Nice hostel

Reviewed By wasklyw

I spent 4 nights in a dorm room of 4 beds and then had a two bed room to myself for 2 nights. No kitchen area for your own cooking found but pretty good restaurant on top for breakfast or supper or just drinks. Lots of places to eat within a 10 minute walk. The beds were pretty good and the place is clean. Front desk staff are pretty bilingual and pleasant and helpful. Good place to book your tour also as they pick up in the lobby. I would stay here again

Nearly there...

Look we liked this place. Rooms where clean, central location and reasonably priced. The big kick in the teeth however was wtf lock the kitchen in a secure premises. If you have an early tour or like us a early 12 hoir bus trip....no coffee, no breakfast and you cant get your own food out of the fridge. Really annoying to find this out when we could do nothing about it...seriously?

Like a fairytale

Reviewed By adam j

I want to like this hostel, I really do. It’s a beautiful old home that feels spacious. Esperanza, the owner is like a grandmother from a fairy tale. At first I thought it was an act..no one is THAT excited described TOAST! JAM! But she’s entirely sincer. Also, unfortunately, she suffers from some form of dementia ( I’ve been in and out of the hostel a few times over the past years) and her functionality has a base rate of 50% but sometimes her memory loses 90% which is horribly sad. Even with this I am fond of her but there are ramifications. There are no Covid policies AT ALL and there was a New Years party and a case and then a case in the next room. This old man slept and hacked and coughed all over the lovely hotel and the official policy was the fumigated the unventilated dorm only. And she retained her lovely, zany, brainless persona even when it was a serious issue.l What can I do?? What can I do? Well, there’s a list. I like her but there are limits when basic functions ( making change for example) are too difficult

Qhia Hostel was a nice Hostel, If you really want to relax and be in a quiet place, Qhia is a master of it. The layout of the hostel is well planned, The courtyard was my favorite and well maintained by raz. They also have a rooftop indoor and outdoor where you can just chill and do some wellness. People that I met was great. Location is closer to local market which is the best of all.

Very bad experience

Reviewed By martinsltopf

This hostel really seems overrated. The toilets are super nasty, security level is low - anyone can basically walk in and out at anytime. Walls are super think, so you can hear everything that’s going on anyway. Privates in the attic are a joke - tiny rooms full of crossbeams. You can’t really judge a hostel by its guests, but the atmosphere was super weird. Common areas indoors are not super cozy, and outdoor areas aren’t really good for ganging out in cold San Cristobal.

Avoid at all costs

Reviewed By Q1928SNkaties

6 girls in my dorm, including me, got incredibly sick here from the water. We’re now each in our next places backpacking in a lot of pain. The staff were indifferent to the fact it was their food/“filtered” water that made us ill and didn’t try to help. Hostel was dirty and there was a weird vibe there, no places to chill and a not welcoming crowd.

Great little hostel

Reviewed By jane c

We spent a great few days at Casa Monad, we were 7 people so had our own dorm, comfy beds, lots of blankets and big lockers. The showers have hot water and the WiFi is fast. Breakfast is included (French toast, eggs, cereal and fruit) and the kitchen is well equipped if you want to cook. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere but this is not a party hostel - we liked it for that! Totally recommend!
