It's a hostel that can pack people into a private room. Window was missing glass slat. Nosound insulation, so noisy until 11 PM. AC made squeaky noise. Plumbing was loose and you could see sunlight through the edges. Mattresses were old, one was overly firm, one was soft. Common areas, kitchen, and pool were nice. Staff is really friendly and takes pride in the community environment.

Very friendly and helpful staff. Good location and great workout/yoga space! My only issue was one bathroom for the entire dorm and the bathroom was right inside the room

Excellent staff! Very friendly and accommodating. Such a happy, and inclusive community vibe. Extremely affordable, and convenient. I wish I’d booked here from the beginning. Don’t think about booking one night just to be sure you like it, with thoughts of extending your stay. It’s unlikely they’ll have availability. Jump right in if you’re looking for an affordable, friendly, no fuss stay, with parking, and everything within walking distance. I will definitely stay here again.

Everything was great and everything went smoothly. Staff was accommodating and offered dinner service. Only con is the dustiness that's caused by it being on a main road but location is good!

The front desk staff were very personable and friendly. They were very helpful answering any questions that I had. This hostel is in a great location, within easy walking distance to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The pool was very nice to cool off any time of the day into the evening. I would definitely return to this place .

Good location central to town and a great pool and common area. Helpful staff and a great price! Only issue was that our room was not soundproof at all. The hostel was not terribly noisy, all guests were respectful and the nighttime noise curfew respected, but we could hear everything going on. Would recommend if you need a cheap place with lots of amenities but maybe not great for early sleepers.

Highly recommended La Botella de Leche
Very good experience. We had the chance to be in the newer area (2nd floor). Very secure. Nico borough. Very friendly and helpful personnel. We were a couple. We had a private room and bathroom with AC. Highly recommended.
