아레나 네스트 호스텔

Nice small and quiet hostel being low season not too many guests great staff and location only downside is the beds the mattress is tin and there is a metal bar right in the middle of the bed frame that was super uncomfortable they should invest in ticker mattresses ! Also dont be fooled by the free breakfast its only coffee tea and biscuits

Se requiere una reforma integral en los baños, ya que su estado actual dificulta incluso actividades básicas como lavarse los dientes o tirar de la cadena. Esto es especialmente problemático dado que solo hay dos baños disponibles para alrededor de 20 personas. La falta de mantenimiento en las habitaciones también es evidente, llegando a tener una habitación privada con somier roto. Sin embargo, hay que destacar que el aspecto más positivo de la experiencia es el desayuno ofrecido.

Good place.

Overall a disappointing stay. You have to make a lot of compromises. Eventhough the price is much higher than other Nest hostels you get much less. The main guy who is “working” at the reception also makes the beds and “cleans” the floor once a day. One time i wanted to go to the bathroom and noticed the floor was wet, so i wanted to return but that guy who is very very hyperactive and childish screams at me for “wanting to pass”. He is anything but professional. Since that he gave me the feeling of having a personal problem with me. Last day, I stayed in the common area a bit longer than my checkout time because i was waiting for a friend who had already tour and he asks me rudely and annoyed when to leave (left the dorm already). He made me feel very uncomfortable during the stay as if i’m staying in his personal house. Also forget about working remotely here, the guy plays extra loud music and doesn’t give a f. The rooms.. If you want to relate how a refugee feels, come here. A very small room for 10 ppl, you can’t use the “locker” without disturbing other roommates (spare room anyway) + no air conditioning and very stinky. In some hostels I go to my dorm to relax but here that isn’t possible, you get overwhelmed from the humidity and smell. In general there were only weird people here. 30+y old lost and bad mannered men. In Puerto Nest for example the vibe was very different and much much more welcoming. Good thing is there is a Suma market very close.

For a solo traveler who is interested in social contact it's a really good opportunity. Lots of these typical hostel people around up for been here done that talks and eating together or playing beer pong. Personally, if you are on the island for hiking and following your own plan I wouldn't say it's your best choice. The bed is really not something you want after a few hikes in the mountains. The mattress is so thin and that metal bar in the middle is pushing to your back and your muscles just can't relax. 10 beds in a small room. I liked the possibility to use a washing machine. The showers and sink only offer a very weak stream of water. Good and strong WiFi everywhere. Staff is mainly volunteers from worldpackers. So be surprised who will be there for you. For the price, it is what it is. Breakfast was good, even better if it would start earlier.
