Close to everything! Expedia was a bit confusing with the receipt saying the room was already paid for... It wasn't. Not a big deal, and definitely not Wabi Hostel's fault. Room is clean, awesome staff! There's a paid parking lot two buildings down. We would book again next time we are in the area.

Buen hostal

En general bastante bien, al final lo usé para dormir y su cercanía con la playa y 5ta Avenida es estupenda por el precio. El desayuno muy bueno si lo comparo con otros hostales en donde me he quedado. Obviamente la privacidad no es el fuerte de los hostales. La atención del personal es muy buena, todos muy cordiales.

Buenas habitaciones y ubicación.

El Hostel esta a una cuadra de la 5 avenida. Las habitaciones son espaciosas (estuve en una para 5 personas) posee aire acondicionado, ventiladores, cocina y baño. El único problema es que todos los días hay música hasta las dos de la mañana, es un problema si necesitas levantarte temprano para alguna excursión pero si estas de fiesta es lo mejor!!
