Guest Reviews

• Mor (8/5): המארחים היו מעולים, החדר היה סך הכל טוב מאוד - יש פרטיות, המארחים מאוד נחמדים ועוזרים, הוסטל סך הכל באמת טוב מאוד. היו רעשים מוזרים מדי פעם של תיקונים, וההוסטל מעט רחוק מהרחוב הראשי, בעיירה כל כך קטנה המיקום הוא קריטי, המים החמים לעיתים הולכים ובאים, כלומר לא תמיד מגיעים
• Coello (10/5): -
• Ela Siemiątkowska (8/5): - Uprzejmość gospodarzy to największa zaleta. Cena znakomita. Czysto. Obok hostelu jest mały sklepik z napojami. Do plaży idzie się kilkanaście minut, a po drodze można kupić empanade i kawę. Hostel nie jest zbyt blisko życia nocnego, ale w mieście jeżdżą tuktuki, więc jest ok. Nie było klimatyzacji tylko wiatrak, mi to nie przeszkadzało.
• Lauri (9/5): -
• Mylene (7/5): Établissement adapté pour une famille de 5 personnes - Propriétaires agréables et attentionnés. Moins de 10 minutes à pied de la plage. La chambre permettait de dormir à 5. Une cuisine commune à disposition. Puerto Lopez permet d'accéder à une excursion sur l'île de la Plata où se trouve divers des animaux (oiseaux, tortues,...) et y faire du snorkeling Rien de spécial concernant l'établissement. En revanche, très surpris et déçu de voir autant de déchets plastiques sur les plages de Puerto Lopez 😱
• Alnoor (10/5): -
• Massimo (8/5): -
• Odaly (9/5): All in all, staying at hostal Alcazaba is good value for money for a big family. - The staff is very friendly and helpful. The lady in charge did all she could to make us feel at home. You get a wonderful view from the terrace right outside your room or from the terrace on the third floor. You get to use the kitchen which is very handy if you are on a budget. You get to exercise a bit walking to the beach and restaurants. Nights are peaceful and quiet so you have a good night's sleep. These are just suggestions to make the visitor's stay more comfortable, add a chair or small bedside table. We were four people sharing the bathroom, we definitely needed some shelves to leave our toothbrushes and toothpaste somewhere.
• Yael (10/5): -
• Anna (10/5): Incroyable ! - Nous avons passé un super séjour chez Oswaldo et Maria. La chambre était bien, propre avec peu de bruits. La cuisine était très bien. Et surtout… l’accueil des hôtes était excellent. Un grand merci à eux pour leur aide, nous avoir enseigné un peu d’espagnol, leur petit déjeuné copieux… Je ne peux que les recommander !😁
• Lucas (9/5): Cosy place in Puerto Lopez - The hostel was in very good condition, room was clean & the bathroom as well. The staff is really really kind, lovely people! The location is a bit far from the center but you can walk there or take a moto-taxi, but the view on the ocean was great, we even saw some whales from the balcony. All good.
• Simon (10/5): - Personal total hilfsbereit, locker und freundlich. Gutes Frühstück, warme Dusche
• Isabella (8/5): Decent hostel - Staff were super helpful (even with my limited Spanish) and booked me a whale watching tour which was incredible. Breakfast was decent (coffee with toast and egg) and the kitchen was small but functional It is a bit out of town (about a 20 minute walk) but tuktuk’s are super cheap so that wasn’t much of an issue. It was also a bit loud at night and there were quite a few dogs barking at night and in the early hours of the morning
• Lorenzo (10/5): - Ottima colazione e la signora super accogliente! Doccia
• Felix (10/5): -
• Moica (10/5): -
• Santiago (8/5): - La amabilidad del personal La mala conexión de internet, ya que no existe muy buena señal móvil el internet tampoco es bueno
• Tova (10/5): Amazing stay with such kind people! - Maria & Osvaldo immediately welcomed me in with kindness and helped me book a whale watching tour for the following day. The place is very clean with comfortable beds, pillows and hot water in the shower. It’s in a good location with a view of the wate, just a ten minute walk from the town. There are also plenty of moto taxis nearby to go wherever you need if you don’t want to walk. Their place is very secure, always locked but they open up quickly when you return. The breakfast is simple but good, one egg with toast, juice or fruit, coffee or tea. There is also a communal kitchen. Most importantly, when I got really sea sick from the tour to Isla de la plata, I asked Maria for water and toast and she kindly made me hot tea, toast and lovingly sat with me until I began to feel better. Her and her husband are really good, kind people and I highly recommend staying here when in Puerto Lopez. Osvaldo has great sense of humor :) They also offer laundry service if you need. You can also communicate with them directly via WhatsApp which is helpful.
• xavier (10/5): - un excelente servicio
• Stephanie (7/5): Good - Breakfast was nice Location is uphill in a quiet neighborhood
• Peter (9/5): Superb -
• Ariel (9/5): Superb - Nice room, no AC though. Far from the pier (a good 30 min walk). Full of bugs although that's probably the same for all the hotels in the area. Dirt road that gets muddy if it rains.
• József (10/5): Exceptional -
• Michelle (10/5): - Owners were very friendly and helpful. This is a family friendly hostal with no partying, drinking, loud music. Made it easy to sleep. Rooms are basic, no AC, no hot water but private bathroom in our room. Bedroom could use fresh coat of paint but everything was clean. For the price it was a great value. Without a car it is likely further from the beach than easily accessible. We had our own car so it was a short drive. We would definitely recommend this hostal.
• William (8/5): Very good -
• Geneviève (10/5): - Oswaldo and Maria are exceptionnal and helpful!
