was pretty good espcially the burritos and the cocktails Monica prepares, I really miss that!!! Jocelyn was very kind and Salvatore was high all the time :))

Disliked: I already mentioned that.

Family Holiday

29 July 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: The meals were very nice.

Disliked: It was not very clean. Sheets were not clean in our room. Rubbish bin in our toilet was half full. Floor of bedroom very dirty. I had to go out and buy cleaning products and use my bed sheet to feel comfortable. You could not cook for yourself in the kitchen as you can in most hostels. Too far from the beach. The staircase was quite dangerous and difficult to negiotiate. You had to get someone to let you out the front door and in the front door. Which was diffuclt when we were leaving with the taxi waiting and a timelimit to get to the airport and we couldn't find anyone to open the door.
