The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
Hostal Wasi Masi is a super quiet and homey place to stay, close to all of the action in downtown Sucre.
The Location
Wasi Masi is located along a quiet street a few blocks from the main plaza. Getting around the city to see and do things from here is quite simple, and most things are within walking distance. The main bus terminal is about a twenty-minute walk in a mostly downhill direction or you can take a taxi.
Rooms and Bathrooms
The big dorm room here is excellently structured in that it is long, and for every four beds you get an element of privacy, like it is its own little space. There are super large lockers at the foot of each bed where you can store your big bags securely and they provide you with a key for this. Each bed comes with a lamp, and there are power outlets next to each bunk for charging valuables. The mattresses themselves are a little old and do tend to sink in the middle, but unlike some, it is manageable and quite a comfortable sleep.
There are many bathrooms scattered throughout the hostel. All these bathrooms have toilet, sink, and shower. The showers run on gas and are for the most part deliciously and scaldingly hot. They clean the bathrooms daily and they are always kept looking in good order.
Common Spaces
There is a main courtyard, which is the centre point for the entire hostel. There are tables and chairs out here for you enjoy the sun and hang out with the many animals they have living here that are all super adorable. If it is too cold or wet outside, they have a television room with couches and chairs towards the reception where you can chill or more tables, chairs, and couches in the patio area for the dormitory.
The hostel has a small kitchen where you can cook yourself some meals and a supermarket located a block away for convenience. It is basic and has all of the basic kitchen utensils, but isn't highly stocked. If you're not feeling like cooking lunch, however, they have a restaurant out the front of reception, which serves a super cheap menu del dia every day, and they have free breakfast here in the mornings.
Summary
If you're looking to take a rest for a couple of days and just relax and enjoy some peace and quiet, this is the place to do it. The family that run the place are lovely people and very helpful and supportive. Oh, and they have cheap laundry, which is also a bonus. We cannot recommend the place enough.
