    Best hostel I've stayed in. Great activities, lovely staff, not a party hostel with people looking to get drunk or hook up but a real communal family vibe. Best decision I made was staying here.

    It was amazing that there were so many group activities offered, like group breakfast or a mezcal tasting, especially as a solo traveler. The solo room itself was also a private heaven when needing alone time.
