Los Amigos Nest Hostel

Very quaint and laid back ambience. Normally travellers like us (retired professionals) might not connect with this sort of hostel, but we loved it. Just the kind of place we used to stay in 50 years ago, lots of young (and a few not so young) guests hanging out, doing cooking reading and very impressively clearing up afterwards. Communal facilities were very well looked after, and the person staffing reception was polite and very helpful. The downside is that it's quite a long way from the nearest towns and the roads are too dangerous to walk after dark (no kerbs, very dark, lots of fast traffic). But it was only €5 each way by excellent local taxis. If you're a backpacker or somebody who doesn't mind missing out on the soulless corporate budget hotels it's great value and a lot if fun. Only 15 minutes to the airport too.

I have never used accommodations like this, i.e. lots of people in several common spaces (kitchen, bathrooms or garden). We were pleased with our room. It was clean. We had a large, comfortable bed. The room had a large window overlooking the garden and the airport. The downside is the very modest equipment of the room. There is one small cabinet for a bedside lamp and a chair with a backrest. Plus, no hangers on doors or walls. It's enough for one night, but in the long run you can drown in your own things. A bathroom as a common area also works well. Showers are separate rooms that lock from the inside. Toilets are the same, of course. The entire facility is decorated very tastefully and thoughtfully. It's also very clean. The staff was constantly bustling about in the mornings, cleaning the common areas. The large number of guests in the common areas was not a nuisance. There was a lot of noise coming from the garden in the evening, but it quieted down later in the evening. The hostel owners take great care to ensure that the nighttime silence is not disturbed. We recommend this place for one or two nights. For longer stays, you'll need to enjoy staying in such places.

You have just about everything you need to get you settled in for your stay. Staff are extremely warm and welcoming, and there was a great group of people while I was there. Will almost definitely return in the future! Thanks
