Coeo Hostel Hernan Ruiz

I’ve stayed at plenty of places around this price, and this is one of the best. The decor feels like a big hotel, and I slept more comfortably here than I have elsewhere. The bathrooms were so clean, with two sinks separate from the toilet and shower. I didn’t see my roommates much, but when we crossed paths we had a nice chat about our holiday. There’s a shared kitchen upstairs for coffee or making breakfast, and the pool is a nice extra. It just wasn’t warm enough to use while I was there. I wish this place were in every country, I’d happily stay again!

The rooftop pool was the best part for me, such a nice spot to relax. The restaurant also serves fresh, delicious food. The rooms were clean and well kept, and the staff were so friendly and helpful that it felt like a warm family atmosphere from the start. A wonderful hostel, in a great location and at a fair price. I’ll definitely come back!Honorata

The dorm was so comfortable and thoughtfully designed that I often didn’t even notice people coming or going. The hostel is on a quiet street in the center, close to the sights, though the marina and beach take 20-30 minutes on foot. There’s a cute little rooftop pool, good for hanging out with others or relaxing by yourself. One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at.

The location is 10/10, and the beds are comfortable with decent storage. The rooftop pool is lovely for spending the day, and the pod privacy screens and chargers are handy. Showers have great pressure, though there’s only one for 8 people, so keep that in mind. Two things made sleeping hard. The bathrooms and hairdryer are in the dorm room itself, just behind a door, so anyone using the dryer can wake everyone up. At other hostels I’ve stayed in, the bathroom was separate, which meant you could get ready without disturbing people. The air-con was another issue. Some people in my dorm wanted it set to 25 degrees overnight, which I found unfair and unacceptable. Sharing has its downsides, but it left me sleeping badly because they wouldn’t let me set a normal temperature. People also left the lights in their pods on until 2am. Bring a sleep mask if you’re a light sleeper.
