Ukelele Hostel

swimming pool rocked. nice sunny patio with a massive bougainvillea covered part to eat. wonderful staff who mostly were able to communicate in one of the languages I spoke, viz. English, and who immediately helped me find a notary in a law office nearby. new pillows. toilets, sink and shower in one room. bright and airy room. visa accepted. internet worked with some hiccups in service. beautiful old building with lovely wood interior of spacious rooms. many seemed to have breakfast which only lacked eggs. laundry a block away. easy walk to the beach or downtown. bus to bus station across the street. decorative arts and andes museums were the best.

building needs a new roof, electricity, plumbing. everything needs a good cleaning with bleach especially the walls which then need to be painted. mattresses need to be replaced. sheets a tad threadbare. kitchenware needs to be bleached, more bowls added, and pots upgraded with pot holders available. more outlets in rooms would help tremendously. some residents were not terribly civilized in terms of cleaning up their smoking and drinking ashtrays, bottles and cups after themselves. gaucho museo is being renovated. lovely independent cat may be an issue for those allergic.

- comfortable bed - clean rooms - good aircondition - the swimming pool looked nice but we didnt use it - the staff was helpful

- the shower had little power, but it was warm enough - they only have one bathroom at our floor (at least what we knew of) - the kitchen seemed a little dirty

everything was nice

bathroom was missing toilet paper

The house is two storey and old with lovely architecture and features. It’s an easy walk to Centro and the old town. Staff speak English and are friendly and helpful

It’s a bit sad because of its age. Bathrooms have good hot water but this place could do with some love
