Casa Rosada Reviews

Casa Rosada is a great, comfortable hostel/hotel that caters to everything you could want, so much so that you might find yourself staying a few extra days but never leaving the hostel grounds.

The Location

A left turn from the docks and a ten-minute walk along one of Livingston's main roads brings you to the hostel; it is well marked and there are signposts beforehand to let you know it is one hundred metres ahead of you. If you go straight from the docks and up the reasonably steep hill, you enter into the heart of Livingston proper, at least the touristy part. Both these streets are lined with restaurants, pop-up eateries, and stores, and if this walk seems too much in the heat of the day there are plenty of tuk tuks around to give you a lift. Also, keep in mind that if you tell the lancha bringing you into Livingston that you are staying at Hotel Rosada it will drop you off right on the hotel's docks, allowing you to avoid the hot walk with your luggage and the touts who'll harass you at the in-town docks.

Rooms and Bathrooms

Rooms are pretty varied with a single, around fifteen-bed dorm that has its own bathroom/shower as well as lockers; there aren't enough lockers for everyone, however, and you should bring your own lock. Private rooms are set-apart bungalows coming in double-bed and two double-bed varieties; some have private bathrooms, some do not. There is only one bathroom/toilet on the upper level where the dorm room is, but there are a lot more separate bathrooms and toilets available on the ground floor. Bathrooms and toilets are very clean, almost too spacious (just being able to reach the toilet dispenser from the bowl is quaint), and homey.

Common Spaces

Common spaces are simply excellent -- the dorm room is plenty roomy and has a few scattered couches and chairs, while downstairs there is the veranda area with couches, the dining area/restaurant area, and finally the dock with its plethora of hammocks. Everything is dangerously comfortable and all the nice relaxing areas make it easy to meet other travelers, but it also lets you get a little peace and quiet by yourself if that's what you are looking for. The only thing lacking is a kitchen.

Summary

This is a great option for all but the most penny-pinching of travelers. If you want to go the all-inclusive resort route, the hotel is happy to cater to that with dockside pick-up and drop-off, plus the restaurant. For those on a tighter budget, sleeping and relaxing in the hostel before heading out to visit the comidas and sights of Livingston is absolutely an option as well.
