Booked the private room, and it was a great value with quality AC with a comfortable bed. Likewise, the social atmosphere around the hostel is fantastic. The owners are quite friendly and really support the spirit of the hostel. Would absolutely recommend!

This place is very centrally located, and there are miles of safe walking paths nearby. They also have a mini-bar with happy hour from 6-8 pm. Since I had to catch a bus to Punta Cana, I was only 7 minutes away. I highly recommend this place.

Everything was impeccable. The location in the colonial zone is spectacular. The rooms are a bit small, but that doesn't detract from all the other wonderful things about the place. The hosts organize outings and recommend local spots. Highly recommended.
