Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Noisy bed curtains — Some guests noted that the bed curtains in dorms are noisy and the locker hinges are difficult to operate, which could affect light sleepers.
  • Limited soundproofing in dorms — Despite soundproofed rooms being listed, some reviews suggest noise from the lively social areas can carry, and a few guests mention street noise in the busy area.
  • Check-in window — Check-in is only between 15:00 and 23:59, which may be inconvenient for early arrivals or late-night flights.
  • No on-site parking — The hostel does not list parking, so guests arriving by car will need to find alternative arrangements in the busy El Poblado area.
