Reviews

I only stayed one night, but the location is very convenient and close to everything. Friendly and helpful people, and a classic hostel atmosphere. For 26 USD, it did not feel worth it. The dorm was small, very hot with no AC, the beds were uncomfortable, and the place did not feel clean. I also saw cockroaches, and the pool is tiny. For only a few dollars more, I stayed nearby in a private room with AC and a bathroom, so the value here felt poor.

It’s charming and fits the scenery and vibe with ease Nothing to dislike

I had such an amazing stay at Island Life Hostel! I stayed in Kathmandu, the private room with an en-suite bathroom. It was comfortable, cool because of the air conditioning and the bathroom was nice with provided hand soap and bath soap. Definitely worth the price! I was working remotely and the WiFi was fast and there were places to get things done. I loved the breakfast too. I thought the atmosphere was GREAT! I loved the people I met – I made friends very quickly and we all enjoyed going out at night in addition to activities during the day. Staff was great, especially Claudia! Claudia was PHENOMENAL – her vibes were great and I loved how she provided so many recommendations to the WhatsApp group chat of things to do and places to go. I want to come to this hostel again and again. Te veo pronto! The filtered water wasn't working during my stay so had to buy water. Maybe there should be multiple filtered water stations for guests. This was the only thing, everything else was lovely!

Very well located and very pleasant and welcoming staff - all in all a great hostel

Even though the rooms and bathroom are always clean, I did find cockroaches in the locker shelf so make sure to keep your luggage closed.

Very kind owner, easy check-in, great location Hearing anyone at breakfast while we're sleeping, no warm water in shower. A few ants but it's the tropics.

Great location, friendly staff, room was comfortable. The property was beautiful. The breakfast was meh, but edible. No hot water although we were told they were in the process of getting solar panels.
-
Location was nice and not far from other attractions. People were all pleasant and friendly. The pool is not a pool it's a hot tub converted to a pool major disappointment . Breakfast was just eggs some kind of beans and dry pancakes.

Location and good vibes 0 complaints

Nice bar area for nightly drinks with other guests. Pool is rather small

The breakfast
-
No kitchen and doesn't look like it anytime soon. Also the quiet time thing is really annoying
-
Completely renovated room, brand new bathroom, BAR was amazing and open during heavy raining days, staff helps with most stuff, nice eggs in the morning included, WIFI is hella fast, over 150mbps in the terrace, staff arranged Scary movie night, we watched Netflix, Halloween. Close to everything, within walkable distance, groceries and dancing places like Parada 77 / Museo del Ron (For those Salsa Dancers this is a plus); Check in/Check out was as fast as it could be. i didn't booked for longer time.
-
Location, nothing else is nice including breakfast Big cockroaches flying around. Rude female staff (not the one who wears glasses cuz she was very kind) couldn't understand English at times and would roll eyes at guests and make noises in anger during check-in and talked back.
-
The location is good. It has a nice common area to hang out and meet friends. The beds are okay and the staff is friendly. The bathroom is spacious. The breakfast is quite basic, and since it’s scrambled omelet every morning a nice touch would be to choose how you want them.
