J avais pris une chambre double privée.
Malheurs ement il y avait beaucoup d insectes, j ai mal dormi et je me suis réveillée avec une multitudes de piqures d insectes sur les bras.
Mon ami a gardé les couverture sur sa tête toute la nuit pour éviter d être pique!

Very nice accomodations, and friendly guests , roomates, and clientell.
However problems with phone and getting phone messages. My contact phoned for me several times , and my name was yelled and the phone set down, when I asked if I had any calls, they said none. Therefore I was unable to connect with the person I was going to spend my first day there and was to drive me to San Isidro, and had to take the bus instead. Was very disapointed and stayed inanother Hostel Toruma ,when I returned where I didn't have this problem

Nice hostel and not too expencive. Airport pickup was more expencive then when you take care of it yourself so no plusses there.

Rooms were good and the bathroom too. I was there in lowseason and so it was kinda slow atmosphere maybey its nicer in highseason

Nice pool, rooms were typical of a tropical area, old. musty, etc.. but appeared to be clean. Kitchen area for use, and a cafe where you could buy meals. 10 minute walk from downtown action. Most places are walled in and have barbed wire for safety, and so did this place. Staff was good, and it was a fun place, lots of partying.

In general it is a good place for stay, but requires a little more cleaning especially in the bathrooms and toilets.
