What an experience! We stayed 3 weeks at this Hostel and we had a lot of fun with the staff and the owner! Denisse is an amazing human being and we loved the good energy of team.
The hostel is a good place to chill between two shifts or crazy hot days.
100% recommanded :)

Although I didn’t stay there long it was a great experience. The hostel and the work is pretty chill and they have great breakfast! Mar the manager is super nice but of course also tells you what to do better, which I think is normal for working in a hostel. The other volunteers were also nice and all in all I felt really welcome there.

She is always willing to help and also she put a lot of effort learning Spanish, I really recommend her.
