"Had an amazing stay at Alma Boutique Hostel! The cleanliness and new facilities were top-notch - it's clear the hostel takes pride in its upkeep. The owner was proactive and attentive, making sure everything ran smoothly. The only minor thing I noticed was that some light seeped into the room, particularly in the upper dorm, despite the shades. This might be a bit disturbing for some guests. Other than that, I'd give Alma Boutique Hostel a solid 10/10. The pros far outweigh the cons, and I'd highly recommend this hostel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable, and well-managed place to stay. Great job, Alma!"

What a lovely place!🥺 The staff is very kind and helpful, and the room is clean, safe, and spacious. The maintenance is superb—we loved the large lobby area. The hospitality is outstanding, and I truly appreciated it. They are equally kind to both locals and foreigners. The best part is that I had a chance to support their prevention programs, as they use the hostel’s profits to fund these initiatives. That means a lot to me. I encourage everyone to book a reservation at this hostel and help support these meaningful programs. Thank you. 🙏

This place has such an amazing atmosphere. The staff is incredibly friendly, and everyone is having such a good time everywhere, you literally don't need to leave the hostel to have fun. It is very close to the beach, which is not crowded at all. The free vegan dinners 3 days a week are also amazing, so was the karaoke night!

The facility is located in a central location. All the employees, especially Anthony, were very friendly, warm and understanding. As my flight was late, they helped me wait and put my stuff. Coffee and pasta were very good. I sincerely recommend this safe and friendly hotel. It is also a very safe family environment for solo female travelers. Thanks for everything!!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
