Summary: Not good. I noticed that they had photos of the bathroom for every room... but mine (I think) it didn't. When I arrived... I understood why.
The shower is above the toilet bowl (latrine). Yes. So OF COURSE the whole bathroom gets wet and there's no room for anything. Also, knowing that, they could easily put some organization in the bathroom so your stuff wouldn't get wet as well, but no... the only place to put anything is on the sink.
So to me, that's not what I expect. There's A LOT of places that are better for the same price that are just 5 minutes further from the airport.

Summary: I liked how nice and safe the neighborhood was plus close to the airport. I wasn’t able to join, but I also really liked that there were activities like yoga and Spanish lessons offered.
I wish there was a stronger wifi signal to reach my room and that there was a fan or window to ventilate the bathroom.

Summary: Very nice staff. That’s the biggest thing for me is that the staff is very kind and helpful and responsive. This is very much a “hostel experience” where there’s a lot of people coming and going and a hot shower may or may not be possible and the showers have a tendency to puddle. But the facilities are kept clean and the biggest thing in my opinion is how good the staff is.

Summary: Charming and very helpful staff and a bedroom that met all my needs. It’s also in a perfect location for tourists and close to a subway and bus lines

Summary: The hostel is in a very convenient location, right by Arcos, an outlet shopping mall. It’s not the nicest hostel, it’s not the worst hostel. Somewhere in the middle. Everything is rather outdated, but it serves its purpose.
