Summary: What I liked most about this hostal is that it attracts all sorts of friendly people from around thw world and that thye hodt an event pretty much each day, keeping you engaged in the community. The staff are super friendly and even join on the daily events. The shared dormitories have slightly uncomfortable beds, but all of the facilites you need are there (locker, shower, and the like. It would be nice to have larger blankets, but it’s only a small negative. Of the ~40 hostels I’ve been to I would say this is my favorite hostel experience yet.

Summary: Staff was cool. It was pretty empty as it's late July/early August. It's in between Zacaleta and Punto so you have to walk or rent a scooter. Police extorted me walking home one night. Crispy chicken sandwich is really solid. Onsite ATM was broken into and un-usable. Mercardo is at the top of the hilly street and has 10-12 restaurants. Kareoke night was hilarious.

Summary: This is a brilliant hostel and I had a great time there.
All the staff were super friendly and helpful. They were also very good at helping to get the party started. They organise events each evening at the hostel bar, and they also provide offers and recommendations for other places.
Bad points: The kitchen lacks A LOT of things. E.g. it didn't have bowls or anywhere near enough cutlery for the number of guests that were staying (and this was in low season).
Also, the music starts at 10am and doesn't stop till 11pm when the bar closes.
The choice of music was mostly excellent, but I heard some terrible music here too (e.g. annoying fidget house music), so that is something for them to think about.
Thank you to all the staff at Straw Hat. Nos vemos pronto!

Summary: Loved the playground area, big, open, clean, great to work and play! Top tier staff, customer service oriented combined with that bit of spice and playfulness you'd like to see at a hostel.
The dorms can be improved, bed situation is comfy but, can be elevated to match their competition in the area- Overall a great stay, and will definitely be back there next year <3
