In-Depth Information
There's a good travelers' vibe at this party hostel - staff swear the party shuts down at
10pm - and a sweet little cafe-bar out front.

The Vía Vía chain of hostels, which stretches from Katmandu to Buenos
Aires, consistently comes up with the goods. This is no exception, offering beautiful,
colonial-style rooms with great bathrooms, and spacious six-bed dorms with their own
bathroom! The patio area is lush and there's an atmospheric bar-restaurant area out front.

A good location and friendly owners make up (kind of) for small rooms, SpongeBob beds
and rough bathrooms that sit around a cramped and unkempt courtyard.

You are
likely to lose sleep here, as the bar out front is one of the most popular in town. But it's a
fun place all in all, with a large book exchange, shared kitchen and rougher edge than oth-
er hostels in town.

With more character than many in this price range,
the medium-sized rooms here are long on colonial atmosphere without all the costly little
extras. Beds are big, with lavish bedheads, and the occasional chip in the paintwork or
tear in the wallpaper adds to rather than detracts from the charm.
