“Top notch hostel, I really enjoyed my stay”

9.0

17 Jan 2025

I had a great time at this hostel! The layout was really good, with plenty of common areas both inside and out. An added bonus also having an in-house bar with great happy hour offers. The staff were all fantastic, friendly, provided good recommendations and always up for a chat. Guests were super friendly, inclusive and up for hanging out, I met some great travel buddies during my stay. You can also run a tab for drinks and towel hire (100 peso for hire), then settle it on check out. Plenty of showers and toilets, which were kept really clean, beds were comfortable and there were massive storage cages for each guest in my 4 bed dorm (take your own lock or you can purchase one at the bar). You can join a hostel Whatsapp group chat, which is such a fab idea to meet people and join activities. Breakfast was fairly basic, but did the job.

People working at this hostel are amazing, truly go above and beyond to ensure that you enjoy your stay and have a great time. You’ll have no issues finding someone to join you for a night out or a day trip. Amenities are clean and modern, location is super safe yet close to the main spots. Hostel has it’s own bar with super affordable drinks, and they even do coffee (highly recommended). The breakfast is delicious, internet is quick and I would definitely stay here again.

What an awesome hostel! I had a private room which was really nice. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The staff are great! Super friendly and the WhatsApp group chat for the hostel is a great idea. Never seen that before. I really wanted to stay another night but had to get to Punta Cana for a flight!
