Hostel was well organized and ran, with fun free activities every night. Some of these activities like karaoke can be a bit loud outside rooms that are close to the bar area if you are trying to get rest, but it is quiet by 11pm. Bathroom in shared dorms but also extra bathrooms by kitchen area to use which was really nice and tended to be a bit cleaner than my dorm one.
Nos encantó nuestra estancia en Viajero. Muchas gracias a Mike, Fátima, Maru y Dani, la atención de todos fue increíble y muy divertida, ya que cuentan con varias actividades para interactuar con todas las personas que se alojan allí. Además de que la comida y las bebidas que ofrece el hotel son muy sabrosas. Altamente recomendado. Además son personas jóvenes con mucha energía y con una super actitud positiva.
