    Try to get a room off the street. (#4 is great for a couple) We were on the street the first night and could barely sleep hearing the music from bars nearby and every moto going by.

    Great location near central square and great bars and restaurants. Friendly, helpful staff. Cute hostel with nice common areas. Great hot shower and hot water in the sink.

    The cost, 90bob for an 8 bed dorm is much more expensive then the average in the rest of the country. Very equivalent room in a hostel in la paz was going for 40bob

    It's a nice hostel, well equipped and clean and I found a nice vibe with the other travellers. It's just very expensive, I found there to be much cheaper accommodation in the area, I found private rooms that were equally well equipped, just not as modern, for cheaper than their 8 bed dorm

    • Solo traveller
    • Bed in 4-Bed Mixed Dormitory Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    - Noise from the street from cars and late night bar - No organized social events for the guests - I arrived at around 7am (after a very unpleasant overnight bus), but didn't get to move into the room until 11:30am which was still nice because check-in time is 12pm. I was offered the option to take a nap in one of their hammocks or living room and use the other public facilities (bathroom, showers)

    - Marta (daytime receptionist) - very helpful - gave me lots of information on restaurants and things to do in the city - Beautiful Hostel - with garden and lots of sitting areas - Nice Breakfast (tea, coffee, yogurt, fruit, eggs, bread) - Spacious Room (Quad with Private Bathroom) - very clean, nice hot shower - Free luggage storage after checkout - Central Location - about 15 bolivianos taxi from the bus terminal

    Excellent. So clean! Bed was so comfortable! The room was massive and had its own bathroom with space to change. Staff are exceptionally helpful and helped me book a great toro toro tour. Two garden areas with plenty of tables chairs and a hammock. Location is spot on! Good kitchen and dining area. Breakfast was great!!

    The plumbing is a bit noisy, the room cleaning could be a little more thorough, but this is honestly perhaps the best hostel I’ve ever stayed in.

    Eclectic, well designed facility, full of local touches and art, loads of indoor and outdoor spaces to hang and chill either alone or with friends. And the most relaxed, chill, helpful staff I’ve ever encountered in a hostel.

    - The private room we got was very cramped (but it was as advertised in the photos, so not a surprise).

    - Central location with a number of restaurants nearby. We got to the hostel from the bus terminal via a short InDrive ride (15 BOB). - Plenty of common areas on the first floor and third floor. The decor and ambience in the common areas were very nice too, one of the best we've seen in hostels in Latin America. - The lady at the reception was very friendly. While checking out, she shared many tips about other destinations that we were going to while in Bolivia.

    Highly recommended. The hostel has a humble appearance from the street, but opens up into a little oasis which is their backyard. Plenty of space, places to hang out, great atmosphere, sweet breakfast service (eggs made to order) and outstandingly nice and helpful staff!

    That night the music of the building in the front of the hostal was very loud and it was difficult to sleep. But I know it's not all the days.

    The staff is amazing. I really appreciate for their support. My room was very clean, the breakfast is very complete and overall I would comeback here.

    That they don't put more fruits at breakfast when it's running out of it even though there is still some time for breakfast left!

    Just seems excessively expensive for a hostel that offers a standard hostel experience/facilities.

    Nice central hostel, lots of common space, beds comfy and big lockers. Staff super friendly and gave lots of good advice.

    No fan or airconditioning in the room, this was okay as the nights were relatively cool but no air flow as mosquitos mean you can't really keep the windows open.

    I stayed in a private room and it was as nice as a hotel room. Bed was really comfortable and shower was hot. Staff were really friendly and very helpful and informative. Breakfast was basic but nice. Walking distance to most of the main things to do in Cochabamba.
