Small and basic
Very small and basic, holes in the mosquito net, no soap in the bathroom, couldn’t flush the toilets, breakfast was nice, friendly staff. You leave a deposit when you check in, in case u lose the key. Nowhere to park. Short walk to the beach. Free cold water. Was okey but wouldn’t really recommend.

Muy lindo Hostel La Ballena, estuvimos en el primer piso,tres noches , se comparte la cocina. tiene un comedor muy lindo y amplio . Esta muy limpio . Convivimos muy tranquilos, con personas de muchos paises distintos. La gente que atiende en el lugar es muy cordial. Lo recomiendo . Cerca de la playa , se llega caminando, esta en la calle principal. Es segura la zona. Buen precio . Respetan horarios para dormir.
