Hostel Central

I never stayed there but lived very close by and parked my motorcycle for 2 years around here. Met so many interesting travelers from around the world and a few less than desirable people. The idea of my trash catapult was developed right here. Never to worry about taking out the trash. Just fire it off and goodbye downtown trash hello Elizabeth Taylor's restraunt.

Mainly didn't like the bathroom, full of hairs and other gross grimey stuff. I felt the managers were more interested in sitting around staring at the TV than providing any service and they were just plain awkward. But yeah it wasn't worst place I've stayed.

In two words, "the best". In all ways; this hostel - total eight beds - the host family, who live on the premises are welcoming and provide everything one could hope for or expect from this type of back-packing travel experience. The kitchen is fine and the outdoor terrace soothing and breezy. The location perfect, within few blocks of everything; the Inglesia, the square with performances, restaurants, pharmacies, shops and most important of all...the Malacon! For everythig else there are the local buses. BTW, all of the 'day trips' are worthwhile, but don't forget the 50-minute ride to the Vallarta Botanical Gardens which is amazing and wonderful!! (and plan to have lunch there; if you go on Sunday, there are some very talented musicians playing jazz, the Mexican way. P.S. the ONLY hing that would enhance this hostel experience even more is if the showers were upgraded.

Great vibe. Comfortable and spacious. Excellent location!

Llegamos al hostal a eso de las 8 a.m porque nos dijeron que nos podían recibir a esa hora pero cuando abrió la puerta una encargada nos dijo que hasta las 3 de la tarde podíamos acomodarnos y de muy mala gana nos atendió! Fuera de ese pequeño detalle tiene buena ubicación y el malecón está a dos cuadras, las camas son cómodas para el precio que se paga y un poco de más amabilidad con los nacionales no vendría nada mal ;)
