    I loved my stay at a nice hostel in a convenient location. The atmosphere was great, and it was easy to meet and chat with other guests in the common area. The hostel was very clean, and the common bathrooms and showers were always in good condition. The highlight of my stay was the bike tour with Alex, which was a fantastic way to explore the city. Also, the hostel was close to a market and pharmacy, which was convenient. I would highly recommend this place for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

    For breakfast there were pancakes, fruits, ice tea and coffee. Check-out is at 11am, but you can leave your luggage at the reception and continue to use the pool and sanitary facilities! Great service :)

    I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at this hotel. the value for money was excellent - the prices were very reasonable. Secondly, the hotel's attention to detail was impressive, especially in the basic amenities provided in the rooms. The air conditioning, even though separated by a curtain, ensured a comfortable and cool sleep. Additionally, having a private bathroom was a great convenience. Lastly, the breakfast, which included delicious pancakes, was a delightful start to the day.

    All was satisfactory, nothing to improve.

    This hotel is value for money with affordable prices. The attention to detail is impressive, especially with the clean and well-maintained rooms and basic amenities. The central location makes it convenient to explore many points of interest in the city, just like the helpful staff mentioned in one of the reviews who provided great tips for sightseeing and dining options. The breakfast with delicious pancakes is a delightful way to start the day.

    Nothing to complain about, everything was perfect.

    Friendly staff, free breakfast, and convenient location with nearby restaurants and shops. the complimentary make, your, own pancakes were a highlight, and we appreciated being close to everything we needed. Plus, the staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome.

    the walls were paper, thin, and we were kept awake all night by loud partying and music.

    The location was perfect for our romantic getaway as it was close to the supermarket, a cinema, and the Cinta Costera. We enjoyed the pool and the pool table, which provided good entertainment during downtime. The staff was nice and friendly, always willing to help out with suggestions on where to go.

    We were let down by the cleanliness of the facilities, especially the bathrooms. The bed linens seemed old, and the A/C wasn't working well- which made it incredibly hot at night.

    I got great value for my money at El Machico. The room was spacious, modern, and clean. The location was convenient and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay.

    The only thing that could make the breakfast menu better is if they offered tea as promised.

    I recently had a wonderful stay at a charming little hostel in a bustling area. Its central location made it extremely convenient, with plenty of restaurants and attractions within walking distance. The affordable prices and attention to detail were impressive, especially with the provision of air-conditioned rooms and private bathrooms. The friendly staff went above and beyond with their service, making me feel right at home. The basic amenities provided, such as the cozy beds and delicious pancake breakfast, were just what I needed for a comfortable stay.

    Everything was absolutely lovely.

    I had an amazing time at a hostel in a bustling city. The spacious and clean 6-bed dorm provided a piece of home. Each bed had a locker for storing personal belongings. The complimentary breakfast of pancakes, coffee, and a banana was a perfect start to the day. The common areas had a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, with a pool table, television, and books. The pool was a refreshing spot to relax after a long day of exploring. The staff, especially David, were super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this hostel for a great stay.
