“Needs more security and privacy”
The location is good being between the airport and the romantic zone. There is a bus stop right outside the hostel and a beach close by. The staff are very helpful and made sure i could get in when I arrived later than I planned. Also, they kindly resolved an issue with my card payment. The outside kitchen and terrace is good, though the WiFi didn't work well for me out there. The bed was very comfortable.

“Great Hostel and host”
The host Annia is incredible. She is so lovely and kind. She genuinely tries her best to accommodate everyone. The location is great and close to everything. I like that it is quieter than the romantica zone but close enough. They have a sweat lodge trip every Sunday. It is a great experience and I highly recommend you go if you are in Puerto Vallarta.

“Budget friendly hostel if you don’t mind the noice from the street.”
Cozy hostel where you can connect easily with other guests. You can get the bus just outside for the airport.

“Superb”
Wonderful staff, it feels like home. Very comfortable mattresses, clean space, very cozy terrace where you can eat or chill. Very good location as well, easily reached by bus from the airport (just don’t rely on Google maps, get off at Soriana hyper market across the street!). It’s so walkable you can easily get to downtown on foot as well. Overall fantastic experience!!!
