Super basic accomodation, but for the price does the job (you also have a breakfast included). The owner is very kind and allows you to leave the luggage for no extra price if u go to the tours or sleeping on the islands.

Giovanni is a great host and even let me wait in the hostel for my nightbus when I came back for my stored luggage. The hostel is really clean and there is a big, well equipped kitchen.

Clean, spacious hostel with little kitchen and lounge area, you can even view the lake. Giovanni is really nice and kept our bags while waiting for our night bus. Close to the Mirador el Condor, the main square and pedestrian street.

The beds were very comfy and I liked how every floor has their own common area. It felt really homy. Giovanni is an amazing host, always available and helping with whatever is needed. Loved my stay here.

“The hostel itself is very clean and has everything you need.”
The real gem of this hostel is Giovanni. He is an incredible person and always willing to help. He suggested that I leave my luggage at the hostel before my one-night experience sleeping on a floating island, which was incredibly thoughtful and helped me a lot. Giovanni, thank you for everything!
