We were there during the off peak season so the hostel was pretty quiet, but besides that it was an awesome hostel to stay at. The staff were extremely helpful and fun to drink with! You get free breakfast as well as free dinner in your stay, and for that value you can't go wrong! Rooms and bathrooms were also... More

After backpacking through South America for 3 months, this is still one of the best hostels we stayed at on our entire trip. Free breakfast of fresh bread, fruits, juice, and coffee is served everyday, followed by dinner - anything from spaghetti bolognese to beef fried rice and curried chicken. Dinner is served around 7 or 8 when it's dark... More

I had trouble figuring out which hostel to stay at while in Candelaria but was really happy with my choice of Musicology. I was looking for a social hostel with a common area and the musicology fit the bill. They have a bar upstairs that servers 2-4-1 mojitos or rum and cokes for 6000 pesos! Thats a bit over $3usd...

This hostel has all the things that you want when travelling. Free Internet, free breakfast and dinner and it's only a short walk from the main attractions. The staff are friendly and helpful. However there's not much atmosphere and the beds aren't that comfy.

I absolutely love this place! For a start, not only do you get a free breakfast, but you also get a free dinner. Both are actually pretty good, making this hostel one of the best value places we have stayed. All of the dorms are different sizes, with the bigger ones being slightly cheaper. The 8 bedroom dorm actually has... More

Despite this we were emailed and told that our bed would only be reserved until 2pm.We then exchanged a few emails with the staff and all was confirmed for us to be arriving at 7.30pm. Upon arrival we felt an instant... More

Some parts of any review are personal opinions and of course are not "challengeable" but some parts are. To write about a place that it is run down when it is totally obvious by the pictures that it is not, already made me raise an eyebrow about the review. Forget what I think about the hostel, even if I wanted... More

Nice place, clean, good movie room, great value with free breakfast and dinner. The owner and all the staff are great except one guy, Fred the barman who takes offence if your spanish is not as good as his. Very rude, arrogant and because of him we cut our stay there and moved hostels. I thought hostels were about different... More
