“Best place for staying in Cuenca”
Good location. It is not in the center. But it is safe and quiet neighbourhood. There are supermarkets and restaurants nearby. Hostel is really clean. Staff are volunteering and they are really friendly. Lockers are really big. Good internet. Good breakfast. Laundry service. If you do exercises, there is a huge back yard. You can enjoy your time there with physical activities. Hot showers. Volunteers make brownies, cakes, alfajors, cookies. Very tasty. 🤤 if you have a car or a motorbike, there is also a garage

What a weird organisation… The hostel is quite nice, the rooms are confortable and the location is great. But it can be very noisy if your room is close to the bathrooms. However the entrance door… you’re not allowed to keep the keys when you go out. Which means you have to be lucky enough that the receptionist is not taking a pee or wandering around the place, or you’ll have to wait until he notices someone’s at the door. And let’s talk about the checkout… once you’ll be done packing, they lock you in like a criminal until they’ve « checked » your room. I’ve never seen such a thing in my entire life and I’m pretty sure it is illegal. So it is a rather nice place but don’t expect too much.

“Mochiliers Hostel: Where Chaos Rules”
Welcome to Mochiliers Hostel, where keys are just for show. Don't count on getting inside easily, though. Even with someone at reception, you might find yourself stuck outside for what feels like forever, waiting for the door to open. Once you're in, get ready for noise. The wooden floors are so loud, you'll think there's a marching band in the hallway. And forget about sleeping in – the party doesn't stop until dawn, and the early birds start chirping at 5 AM. The kitchen and bathroom have seen better days, with mold making itself at home on the walls and ceilings. And if you're brave enough to shower, get ready for a shock – the water's colder than the Arctic. But the real adventure? Those bunk beds without guardrails. Just hope you don't fall off, and good luck trying to explain your frustrations to the cleaning lady, who couldn't care less. And let's not forget the potential disaster of not having a key. Imagine if there's a fire and you can't get out because you're locked in. It's a nightmare scenario made worse by the hostel's lackadaisical attitude. In short, Mochiliers Hostel is more than just a place to crash – it's a wild ride through chaos and confusion. Hold on tight, folks.
