Actually reviewing to ask if you have secure gated parking for a motorcycle there? :)

This hostel has a great value on private rooms and is nice and modern and clean. The main potential downsides are that no alcohol is allowed and it is not within easy walking distance of the main part of town. However an Uber ride is only about 50 pesos to the center of town.

First time ever at a Hostel, I doubt there's another place like it. The service and attention from the staff are second to none. The place is clean, quiet and comfortable, I spent 5 nights there and the price was unbeatable! I definitely recommend this Hostal to anyone.
