This location is unbeatable only one block from the main street with tour operators, restaurants and cafes. We had a basic private room with private bathroom. The shower is hot and the room is confortably warm. The Wifi was strong in the reception area. I had some important work video meetings so the family allowed me to use a faster, reliable internet connection in my room because it was further from the reception area. They also graciously allowed us to use the kitchen working around their schedule. This hostel is good value for the price. It’s simple but the hosts are incredibly kind. They helped with taxis, recharging our Claro sim card and providing info.
