Simply nice.

A nice hostel. it is quite literally a 30 second walk from the beach - if you walk slowly! A nice touch having breakfast included in the morning and having use of the kitchen throughout the day - we were able to keep costs down. There's a mini supermarket, 2 doors away. We had a room with private bathroom - the bathroom could do with some maintenance. But all in all, we enjoyed our stay here. It is a backpackers hostel, not a hotel - just bear that in mind.

Pour une nuit peux être, pour plus voir ailleurs

Hôtel très proche de la plage, de l'autre côté de la rue, avec accès direct. L'accueil a pas été très bien, ne trouvait pas la réservation, même avec la feuille de réservation, voulais chargé en double même si déjà payé. La chambre est une chambre 2 étoiles, c'est bien, mais la nuit est pas relaxante, les chien dans la ruelle arrière et la maison a côté on japper et hurler toute la nuit, et sur le matin ça été des pleurs d'enfants de la maison voisine pendant 1h environ. L'hôtel est situé dans un petit quartier pauvre alors il y a une grille avec un cadenas a l'entrée de l'hôtel. Pour le même prix il y a mieux ailleurs.

Buen lugar en Farallón.

Lo mejor fueron Florencia, Marcos y Emiliano encargados del Hostal. La habitación es amplia y cómoda pero no hay agua caliente y, como los otros hostales de la zona, no tiene TV. Està en la calle principal y a metros de la playa. Hay minimercados y para comer cerca. Lo que no me gustó no tiene que ver con el hostal sino con el lugar: después de las 21 no hay donde ir a tomar ni comer nada. Está en Farallón y no en Playa Blanca.

Endroit simple mais très sympathique. Décoration gaie et cuisine avec l'équipement pour se faire à manger. Toutefois douche minuscule et eau froide seulement.
