Ladera Norte Hostel

The host Santiago is great and helps where he can. Thanks again for taking us to the bus station! The hostel is very clean, the kitchen is pretty well equipped (I could even bake a cake), beds are comfy and we liked the private bathroom in the dorm. It's a good place to stay.   — Customer review (2012-03-24) Hostelbookers

The dorms are spacious with free lockers and the bathroom in my dorm was excellent. The wifi is also really quick and it works throughout the whole hostel. The staff are very helpful and friendly and offer lifts to the centre.   — Customer review (2012-02-23) Hostelbookers

Nice place, spacious, quiet, safe and clean. Friendly staff. Excursions offered (nice alternative to touristic tours offered by agencies in the city centre). Location still good, aprox. 10 min walking distance to reach the main street and the lake.   — Customer review (2011-12-20) Hostelbookers

Dorms and common rooms nice and spacious, spotlessly clean - felt like home away from home! Santiago was a good host, no issues with overstaying check-out time, and he even gave me a lift to the bus station!   — Customer review (2011-11-29) Hostelbookers

I was the only guest, so I had a private bathroom! (nice for once)   — Customer review (2011-11-18) Hostelbookers

The hostel was clean and safe. The common area was spacious and the kitchen was well equipped. Also, it is close to hiking areas, which is nice.   — Kari Borowiecki (2011-11-02) Hostelbookers

The hostel is fantastic! Great rooms with heated floor and hot showers! Everything is so clean! The kitchen is nice and so are the social areas. You can play table tennis, ps2 and even basketball! There are big lockers and even a security system to get into the hostel. Staff and owner were great! It is fun and the best place to stay in San Martin for sure.   — IGOR TENORIO LEITE (2011-09-22) Hostelbookers

It was really clean and the owner gave us a private room when we only paid for a dorm. He was super helpful also   — Customer review (2011-09-12) Hostelbookers

Really good communcal spaces, very friendly and helpful staff, really comfortable rooms with lovely underfloor heating :-)   — Customer review (2011-05-30) Hostelbookers

Nice welcome, quiet and clean. Contrary to what other people have said, we found the staff to be perfectly friendly and helpful. We asked for a restaurant recommendation and were extremely happy with our meals. Also, small detail, but we did get towels and a little bar of soap (this website currently reports that there is a small charge for towels). Internet worked well. More of a budget hotel than a hostel -- there's a kitchen but didn't seem like a great place to meet people. Floors were heated!   — Customer review (2011-05-29) Hostelbookers

While I stayed there in March, there where not so many other guests - so it was kind of calm. Though, I talked quite a bit with them and the staff - so I had a good time. The kitchen was big and the bathrooms really nice. It was great that the staff prepared breakfast very early in the morning (5.30), because we needed to catch a bus.   — Customer review (2011-03-21) Hostelbookers

The staff were really friendly and helpful.   — Customer review (2011-03-13) Hostelbookers

The kitchen is well stocked and clean - plus they compost which is awesome. The hosts were very friendly and helpful (although no english is spoken). They arranged to have coffee (real not instant) ready for us when they found our we were leaving very early. Good lounge areas - good social spaces...which turned out to be a bad thing.   — Customer review (2011-03-06) Hostelbookers

- Santiago is the nicest, most genuine hostel owner out of the ~30 we've met. He drove us to the bus station, he invited us to dinner with his friends, and when I was sick he did some sort of mental focus thing to heal me. - Clean and fairly new building and rooms. - Spacious.   — Customer review (2011-02-18) Hostelbookers

The location is a ten minute walk from the bus station, so not the most central but i personally oved the location, in a quiet residential area. The main common room is full of comfy seating and things to do, and the kitchen is really big and clean. The staff are lovely.   — Customer review (2010-12-09) Hostelbookers