• Bernardo (9/5): Great place to stay in Puerto Lopez - The best about the hostel is the staff. Maria and Osvaldo are such a nice couple, very attentive, helpful and friendly. Puerto Lopez is very safe to walk, and so, despite not being quite in the center, Alcazaba was close to it, in a quiet part of town, and easy to reach walking or by moto-taxi (-1$). We felt at home. At first we were staying one night and ended up staying almost a week. There is also a small kitchen we could use, a refrigerator and potable water.
• Oliver (10/5): Exceptional - Lovely hosts, beautiful view from the rooftop with many hammocks available. Nice and tidy rooms. 5-10 minute walk to the beach. Good breakfast available. Wonderful stay!
• Patrick (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevin (8/5): Very good -
• Jord (9/5): Superb - Staff/owners are so sweet and helpfull
• Moore (10/5): Exceptional -
• Kevan (8/5): Very good -
• Oleksandr (8/5): Very good -
• Bouju (10/5): Exceptional - Very good Hostel, very clean with a very nice view and Maria is very nice ! She does her maximum for you to feel at home :)
• Joseph (8/5): Very good -
• Korpal (9/5): Superb - Very helpfull staff, nice rooms.
• Erik (8/5): - Very fruendly staff!
• Kira (10/5): Exceptional - They were the most amazing hosts, letting me in my room at like 6 in the morning as my bus arrived so early. Never stayed in a cleaner Hostel! Definitely recommend it ☺️ -
• Manon (8/5): Stealthy but pleasant passage - Very warm and welcoming staff, who try to communicate despite my lack of Spanish language skills
• Remco (7/5): Decent place to stay in Puerto Lopez - Very nice owners, and convenient place to stay in Puerto Lopez. It is a little further from the harbour but it is still doable to walk or take a tuc tuc The dogs in the neighbourhood barking at night
• Frank (10/5): Exceptional -
• Ines (7/5): Good - Basic accommodation. We don't like the area and Puerto Lopez is very dirty city a lot of trash and plastic on the streets all around and a lot of dogs! Not very tourist friendly area.
• Nicole (2/5): Clean sheets BUT TOO LOUD - Maria and Osman do were very helpful. The sheets linens were clean. The shower was hot. The bathroom smelled like something died in it. I don't know if it's mold or what, but the smell permeated the room for three days. Dogs were barking and roosters were crowing at ALL HOURS. Then, at 8:30 AM on Sunday, a neighbor was BLASTING MUSIC. For two nights, I woke up because of the noise. This is unacceptable.
• Ricco (10/5): Super nice hospitality! - Oswaldo and Maria were super friendly and very helpful. The room was good with a great view of the sea. We also booked a whale watching tour through them.
• Benjamin (8/5): Petite semaine au repos - Une petite semaine au calme. L'hôtel est un peu excentré mais il y a des tuk-tuks à tous les coins de rues et cela permet d'être au calme. Les employés sont à l'écoute, vous mettent à l'aise et sont là pour vous aider (leur chien est adorable). Côté propreté rien à redire la chambre et les sanitaires/douches sont très propres. Pour le confort, pareil le lit est confortable, il y avait un ventilateur au cas où dans la chambre. Bonus non négligeable, l'internet est plus que correct.
• Janet (10/5): - The management was so nice. We were having a strike at the time and I wasn't able to get there on the exact date. They were very kind about all of it.
• christophe (10/5): bon rapport qualité prix - Le propriétaire est à l'écoute et peut vous proposer des excursions. Très bon accueil.
• Dennis (8/5): - Enjoyed my stay in Hotel Alcazaba. The location is above the town so you have a great view from the top floor patio. I would stay there again.....
• emilia (10/5): - amazing totally recommened the staff are the nicest people
• Verified traveler (10/5): - It's a bit of a walk up the hill but means you have a great view of the sea and the town. There is a kitchen you can use on the first floor and a lovely rooftop to chill on. The owner is really friendly and the family are super nice. Breakfast was included through Expedia and was eggs on toast, a fresh fruit juice and coffee/tea. Would highly recommend this place if you're thinking of staying in PL.
• Benjamin (10/5): Perfect stay - Maria and osvaldo,the host are so nice!we had a perfect stay with them! We arrived at 5h in the morning by the night bus,they got up and gave us our room with a smile even if the check in was at 14h that day! The room was clean with a view on the coast! The roof area with hamacs and 360• view was perfect to chill! There is a small kitchen with everything you need to cook,always good! 5 mins walk from the beach and supermarket. Good value for money. The only issue was the hot water,was hard to get it running.
• Joyce (8/5): Nice getaway - Had a spacious and clean room, although it's a little old. Lovely rooftop terrace, Shared kitchen facility if you like to economize and cook your own meals. Breakfast was fresh made, to order. they helped me with tour arrangement, both to Isla de la Plata and Agua Blanca. Easy walk into town or 50 cents for a moto-taxi. would stay here again.
• Chloe (8/5): Très bon choix. - Agréable hotel tenu pour une famille extrêmement gentille et dévouée. La chambre est nettoyée tous les jours. A environ 10-15 min à pied du bord de mer. Possibilité de prendre un mototaxi. En contrepartie, c'est calme. Très bon petit déjeuner. Agréable terrasse commune. La cuisine commune manque cruellement d'équipements mais on peut en emprunter aux proprios. Elle mériterait un peu plus de propreté.
• Nirvana (10/5): in Alcazaba is like being st family - I booked hostal alcazaba cause it had best rate on a private room with the bathroom .What a good decision .The minute I met lovely owner Maria i felt right at home and her personal touch is just like a family would treat you .Also I didn’t book tour through her but she had better prices for the same tour .Her breakfast is amazing as well
