Alyss

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Don’t stay here. There are better options!!
We checked out after one sleepless night. Our room was so loud inside it felt like we were in a nightclub, but worse, because it was a mixture of 3-4 nearby clubs and bars music. The hostel itself hadn’t even started any live music yet when we arrived. I don’t know how the Hostel can actually charge money for this room, let alone nearly 100 dollars. The atmosphere was dead, the hostel is really big and not particularly communal. You’d be much better off in a cheaper and smaller place 5-10 minutes out of town. We checked out and were told we might get our money back if they let the room out again. They did sell the room but did not give us our money back. One of the managers was very rude about it saying that we were told it was a party hostel Nowhere on hotels.com does it call itself a party Hostel. This place is unfit for purpose. The wifi doesn’t work in the rooms. The kitchen was smelly and dirty. One of the cupboards smelled strongly of mould. There were no forks.

Please do not stay here! An absolute joke.
The single worst hostel OR any place I have ever stayed. So loud my partner and I were shouting to each other (I’m not joking) in the same bed. We were given ear plugs on check in but they were not even close to good enough. We were here for one night of 4 before we left, they refused to refund us. And it was a private room at $100/night There is no Wi-Fi any where near the bedrooms only the lobby and it’s intermittent. The free water station has been empty every time I’ve seen it. The bar is dead all evenings (we keep walking past to see if it’s better) so it’s not like there is even a good atmosphere there. I’ve worked in hostels and clubs whilst travelling and this one is like no other. The other salina hostels are much better. The kitchen has one knife, a broken fridge and broken microwave. The bedrooms are in between 3 clubs. I have attached a picture of where I would rather stay and spend my money. The manager is also unapologetic and rude.

Not as advertised. I called you all 2 times for a partial refund, but you keep giving me the runaround I did get the insurance. This property was not as advertised. This property was not as advertised to me. I had to move. They took my keys and said only you can give refund. Back and forth with just giving me a refund.

Great location if you can handle the loud music
If you are in Montanita to party, Selina is your place. The location in close to everything and the service from staff was actually very good. They have daily events and keep you updated. The downside to Selina is also the location. The clubs on both sides play loud music with heavy bass that reverberates through walls until 4am. Even wearing headphones playing white noise, it was near impossible to sleep until the music stopped at 4am.
