Cozy and economical structure for those who have to stay for a month as I did. Obviously you have to know how to adapt to sharing environments, but I had a great time. The staff very kind and helpful.

Bed was so comfortable with two thick pillows, you also get a big towel. Staff were friendly and helpful. Hostel looked amazing, big kitchen with everything you need and really nice spaces to chill near a fireplace. But most of all it was CLEAN! Always saw someone cleaning something, even at 9pm. Location very convenient, I just personally didn’t really like Santa Monica.

The property is nice and beautiful, I am surprised that someone wrote bad reviews about how it looks. It is antique, classic and very eclectic. Interesting decoration which I loved! It is clean, room and bed are comfortable. I would love to come back and stay in the top room in the next building, it looks magical ❤️

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    This is by far the best hostel I've ever stayed. It's so clean, friendly and cosy and you can tell the staff take great pride in it. If you're looking for a quiet place in a great location look no further. I'd like to thank Pedro, Bea and all the staff who made my stay so memorable. Everyone was so friendly, cheerful and always willing to help. They made my stay so enjoyable and I can't thank them enough. Already looking forward to my next stay! :-)

    Great location, spacious room and big lockers, spacious bathroom and pretty clean, good breakfast, nice common areas, a lot of activities (I didn't participate but it is a nice option especially when travelling solo). They even provided towels (which is not often the case in hostels). With the reception and the key cards it also felt very safe!
