Great activities and vibe.
Great food, friendly staff. The design and layout of the hostel is fun and spacious. Loved the morning yoga, great gym, and various nightly activities available. The temascal ceremony is also really interesting. Hostel has a good vibe.
I ended up moving into another hostel that offered affordable private rooms as i found my dorm room quite cramped and messy. The toilets also didn't lock. However I continued to pay the $AUD 12 per night so I could come by and use the gym, do yoga, enjoy the cheap food, strong internet and cocktail nights which were all well worth it.

Super chido para descansar, cargar pilas, trabajar y disfrutar de la fiesta
Llegue en la tarde al hostal, todo muy bien hubo de cenar Hamburguesa (60 pesos si no esta incluido en tu reserva) era Viernes, en el bar hubo 2 hrs de Cockteles gratis y clases de salsa gratis, ambiente agradable y sobretodo seguro ya q el bar esta dentro del hostal y es solo para huespedes. Al otro dia en la mañana el dedayuno estaba muy rico muy rico (50 pesos si no esta incluido en tu reserva) con cafe y un vasito de jugo natural. Cabe mencionar que en el desayuno hay opcion dulce, opcion salada y opcion vegetarina y en cena opcion de carne o vegetariana. Tiene un jardin y terraza para descansar y tomar un poco de sol, olvidaba q los martes y viernes a las 4,30 pm aprox ofrecen bocadillos o botanitas (hay opcion vegetariana) gratis para convivir en la terraza Jardin. En resumen todo muy chingon...

L'auberge est grande et les espaces communs nombreux et différents, adaptés aux rencontres comme aux moments de calme individuel. Les tours proposés offrent un très bon rapport qualité-prix. La nourriture servie est très bonne et bon marché. L'ambiance générale est très agréable.
