Nice new hostel close to everything in Huacachina

We stayed one night at the hostel and had no complains. The showers worked well, dinner options and the food and drinks were good and we slept comfortably. The music was quite loud but we had been warned as its a hostel meant for a younger clientele but it didnt bother us too much. Overall good stay and good value for money. Staff were friendly and let me borrow an iphone charger for the night which I appreciated!

Everything was amazing and the staff was so so great. The only thing I would say is that even though they do warn you that it’s a party hotel and the music will be loud, it’s way way louder than I expected and the earplugs don’t do much to cover it. We only stayed one night so it was totally fine for us but keep that in mind. Also they say breakfast is included but that’s just coffee and cereal. The rest you have to pay for! But those are small details! Overall it was an awesome place and the staff was so cool! ❤️

If you want a proper party hostel, this is for you. Where the hotel turns into a club with bouncers and ticket sales, starting at 4 pm and doesn’t stop until 4 am. We stayed here 3 nights which was way too long - it is impossible to get any sleep here unless you’re passing out drunk at 4 am for the whole bed shakes with the speakers. I would recommend one night here while the party environment is exciting, anything else is way too much. All the reception staff were lovely but the barman with sunglasses was very rude. On my arrival I asked in Spanish for 2 beers and he either didn’t quite hear me over the deafening music or my Spanish wasn’t perfect but he got me one beer from the fridge he was stood next too. When I said sorry could I have one more please he had a full on go at me! The most ridiculous thing is the beer fridge was an arm reach away, hardly back breaking to grab another one!

It’s a party hotel and they had karaoke night when we stayed and it was very loud. The employees are the ones who were louder, understandable because they would like people to stay and order drinks and food. Good thing that the electricity went off, karaoke night finished earlier. Power didn’t come back until after a few hours.

Beautiful and Noisy

The location is perfect and the room was very clean. The bed was very comfortable, but the listing said it was for a room with 3 twin beds and that is not an option. They also did not require anyone to uphold the quiet hours starting at midnight. It was very noisy all night long.

Had a great stay.

Great atmosphere with lots of activities and friendly staff. The place is not built for any kind of rain - the downpour we experienced highlighted the lack of waterresistant roofing and water ingress into the suite. Noise from the underground bar was also a bit bothersome.

Great for solo travellers who want to get stuck in

The bar staff are so moody and miserable - they care more about people who get involved in their activities and then buy drinks. Pool was decent. Was extremely noisy trying to sleep with late night music but tbf they were bangers. Good location. Don’t book through them, there is cheaper next door. Lunch food is decent.
