Worth weighing

5 to weigh
  • Strict check-out time — Check-out is at 10:00, which might be early for some travellers, though luggage storage is available.
  • No pets allowed — If you’re travelling with a pet, this hostel isn’t an option.
  • Limited room types — Only two room categories are listed: a triple room and a double with shared bathroom, so privacy options are limited.

“Rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff was helpful and pleasant, the Wi-Fi worked well, and the location was great for exploring. The kitchen was also well equipped.”

8.4Verified guest

“An amazing hostel experience. Gabriel and Gabriela felt more like friends than staff, and the relaxed vibe made it easy to meet people in the shared kitchen. The place is modern and well designed, with lockers, charge points, and privacy curtains. It’s right next to the metro and airport bus stop, with a supermarket and bank nearby. The cleanliness and company were top-notch, plus air conditioning and a great workspace upstairs. I’ll definitely return. Sol even provided a hand-drawn map and extra helpful info. Can’t recommend this centrally located, reasonably priced hostel enough.”

8.4Verified guest

“Conveniently located near the metro and buses, the beds were comfortable with lockers, power points, and curtains. Facilities were clean and modern, with a well-planned kitchen and a superb work area. Staff, especially Gabriel, were friendly and spoke excellent English. The water filtration was a nice touch, and printing bus tickets was a bonus. Great value—highly recommend.”

“The value was spot on. The room was super comfy and spacious, and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud. The location was a winner with the metro right outside, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, going above and beyond. Kudos to them!”
