Reviews of El Viajero Manantiales Hostel

08 February 2011

Liked: The place was clean. Plenty of places to relax. The beach is nice.

Disliked: Price gouging defined. I can understand no outside alcohol policies, but their drink prices are completely unreasonable. The most expensive beer I have encountered in South America. Their food nights are also overpriced. Kills all the potential this place has to be a decent hostel. Do not recommend. Room price was also not as advertised on hostelbookers.

Liked: The staff was very friendly and helpful. Beer at the bar was cheap and it was in a pretty good location. I guess it's ok if you're really young and/or don't have the money to travel but I thought it was expensive for what you get.

Disliked: There were 3 bathroom and showers for like 40 people--gross. Bathroom and bedrooms were small. You can rent a dingy towel for 50 pesos a week. There is no A/C, just a fan and there are no adapters for American electronics. I guess the pl

Liked: Great breakfast, really good wifi.

Disliked: A long way from the centre - good for us as we just wanted to chill out at the beach, but wouldn´t recommend if you want to see the centre. It´s only 20 mins on the bus but feels like a long way away! Staff are pretty unfriendly.

01 December 2008 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: A bit remote, but I can imagine that this would be a good thing during the high season...The staff is great, very friendly. Lots of open, communal space. Pool side bar?? What more do you want? Honestly one of the best hostel experiences I´ve had. I could happily stay another week (and it´s been raining!)

Liked: Nothing. It is not convenient to get to the hostel, it's much farther away than 20 minutes. Second, the beers are lukewarm. Third, the breakfast...there is no breakfast unless you like stale prison food.
