Easy to book a god variety of tours via this hostel while being in a good location. The staff are helpful, friendly, and welcoming. I felt safe after arriving early in the morning while it was dark outside.

Nice room and shower. The bar area is only open Thursday - Saturday which was disappointing as the hostel lacked atmosphere and there were no social activities (other than salsa dancing a couple of times a week). Room was noisy but maybe just as it was at the front.

No decent amenities in the private rooms, no hairdryer and the heater was barely doing anything for the room.
I booked a proper suite and got a family room. No help whatsoever from Selina to fix the booking from Trip. I think for the price you can have a better room elsewhere.

The staff are first-rate, polite, kind and helpful. The room is clean, the hot water flow is large, the Wi-Fi speed is good, and the location is good. Various travel packages are provided. There are both youth hostels and single private rooms. The atmosphere in the lobby is very good. The kitchen equipment is a bit outdated, but You can still cook.

Recently stayed here for the first time and it is so far my favorite hostel in South America. Staff was great, spoke English, check in process was easy and quick, hot water, comfy beds, nice aesthetic, gave good recommendations, free luggage storage. They were able to call a cab for my friend and I when needed. They have a patio out front that was nice to just sit and hang out at. There is also a security guard 24/7. We had someone from outside the hostel approach us and the guard was on it within seconds! Super safe and super nice place. Wondered the neighborhood and never felt unsafe, even after dark. Did the bouldering offered by the hotel and had a blast!
