Hostal Casa Taisha

Wonderful host Sylvia and very good location

The absolute lack of kitchen equipment …. Four gas rings , a fridge and that’s it

Silvana, The receptionist

Honestly, the stay is just passable

The receptionist is nice but she's often not at the hostel so the check-in and check-out experience is pretty frustrated especially with all the luggages. The room is pretty dark and didn't feel so clean. I moved to this side of town to avoid party noise but there're people playing loud music on the roof till late and there's no sound proof at all. So i moved after only one night...

The front is an open gate where you can hear noise from the ally. My room was the first one so sometimes it was a little noisey but nothig crazy.

Very clean and spacious. We had a private room with private bathroom. Host was very kind and helpful! 1 min walk to the beach and 5 min walk to central Montanita. Slept well in our beds and fans helped us stay cool. Great place for a quieter stay!

None!

The host was extremely nice and the communication with her was very efficient!! The rooms were perfect for us. Without a doubt the best place to stay in Montañita because of the location: very quiet yet located within a few minutes walking to the center! would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

super close to the beach, we were the only people staying at the time and it was so quiet. there are some cats floating around which are really friendly.

only one small fan in the room so wasn’t that cool but we had nice temperature at the time

I am very pleased I chose this place to stay. The host is absolutely wonderful, very helpful lady. She is very responsive and helpful and quickly delivered a second set of keys when i messaged her about my partner and I going in and out at different times, which has improved things for us (travelling together everyday with one set of keys and no phone internet because you are new to the country is tricky!!) Within Montanita.... I am thanking previous reviewers who noted that the location here was great, well away from the party streets but close to everything. Walking through montanita, some streets are pure chaos, so if you want a relaxing stay and arent here to party, its imperative to look for this! Hostal itself, I can confirm this is not a party hostal which is what we were looking for. It's small enough (two floors of rooms) to be quiet and cosy and the communal areas like toilet, kitchen and rest areas never feel congested. It is also the closest hostal to the best amenities in this town and away from the trashy businesses blaring out music. It is a street away from a supermarket, a top rated inexpensive favourite for dinner (La terreta) and also a top rated inexpensive breakfast place is right there (Sweet spot) too and the beach is just down the driveway... It's also clean, the kitchen is very well maintained and the room (triple dorm) is basic but has everything....secure locks, mosquito net, a window, a fan. The room isn't as cosy as some other places (a lamp would go a long way to make it cosier) but the other touches in the hostal make up for it, the rooftop terrace is a good place to hang out, as well as the downstairs hang area. Excellent hostal and I'm glad I read the previous reviews to recommend coming here, it has been good for us.

There is a stain in my sheet but I'm sure it is just a stubborn stain.
