We had a nice booking.com offer for the penthouse and took the chance. It was a great view, the AC works well, Wifi is around 3 MB/s and stable. We enjoyed it very much 🙂

I loved my stay at your place. The only thing I didn't like was the poor attitude of the girl who prepares breakfast. The pancake she made was burnt, thick, and raw. Everything else was good.

Perfect place to stay if you are looking for a cozy hostel with friendly staff and a relaxed vibe. Perfect location in relation to the Spanish school to improve your Spanish, not to mention you have several top surf spots within walking distance! There is a large living room with a bar where you can get drinks. Everyone usually sits here chatting, drinking, watching a movie, playing ping pong or a game of pool. Almost every evening there is something to do in or around the hostel such as Burger night, Taco night and Trivia night. There is a communal kitchen with all amenities and various places where you can relax, such as several hammocks or sofas. The Garden will soon be renovated with, among other things, a volleyball field. There is already a slackline and campfire spot available! And don't forget to cuddle or play with the cutest dog (Lobo) and sweetest cat (Venus)!

Having stayed in hostels across the globe, I can confidently say this one is the absolute best. If you appreciate a vibrant atmosphere, great music, delicious food, and genuinely friendly staff, this place is second to none. Although it's located just 10 minutes outside of town, the convenience of 10 daily shuttles ensures you're always well-connected, making your stay in San Juan as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I'm truly astonished by the exceptional quality offered at such an affordable price.

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.
