Great value. Decent location. A little 'frumpy,' like not paying attention to daily maintenance... But me thinks the place is 'in transition,' internet spotty, leaking showers, dirty floors, ugly totally uninviting entrance. But once inside, the room was quite acceptable and beds very comfortable. And a good nights' sleep is what it is all about. Ken A., from Canada ~ 20th Sep 2009

The Hostel Toruma was extremely sufficient. It was not overly exciting, but it was in a nice neighborhood and was close to some great restaurants. The biggest issue we had was the noise all night from the street. It was never particularly quiet in the rooms at the end of the hostel. Street noise and the newly added train are loud and persistent. Also, ask for a sheet to go with your blanket. You will stay warmer. Beautiful building though and pretty friendly staff who know the area well. Andrew, from USA ~ 2nd Aug 2009

The bathrooms were a disaster and for the bed only a blanket was provided, no top sheet. Janet, from USA ~ 23rd Jul 2009

Great place to stay for a few nights. Not too many thrills but that is what I needed for these two days. Lily, from USA ~ 22nd May 2009

It was a great hostel, with really helpful friendly staff, we just went during the quiet season, so there wasnt much of an atmosphere, I will stay here again. nicola, from England ~ 20th May 2009

This hostel was really nice. Clean, free internet, nice pool and restaurant. There aren't a lot of fun things in the area, but it was a good place for us because we were just passing through. Sarah, from USA ~ 24th Mar 2009

The hostel and my room were nothing like the pictures I saw on the web. The restaurant was closed and we werent notified of this. There was no hot water and the guy at the front desk didnt even try to help us when we told him this wasnt what we had paid for. Then I emailed the management and he blame it all on me. NEVER again will I stay there, I already told many people not to stay there ever. Read Owner Comments Cristal, from Mexico ~ 20th Mar 2009

Even though they say that they have hot water, it isn't hot! Just be prepared for cold showers no matter what time of day. Other than that, the airport pickup was a life saver and it is generally clean. The pool is only a very small one but was nice nonetheless. Free internet is also a great perk.

Good place to stay if you have a group of people, otherwise not too much to do. Daniel, from USA ~ 13th Mar 2009
