We did not like this hostel at all! It was dirty and smelled bad. We only stayed one night but wouldn´t go back. Check out their sister hostel, Bellavista down the road.

not many people staying in the hostel when i was there but otherwise, hostel is good, very cold in the communal room but luckily on my last night they put the log burner on! Also cold in the morning but luckily there is a very lovely duvet and a blanket to keep you warm! Not far from town, around 15/20mns walk.

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!

What a great hostel! The staff are so friendly and helpful {thanks Rodrigo}, the facilities are great, the breakfast is nice and the atmosphere couldnt be beaten. We made many new friends and will definitely be back to visit one day!

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.
