About a half-block to a beautiful beach. Hostal was clean, vibe was amazing, and the staff & guests were all amazing. Very welcoming vibe - highly recommend to anyone looking for outstand services, facilities, and people (especially if travelling solo and your Spanish is 'so-so'. Went on an amazing hike to an eye-catching hidden beach & boat-ride 'on a whim'. This place was made for tranquility, adventure, and meeting new friends. Extremely safe and all guests were taken care of - would go back in a heartbeat.

This Hostel was defiantly good value for money. It was only a few short blocks from the beach and within walking distance to the Malecon. For that budget traveler, its also right on major bus routs. You can go from the Airport to the Zona Romantica with bus routs passing right near the Hostel, which means landing and getting to the hostel is only going to cost you 10 pesos. I also really enjoyed the breakfast. It was an option of Chilaquiles or a plate of fruit with some instant coffee prepared by yourself al gusto. Oh and did I mention the streets nearby have a good selection of taco stands?

All hostels in Puerto Vallarta

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    -The breakfast was easy but ok. -Free coffee to refill during breakfast -A couple of sockets in the dorm -a lot of showers -there are two bus stops left and right in front of the hostel which will bring you super cheap to the airport, the city center and the beaches -there is a nice river close to the hostel -the locker in the room comes with a lock and key, so no need to bring one by yourself 👍🏻

    If you like a bohemian vibe and are traveling on a budget, then this is the perfect place. I stayed in a female dormitory with 4 bunk beds, but the room was very spacious and not stuffy at all - I liked it. The owner and his dog are very friendly, relaxed, and easygoing.
