Liked: Gorgeous building. Communal lounge was very nice as well as the outdoor courtyards. Location was prime for visiting the mercado and vego, the park, museums and nightlife.
Disliked: There should be eggs and fruit with breakfast. Storage lockers in room do not fit most locks. Luggage storage is a corridor that is in view and accessible from the street.

Liked: the hostel offers huge rooms and kitchen
Disliked: but the staff is one of the worst we had in travelling 4,5 month southamerica. we told them that our rooms needs to be cleaned and the answer of the staff was that it is not their business and the cleaning lady was not there. in addition did one of our group not come in at night because the staff did not hear him ringing the bell because all of them were partying and drinking in the kitchen. without the creapy staff a really good hostel

Liked: Free dinner.
Disliked: We signed up for our free dinner but when it was time to eat there had been an earlier dinner session that we were not advised on and all the food had been eaten so there was none left. Appalling and will be notifying others about this. Planning for the number of people eating is surely key? Starving hungry at 8.45 we went to find some food in a local restaurant. Shouldn't haven been advertised as free dinner if it was dependent on how many people eating and how much they were eating.

Thanks a lot for your comment. We offer every tuesday a free dinner, in which we want everyone to join us. This isn't a ridiculously small meal or anything alike, usually our guests repeat when possible. Last night the hostel filled from one moment to another and we planned for 2 meals to accommodate everyone. Unfortunately, there was a misunderstanding with our staff and the second meal was served only to a few and not everyone could enjoy it. We are very sorry for it and shouldn't happen again

Liked: Fruit at breakfast, good location. Super friendly staff. Clean bathrooms.
Disliked: The vibe wasn´t great--not too many of the other backpackers were very friendly. It wasn´t very conducive to meeting people. Also, more than 1 computer would have been nice.

Liked: Good location, comfy beds although the bunks are high. Lockers in rooms and rooms descent size. Had a yummy NYE dinner and a fun party. Bathrooms clean and water pressure and heat were good. Breaky is basic but the bread is fresh. Good areas to relax in and the kitchen is well set up.
Disliked: The dorm room is right on the street and can be a bit noisy with the traffic.

Thanks for you review, we have great news since we upgraded all of the windows from the rooms that face the street. We have now sound proof thermopanel windows, that also help keeping the rooms warmer in winter
