Best hostel ever!!

That was the best hostel I have ever been to! The host was so hospitable, kind, and sweet-hearted. The hostel was very clean and felt brand new. I especially loved the entrance—it made me feel welcomed right away.

I did a tour on the property last August and loved how clean and quiet it is and in a great location. I didn’t doubt booking and it met all my expectations. The staff is super accommodating and I will certainly will be returning in a few days.

Amazing Hostel

Lovely spot — great location that is walkable to transportation, the central park, several spanish language schools, and many restaurants and little stores; friendly & helpful staff; a large shared kitchen; plenty of common spaces to relax or get work done. Plus they will help organize a number of tours I haven’t been on, but friends of mine really enjoyed. And great value to boot! I’m happy to be staying here and I’ll surely return.

Milagro de Jesús

En recepción se duermen como a las 10 pm y el hotel está cerrado 24/7, si regresas después de esa hora nadie te abrirá, si quieres una llave tienes que dejar $200 de depósito, de ahí en fuera todo excelente.
