Liked: Great staff, great location (if only the sun had come out) on the beach, and a log fire for the winter. Meals served at hostel were good value for money and great food. Staff were helpful with how to get there and whilst there. They were also good to chill out with over a few beers! Music choices good too.

Disliked: Breakfast was slightly less choice than at other hostels.

Liked: This has been the best hostel experience in south america so far. The staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome, the city of Punta is AMAZING, and we met the best people during our stay. After only three days, we were already making plans to meet up with our new friends during the course of our travels.

Disliked: Only word of advice, bring ear plugs... not that the noise was a deterrant, only that sometimes i wanted to sleep before the party ended. Ear plugs did the trick!

Liked: Very clean bathroom; good atmosphere; great place to spend time at the beach - nice and relaxed.

Disliked: Bar was down the road at the other hostel; fridge was jam packed full of old food mainly belonging to staff. The place appeared to be full of staff members rather than actual guests.

18 December 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Breakfast had fruit and it had plenty of common areas.

Disliked: Bed was uncomfortable to the point of having back ache in the morning, I heard that someone had their wallet go missing when we where there, I´m not sure if it was behind reception or not but that wasn´t very good. The kitchen is a bit small too for the amount of guests that try to cook there although it was clean.

07 February 2010 marc would recommend this property

Liked: nice place overall - good party hostel for sure and very clean - some nice staff there v friendly, others a little caught up in their own lives as can happen when you are only there for a short while working i know.. really need to sort that tiny kitchen out - was a major problem when last there - one stove working between large hostel meant long wait times -also a tendency for rotten apples at breakfast needs to be sorted - overall recommended though

29 January 2010 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: Nice hostel, but 8 bed dorms are tiny with no fans or aircon (in the height of summer with 8 people in one room it gets pretty hot), most the safes in the room can't be locked. toliet and shower ratio for the number of people is very low & kitchen is quite small for the size of the hostel. One the plus side the communal areas are nice and the staff are very friendly and helpfull.

Liked: Its modern, safe and clean. That´s the problem. If you´re going to a place like Punta del diabolo you´re expecting a place with character, which fits into this nice little village and that´s not what you´ll find. Instead, it´s all american, from stuff to guests, has its own bar/restaurant near the beach and only a small kitchen with two hot plates at the terrace, which is little in comparison to the number of guests, so you have to go to the restaurant. I can´t recommend this hostel, if you want to feel like in a small fishing village than in an anonymous city.

Liked: We went there right at the start of the tourist season, but there were still quite a few people there ' and lots of staff. It was a very friendly place, the staff were helpfull and they even cooked decent meals in the evenings that were pretty cheap. the rroms were fine, and our private room even had a log fire.
