Liked: The beds were nice and the staff were very helpful and friendly. They gave me and my friend a map of where all the bus stations were and high-lighted where we needed to go.
Disliked: There was no kitchen available to use and the toilets and showers were really far away from the room we were staying in. You had to cross through the main lobby and the hostel kitchen area before you got to the toilets and showers. Even then the toilet cubicals were incredibly small! If you were a larger lady you would definitly struggle to get in there. In one of them you have to sit sideways as otherwise my knees were touching the wall!

Liked: Comfortable dorm beds.....lovely lounge area, staff fine.....decent downtown location.....however....
Disliked: Room 101, the 6 bed dorm which I stayed in is rather noisy, as it fronts onto the busy Paseo Colon....and the toilets and showers are quite a way from the room.... Also, the hotel is keen to flaunt its eco credentials....but it's a bridge too far for me when the automatic light in the toilet block only stays on for maybe 20 seconds at most, leaving you in the dark in the" wee room"....and the taps stay on for even less time...insufficient for a decent hand wash. Not a huge deal in the great scheme of things, more of a minor irritation, I suppose. Overall, I would rate this hostel as a 7/10 .

Liked: This is by far the most beautiful hostel I have ever stayed in. I cannot recommend it enough. After traveling for 3 months, this place was the perfect spot for some R and R and to feel a little less travel grubby. It has all of the benefits of a luxary hotel, but the price of a hostel. Great location, people are friendly and definitely worth a stay!
Disliked: Nothing! Well, actually, there was a little confusion with the breakfast. The menu in the restaurant is different from what is actually provided with the hostel breakfast, and when you sign up for the hostel breakfast that should be made clear. But otherwise, all was great.
