Great address
Excellent hostel run by lovely people. The patio is super nice to land on. There's everything you need. Location close to the lines of colectivos to visit the city. I recommend

Maybe I’m just too old for hostels but I’d never stay here again. I was just staying here for a few hours to refresh during my layover. The bathroom conditions were disgusting. I didn’t even want to take a shower there. Very old property, they don’t seem to take great care of it. The staff was friendly but I wouldn’t want to stay there again even for a couple hours.

The staff was courteous and friendly, but the rooms are overdue for an upgrade, especially the sagging and uncomfortable mattresses. The bathroom shower had black mold.

Kind reception, and really safe place to stay feels welcoming and the influx of people makes it safe. Would recommend.

Not good. I noticed that they had photos of the bathroom for every room... but mine (I think) it didn't. When I arrived... I understood why.
The shower is above the toilet bowl (latrine). Yes. So OF COURSE the whole bathroom gets wet and there's no room for anything. Also, knowing that, they could easily put some organization in the bathroom so your stuff wouldn't get wet as well, but no... the only place to put anything is on the sink.
So to me, that's not what I expect. There's A LOT of places that are better for the same price that are just 5 minutes further from the airport.
