Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
As a solo woman traveler safety is always a priority and I felt very safe and comfortable at this hostel. I had some dental work done around the mall de pacifico area and payed less than $2 for Uber to get there. Yes I probably could have walked but the sun was intense. Very convenient, clean, safe and cheap. Would recommend!
I have stayed at this location twice. It is close to hospital and dentist. $2 Uber to mall de pacifico. Try getting a room on 2nd or 3rd floor. The rooms downstairs can be a bit noisy when several people are checking in. Somehow I never saw a breakfast being prepared but had good access to the use of the kitchen. Safe clean and very good price
Mi estadía en el hostal, fue bonita, todo muy limpio, ordenado

La reserva se realizo a traves de la aplicacion ( se pago conn dinero que la aplicacion te da por antiguas reservas y nosotros pagamos la diferencia por una noche) y cuando llegamos al hotel ellos dijeron que no han recibido el monto total y que no nos hacen valido la reserva. Nos dieron el paso a otro hotel que administran ellos tambien y tuvimos que pagar la diferencia ya que por feriado no teniamos otra opcion todo estaba ocupado.
El afirma que ya no trabaja con reservas bajo la aplicacion pero su hotel hasta el dia de hoy sigue en la aplicacion y se puede reservar . Asi que tengan cuidado!-
El precio cobrado al ingresar fue superior al publicado. En más de una ocasión debimos esperar para ingresar o salir pues no había personal alguno del hostal. Nos cobraron un recargo por dejar la maleta luego de la hora de salida.
Excelente servicio, muy buena atención
Totalmente recomendado de visitar

Buena ubicacion. La limpieza debe mejorar, sobre todo en epoca de pandemia, pareciera que no se dan realmente las precauciones de caso, pues no se veia realmente limpia la habitacion. Gran amabilidad del personal. El area de designada para parqueo, quedaba al frente, solo era un terreno vacio donde sejar el vehiculo.

AC needs improvement
The room is fine for one night, but the AC did not cool down the room. Unfortunately didn’t get to try the free breakfast.
The people at the front desk try to be helpful, even though they didn’t know the exact address of the hotel.
