“We had a great stay, privacy for a very reasonable price and fresh fruits with delicios banana bread every day!”
The staff was always friendly and helpful, Valter and Alan made us feel at home. We were supposed to stay in the hostel only for a couple of days but ended up extending the stay to 2 weeks.

Breakfast was great! Convenient as you didn’t have to leave to find food when you wake. It included a delicious oatmeal baked treat, The staff member was friendly and as accommodating as he could be for the circumstances. The place was clean & had a great atmosphere.

“Good, clean, safe place to stay in San Pancho”
We had the suite with a nice big comfortable bed and private bathroom. It was lovely! Very clean and quiet. The breakfast was basic… coffee, tea, fruit and cake. The WiFi didn’t in the work, so we had to go to the main common area to work. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the beach. Overall, it’s a great hostel.

“Nice hostel for the Suites, not so much for dorm type”
-We stayed in Classic Suite which is the best room this hostel can offer, and it was a very beautiful room with a balcony, a lot of space, working AC. It was very quiet and we were really comfortable in the room. -The common space is also very nice and clean, there is a friendly cat too <3 -Breakfast was basic fruit and piece of banana bread with some traditional Mexican drinks such as Jamaica and coffee. The shower had very strong water pressure and plenty of hot water, which is not always the case here in Mexico. -We also got to leave our backpacks before and after the stay at the reception, and got to use the toilets, the staff was friendly. -Location of the hostel is convenient to come form the bus, as you don't need to walk far with your stuff, but it's quite far from the beaches.

“Although somewhat noisy at times, this is a sweet spot with a genuinely awesome staff!”
Breakfast was delicious and surprisingly filling! The staff was all very friendly, helpful and responsive. Towels were available from the front desk. The showers and bathrooms were cleaned regularly (daily I think), and the dining / chill area upstairs had great vibes and some lovely spontaneous music while we were there!

“Disappointing”
I did not like this place. Apart from during check in, the staff were disinterested and more or less ignored you. There is nowhere comfortable to sit in the hostel as all the couches and armchairs are broken. The fridge is locked and there are signs around the place saying ‘not for guests’. It was also weirdly dark in the kitchen so had to use my phone light while trying to cook.

Breakfast was tasty Alan and Gustavo in the reception were nice Choosing the bunk bed closed in with the walls made it more intimate and nice. And was good that next to the bed there was extra space to put my stuff.
