I booked this hostel for the riverside photos and coworking vibe, but it didn’t match the experience. The workspace is next to the dorms, and noise carries easily from the kitchen and common areas. Bathrooms and showers are in the living room area, FAR from the dorms. Sleeping was difficult due to noise, heat, and mosquitoes. The beach is about a 50-minute walk, so transport is often needed. Transport is also needed to go to restaurants. The river area is next to a boat parking lot with only a small dock, not the relaxing pier shown in photos. Staff were friendly, especially Salvador, and the hostel events were a plus. I booked nine nights and stayed three because the layout and logistics didn’t work for me. Best suited for very social travelers rather than those needing quiet or work space. Perfect for travelers who enjoy cooking and will not be leaving the hostel much.
