Excellent! Saff, place, clean, confortable, central.
The floor is wood made so make a lot of noise when people are walking outside and you can hear it very well in the dorm/room.

What a weird organisation… The hostel is quite nice, the rooms are confortable and the location is great. But it can be very noisy if your room is close to the bathrooms. However the entrance door… you’re not allowed to keep the keys when you go out. Which means you have to be lucky enough that the receptionist is not taking a pee or wandering around the place, or you’ll have to wait until he notices someone’s at the door. And let’s talk about the checkout… once you’ll be done packing, they lock you in like a criminal until they’ve « checked » your room. I’ve never seen such a thing in my entire life and I’m pretty sure it is illegal. So it is a rather nice place but don’t expect too much.

Disappointing
Welcome to Mochiliers Hostel, where keys are just for show. Don't count on getting inside easily, though. Even with someone at reception, you might find yourself stuck outside for what feels like forever, waiting for the door to open. Once you're in, get ready for noise. The wooden floors are so loud, you'll think there's a marching band in the hallway. And forget about sleeping in – the party doesn't stop until dawn, and the early birds start chirping at 5 AM. The kitchen and bathroom have seen better days, with mold making itself at home on the walls and ceilings. And if you're brave enough to shower, get ready for a shock – the water's colder than the Arctic. But the real adventure? Those bunk beds without guardrails. Just hope you don't fall off, and good luck trying to explain your frustrations to the cleaning lady, who couldn't care less. And let's not forget the potential disaster of not having a key. Imagine if there's a fire and you can't get out because you're locked in. It's a nightmare scenario made worse by the hostel's lackadaisical attitude. In short, Mochiliers Hostel is more than just a place to crash – it's a wild ride through chaos and confusion. Hold on tight, folks.

Staff was really nice. You could take plants and herbs from their garden.
Toiletts got clogged and shower wasn't that warm.

Danger They locked the door to force me to pay 10usd. The reason ? I checkout the same day as my checkin. This "rules" like they said is not written anywhere. Is just a tourist trap.

The location was great
They crammed everyone into one dorm rather than using the empty dorms that were available. I was shoved in a dorm with 5 males when the two dorms next door were both empty. I don’t mind mixed dorms but it didn’t make sense to me! I would have thought it would be better to make people feel comfortable?!?!?

Nice place to stay and they worked with me when I had an issue with my reservation. The common areas were great and the location to the main plaza was ideal.
Bathrooms weren’t very clean and frequently out of toilet paper.

It's a cool hostel, really cozy, with good and polite staff members. Enjoyed my stay!!!
Not enough toilets, it's really annoying + times of reception closure (3-7am) since it's very oldschool solution in hostels (you don't have a key so cannot enter after 3 am unless you get a deal with staff for additional fee). Also only one of the staff members fluently speaks English, i believe this is a must in such places.

Great location, friendly staff, rooms had big lockers
the reception hours are 7-3 and they lock the door outside of those so you have to go find someone to unlock it for you. The water in the shower was either boiling hot or freezing as well

Location was fine. It was a bed and a place to leave luggage.
The dueña was on some sort of power trip, she was disrespectful and belittling.

Easy check in and nice staff
The kitchen facilities were not great and we had nowhere to sit for our meals. The dorm rooms were very small with little space.
