The place was extremely old. Private room was not even worth $10. Dirty and misrepresent by pictures. Worst part BIG MOLD on the wall. It was only a bed in a space . Do not stay there at any cost.
Ar condicionado eficaz ! Atendimento ótimo ! Aconchegante! Festas no Hostel toda noite !primeira vez hospedado em hostes ! Experiência ótima ! Recomendo!

Bien, mais...
Le viajero est bien situé à 10mn de la plage à pied. Le seul problème c est que c est un hostel fréquenté à 80% par des Israéliens qui ont un comportement vraiment mauvais. Ils parlent fort jusque 2h du mat ,crient dans les couloirs. L hôtel a mis en place des mesures pour faire respecter les règles. Je ne conseille pas aux femmes solos les dortoirs mixtes en tout cas pas à San Andres.Sinon le personnel est adorables toutes les personnes de la réception sont très gentils , toujours à l écoute. Les chambres sont bien il y a des rideaux sur les lits. La wifi fonctionne bien. Possibilité booker les activités avec eux.

Für mich war alles optimal, ich habe tolle Menschen kennengelernt und hatte einen Ort zum runterfahren. Jedoch ist es im 5 floor sehr laut, da direkt gegenüber die Bar ist, was für mich aber kein Problem war. Alles waren super nett und die Touren die angeboten werden, waren auch toll!
Tive uma ótima experiência no El Viajero en San Andrés! A equipe é muito solícita, o hostel é bastante social possibilitando fazer amizades e participar de atividades todos os dias com pessoas de todos os lugares do mundo. Além disso, eles oferecem tours por San Andrés e dão ótimas dicas de passeios. Fiquei em um quarto privado com amigas, que estava limpo e oferecia tudo que prometia (realmente não tem água quente na ilha). Apesar de acontecerem as festas no último andar, do quarto onde fiquei não conseguia ouvir a música e foi possível descansar tranquilamente. Recomendo muito!
Atmosphera maravilhosa para fazer companhias. Tem sempre um evento a noite para unir os viajantes solitários. Fiquei num quarto privado com boa cama e travesseiro. Otimo ar condicionado. TV nao pegava mas nao senti falta. Banheiro limpo. Bom chuveiro. A propriedade não tem agua quente.

La cocina no daba aspecto de limpia, el balcón o la zona muy ruidoso, sin agua caliente.
En general la experiencia dentro del hostal es agradable, en especial por sus variadas actividades dentro del sitio, siempre habrá algo por hacer, las distintas actividades son amenas para la integración entre todos.
Nos encantó el lugar, es muy limpio y tranquilo, en un lugar céntrico cercano a playa y a todo en general, además un muy buen desayuno. El lugar no cuenta con agua caliente pero la verdad es que tampoco es agua helada y dado el calor del lugar no es indispensable. En cuánto a la limpieza es muy muy limpio, siempre veíamos personas limpiando por lo que eso también nos gustó. Personas amable, seguro y el bar es barato en general, volvería definitivamente.
Great location, clean and great for the price. No elevator though

Esperava uma estrutura melhor apesar de ser hostel, um pouco distante da praia, fiquei quarto privativo,quarto bem simples, n trocaram as toalhas em 4 dias, café basico q só começa as 8hs
Vale o custo beneficio... simples, mas confortavel! Bem localizado!! As vezes um pouco barulhento a noite..

The pictures on the website are out dated. It doesn't look at all as advertised. It's not the prettiest nor the ugliest but could be better.
We arrived at 1:10pm and requested for an early check in (i've had it with other hostels and hotels and no problem). They said mandatory at 2pm. The girls at the reception could be nicer. We went back at 2pm and it took them 30minutes for the check in, the room was clearly ready when we got there. Keeping this in mind, we didn’t get the towels by the check in, so much for waiting without towels.
The private room is spacious, the A/C works perfectly, the bathroom doesnt have hot water(at night the water is freezing!).
The breakfast would be a 4/10, coffee as bad as it could be. Not even free water by breakfast. For breakfast included you have to go EVERY morning downstairs to get a ticket. Maybe you could give a card or something to not make us go down.
We got back from the beach at sunset and waited 5minutes for the door to open because the receptionist was talking with some people.
Location is perfect, you have the pier by the army less than 5min walking, the malecon 8minutes walking.
With some upgrades the hostel could be way more.
me encanto la atención en general, las personas que trabajan en el hostal super amables, el espacio es muy cómodo y agradable.
es super central y queda cerca a la playa
Un poco lejos de la playa. No habia ascensor. No cambiaron las sábanas en nuestra estadía (4 noches)

Localização muito boa, próxima do centro. O hostel deixou um pouco a desejar quanto aos banheiros nos quartos, o do meu por exemplo demorava muito para encher a caixa da descarga logo, com 8 pessoas no quarto se tornou impossível usar o banheiro principalmente no período da manhã.
A cidade é muito quente e infelizmente a parte que fica o bar não disponibiliza ar condicionado logo durante o café da manhã você sempre sente o umidade da cidade.
