Brotas Hostel

The outdoor common area is spacious and peaceful, with a very friendly little dog. There’s a large pool, hammocks, and clotheslines for drying things after rafting. You can also buy water and beer there. It’s a short distance from downtown, though it may feel a bit far if you don’t have a car. A comfortable, quiet place, highly recommended. The beds are comfortable, Wi-Fi has a strong signal, and the service is excellent. Breakfast is on par with good hotels, and the place is very clean. The owner is attentive and helpful.

It’s an easy walk into the center, just two streets to the right, but the house still has that peaceful countryside feel. The place is clean, tidy, and cool, with a lovely atmosphere whether you’re hoping to meet people or spend time on your own. The pool is clean and good for a swim or a bit of cooling off, and there are hammocks for an afternoon nap. The shared kitchen has the basics for making a meal: a fridge, microwave, stove, forks, cups, and plates. It’s a communal house with simple house rules that make sharing the space easier. There’s no parking, but the street is very quiet and there are several places to leave a car. Highly recommended.

The owner was lovely and very helpful, and made us feel at ease. The price was one of the best I found, and there’s a beautiful pool and a good kitchen. The downsides for me were sharing a bathroom with another room, a fan with no speed control, and a dog that sometimes woke me by barking right outside my window.

I loved the experience. Malta and Gabi were so kind, polite, and helpful, offering tips and a ride option that cost less than a taxi. The place was clean and the breakfast was wonderful. I didn’t get to use the pool because it was cold, but I plan to come back just to enjoy more of the energy there. The photo is of a nearby street, and the location is good. I’m grateful for it all.
