    Cute place, would stay again.

    • Double Room with Private Bathroom
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The pool was very small, and while I did not use it, it looked clean, and I did see others using it.

    I stayed in a private room with ensuite and AC for 5 nights in early August. It was quiet at night, the bed was comfortable, and the AC worked well. The shower was small but did the trick. I liked that there was a lot of shelving in the room to put luggage on, so it wasn’t on the floor. The staff worked really hard to keep the entire place clean and it shows. Breakfast each morning was made fresh and was very good with good size portions. They have free filtered water in the kitchen. This place had great common areas with lots of different seating and a pool table. Great use of space! The location is a few minutes’ walk from the main square, but I never felt unsafe walking by myself as a woman any time of day or night. It wasn’t the most social hostel I’ve ever stayed in, but I did like it and would stay again.

    Nothing !

    The staff was AMAZING ! Are going out of there way to make our stay incredible. They even let us checkin at 9AM for much needed sleep after our volcano sunrise trip. The included breakfasts are awesome (3 choices, the pancakes are incredible). And they even agreed to make us granola yogurt for our departure at 4AM.

    There could be more kitchen ware available for guests in the shared kitchen, but we made do with what was there and it was fine.

    Very welcoming, feels a little like a home away from home. My 4yo loved it too (they even had children’s toys!). Can’t beat this price point looking at location, facilities and breakfast included. Also, the turtles living on the premises are very cute. We loved it and regret not staying longer. Recommend 100%.

    The breakfast was delicious and also you can choose from 3 options . The shared space is nice and having the kitchen is also a big plus.The room was clean and comfortable even if it was small, the bathroom is large.All the staff is nice and helpful, especially the young ladies from reception and weekend breakfast, they are always smiling and make you feel very welcomed. There is a mini pool as well, but we did not use it.

    This is one of the smaller and not a party hostel in León which for me was a big plus. The staff laid out clear expectations to quiet hours and it was always observed. I had the top room at the end of the property so it was very quiet any way. In the front there is a bit of not obtrusive music throughout the day to brighten the mood. My room was very spacious and had AC which I recommend in León. Great old tiles in the room and bathroom. There is breakfast with 3 choices plus good coffee for breakfast. The small communal table invites to get in touch with other travellers. The kitchen was always clean and there is filtered water. The communal areas are throughly cleaned every day. There is a little gym on the rooftop, yoga mats are provided which I regret not having seen earlier. Shuttles and excursions can be arranged.
