I enjoyed the vibe of the people and specially staff, they were very welcoming and friendly, always organizing adventures for each day. Location was perfect for all we planned it's close to parties, beaches, restaurants, etc.

The air condition should run all day as the place is super hot and the price on my reservation didn't match the final price i had to pay. Also they were receiving only cash which made it more difficult :(

What a great hostel! Extremely clean, soap and hand towels fully stocked in all the bathrooms. Good locations, simple breakfast included, filtered water to top up bottles and lovely roof terrace. Friendly, social hostel.

Extra cost for luggage storage if after checkout. This didn't affect us but may be worth noting for some travellers if this is a service they need to use.

The fact that they organize activities is something you definitely appreciate. The breakfast is good, eggs, coffee, toasts or cereal and some fruits, In the beds I think there were many mosquitoes, but it is not something that the hostel can control, I took my own repellent and had no problem, the location is unbeatable.

The warm welcome from the entire team, location with proximity to everything, plenty of room to lounge & rooftop deck to enjoy the view of the ocean and sunsets to connect with travelers from all over the world, Breakfast included fresh fruit and nice coffee to start the day, cleaned twice or more daily with comfortable beds and AC if needed.

Everything was excellent in my opinion. I left feeling happy with my stay.

Wicked location and great group of people. The daily activities are fantastic as you it’ll take you places you likely wouldn’t go yourself, highly recommend. Aircon in the rooms was beautiful once turned on.

Upstairs bar wasn’t open due to a large school group

Casa Kraken was my first experience in a hostel. The staff were always super friendly and hung out with guests when they weren’t working. The cleanliness exceeded expectations and the location was close to everything. I’ll be back!
