Toucan Hostel

My experience did not quite match the enthusiastic reviews left earlier here. I think it's fine as a cheap airport stopover place, with a few caveats. The main one: be sure you get the right room! I was given a room two doors down from the office and the entrance to the hotel and it was very noisy, especially as the walls are paper thin and there are large windows between rooms that have been covered with dark film for privacy but of course let a lot of sound through. Oh right: it was kinda warm also and only had a small fan to blow air in from the hallway for ventilation. When I asked to change rooms I was told the only other option was a bunk room. Having already paid (big mistake!) I thought I'd give it a go. After a while I realized there was no way I'd be able to sleep with the noise so I asked to cancel and for a refund. They said that was not possible and then finally said there was another open room upstairs so I moved to there. It was much better and had a quiet air conditioner, so things worked out. But it's worth noting that even upstairs in the better rooms you hear everything in the hallway so are likely to be woken up at times unless you sleep very soundly. Personally, I'd go for one of the similarly priced Airbnbs in Alueta next time, even as the Toucan is not unreasonable for what it is. Oh right: it is true that it's very clean, as others have said, so that's good!

Very early flight so didn’t want to be far from the airport, lovely clean basic room with shared bathroom. Staff very friendly and helpful, booked a taxi for us and was bang on time at 3 am . Thought there might be noise from planes but can’t be many flights through the night as we didn’t hear anything . Wish we had eaten at the food trailer as the nachos looked amazing 🤩 Why pay expensive hotels especially when up and out early
