The Hostelz.com Review - Genuine, independent review you can trust.
3600 Hostel is a friendly, quiet, and welcoming hostal. It's located in a convenient location, easily accessible to many touristic sights. It provides all the basic services well, such as a slightly above-average breakfast, fast internet, and knowledgeable staff to help plan activities.
The Location
Located in the trendy and safe neighbourhood of Sopocachi, this hostal is conveniently situated close to a lot of bars, restaurants, banks, and shops. There is also a food market nearby where guests can purchase local produce.
The hostal is located on a small and quiet street away from all the traffic and noise, but it is a small enough street that some taxi drivers might not even know of the street. The hostal is also located on an incline; there are several ways to get to it, either walking uphill via the street or the most direct route is taking several flight of stairs.
From the main plaza, Plaza Murillo, or other touristic sights like the Witch Market, it is about two kilometers away. This hostal is not directly close to any teleferico stations, but several stations can be reached with a walk or a quick taxi ride.
Rooms and Bathrooms
There are only dorm rooms available at this hostal. There are essentially three large rooms. Two large, mixed dormitory rooms with triple bunk beds, and one just for women with three single beds. The rooms are spacious and clean, but some of the beds have been well used. The large, mixed dormitory rooms are furnished really basically. Aside from the bunk beds, there is no other furniture. Each bunk does have its own private curtains though, and there are enough power plugs for everyone's electronics.
The bathrooms are located at the other side of the hostal, right beside the kitchen. For the entire hostal, there are only three en suite bathrooms, but somehow it works because there is rarely a line up to use to facilities.
Common Spaces
3600 Hostel has a large and comfortable common space. There are couches for guests to relax in, sets of tables for breakfast, and a grand and lovely open kitchen that is well-equipped. It is a fairly quiet and relaxed hostal and most guests seem to prefer casual drinks and conversation rather than lively drinking games.
Summary
3600 Hostel is a comfortable and clean hostal. Staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The hostal is very quiet though, sometimes only a several guests staying. It is also slightly more expensive than other hostals nearby.
