Ancestral Hostel Barranco

No

Do you believe in time travel? I didn’t—at least not until I checked into this hostel. But after meeting the receptionist, I started to wonder if Marie Antoinette had somehow teleported herself into the 21st century and taken the night shift. The hostel itself is nice… as long as you don’t arrive on an overnight bus. Apparently, doing so risks disturbing Her Majesty’s royal slumber. We waited outside for about 15–20 minutes, and when she finally descended from whatever palace-sized bed she sleeps in—probably the size of ten football fields—she looked at us like we owed her €100,000. While I was checking in, another girl rang the doorbell. The receptionist let out the most dramatic, perfectly timed “shit” I’ve ever heard. Honestly, I thought she was about to launch into a three-minute rap featuring 500 F-words and win a Grammy on the spot. She must be incredibly busy, though. Judging by her attitude, she was multitasking about 100,000 urgent matters while also doing us the immense favor of checking us in. My sincere recommendation? She should quit this job and run for President of Planet Earth. Only a position of that magnitude would truly match her extraordinary sense of superiority.

Limpieza

Local bacana demais, muito seguro e aconchegante, cama grande e confortável, clima agradável nem precisa de ar. Tudo muito limpo sempre, tem uma cafeteria sensacional que é integrada dentro do hostel. Os funcionários do café são nota 10 demais.

O banheiro é meio longe do quarto coletivo, mas próximo dos individuais. Os chuveiros ficam numa área de passagem dos clientes do café / bar, mas nada demais.

The hostel is pretty, big and clean. The bed is comfortable. Hot water is consistent and sufficient for shower. Location is great. There is also cafes in the hostel with good food and good drinks. The whole vibe is great

Staff can be a little bit more helpful for taking luggages.
