The hostel was cold in the morning and at night. The shared TV area in particular could have done with a heater. Otherwise it is a good place to stay, really close to restaurants and the train station.

Staff was really helpful. A few annoying drunken men, but good overall!

Hostal was excellent, nice warm atmosphere, staff were the beat feature....very knowldegable and helpful to travellers. The only complaint I have is the area is very niosy. The hostal and surronding area, has a very fun party kind of atmosphere. This is great if you want to sit on the patio with a beer, or go out drinking all night but not so great if you have to catch a plane early the next day. Or if you are exhausted from travel and want your sleep. This is not something staff can control.

Great hostel with excellent facilities and in a really good location. Only comment would be that the bathrooms needed a bit of a facelift, but otherwise all was good!

A great hostel with a relaxed vibe and nice common areas. It is conveniently located near many nightclubs and great restaurants. My only complaint is that the hostel needed more bathrooms. Overall, I would definately recommend La Chimba to fellow backpackers.

We really enjoyed our stay at La Chimba. The staff were really friendly and helpful and spoke English! The only thing i would improve were the downstairs showers-i didn't like the way they only had curtains across them and no doors. Otherwise, it wa great!

We had a great stay here, the wine tasting and BBQ were a great way to meet other travellers. The staff were friendly, spoke great english and helped us plan day trips, bus tickets etc.

We had an awesome time at La Chimba. The atmosphere is fantastic, low-key and fun. The staff is very knowledgeable about the area and activities to satisfy all kinds of interests. Everyone should hang out in the common room. It's a great way to meet fellow travelers. All in all, a great experience.
