"Durchwachsen und habe das Hostel gewechselt"

6.0

Mein privates Zimmer mit eigenem Bad war schön eingerichtet und ruhig gelegen. Die privaten Zimmer sind getrennt vom Hauptgebäude in einem eigenen Haus. Sehr gute Lage im Zentrum.

Es gab leider viel zu viele Geschichten über Bettwanzen und das Personal hat abgestritten, dass es diese weiterhin gibt. Es soll vor allem der Dorm 5 betroffen sein und dies ein Problem seit mehreren Monaten sein. Ich würde nicht die Halbpension empfehlen. Das Abendessen war nicht lecker und die vegetarische Portion kleiner als die mit Fleisch. Das Frühstück war okay. Mein Raum war leider super kalt und als ich gefragt habe, ob die Klimaanlage abgeschaltet werden kann, wurde mir mitgeteilt, dass es keine gäbe. Trotzdem habe ich dauerhaft kalten Wind ins Zimmer geblasen bekommen von der „Lüftung“.

"My fav hostel in San Cristóbal!"

10.0

This is my second time staying here, and I’d come back in a heartbeat. The hostel is in a great location, the rooms are spacious, and the beds are comfortable. There are activities every day. It’s easy to meet people and make new friends.

I would recommend fixing the patio roof, since the chairs are always wet at dinner time and there’s nothing to dry them with. It’s essential to have a mop in the upstairs bathroom, because people don’t close the shower curtains and there’s almost always a "river".
