Liked: This was a really quiet hostel, which was a nice change after Wild Rover in La Paz and Loki in Cusco. It has free internet (computers and wifi available), and the staff are very welcoming. The best included breakfast I´ve had in a month travelling Peru and Bolivia.

Disliked: The large dorm was cold, although additional bedding was provided. The showers were cold, despite the owner assuring us there would be hot water. The rate went up after the first night which I had booked through hostel bookers. Still good value however.

Liked: This was a cute an clean hostel, but if you stay in the dorm room there arent any curtains and no key to the door so there isnt much privacy. But there are lockrs to lock your valuables so it isnt the end of the world. I would still recommend it!

Disliked: Customer left no negative feedback.

24 December 2009 Peter would recommend this property

Liked: The breakfast was really good, although wasn't always served on time which was a minor problem when leaving early in the morning. And also there were two days where there was no more bread or jam before breakfast ended and they didn't get more and just considered breakfast over. The computers are only available to use until 10:00. They only have two bathrooms which can lead to a little bit of a wait. They have a nice little terrace and a good movie room. One night coming back only at 11:00 we had to wait over 10 minutes for them to answer the door, which involved pounding heavily on the door in addition to ringing the buzzer.

Disliked: Peter left no negative feedback.

Liked: The service was excellent--to start, they met us at 1:30 in the morning, and then they provided us with an excellent doctor service when we needed it. They also provided us with phone service and were extremely attentive. Beds are very comfortable and warm, and breakfast was delicious.

Disliked: Cecelia left no negative feedback.
