    Truly enjoyed my spotlessly clean and cheap room with a great view and private bathroom, as example. Its location in Copacabana was handy and exceptionally nice, short walk to the port where all boats leave to the islas, the bus terminal, lake, restaurant area and cathedral, and Isla Del Sol for a night.

    We loved how close this hostel was to the beach, making it convenient to take boat trips to the nearby islands. The location was also great, as it was closer to the street where everything happens, with easy access to restaurants and shops. The staff was friendly and accommodating, and the rooms were comfortable with clean bathrooms. The breakfast provided was a nice touch, giving us a good start to the day.

    The noise from other guests and lack of designated play areas for children can be quite bothersome.

    I recently stayed at a cozy hostel in Copacabana with a lovely lake view and friendly staff. My stay was for three nights and I had a comfortable and clean room. The family-run hostel provided warm blankets, fresh towels, and a TV in the room. The breakfast was continental but satisfying, and the location was conveniently close to the bus terminal and restaurant area. The hostel also had good wifi and a kitchen for guests to use.

    I do recommend this hotel.

    I had an absolutely incredible time staying at this hostel! The room was unbelievably clean, the family who runs the place were incredibly friendly , and the wifi was beyond amazing. The breakfast they provided was simply mind-blowing, and the hot shower was pure bliss. The blankets kept me so warm at night, and having fresh towels was such a nice touch. I loved having a TV in the room and a locker to keep my valuables safe. The kitchen was a great bonus, and the view of the lake was absolutely jaw-dropping. The location couldn't have been better, just a short 2-minute walk to all the best spots in town. I can't believe how much I got for such an affordable price. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

    The family-run hostel offers a warm and homely atmosphere, with friendly owners. the breakfast includes a nice selection of fruit salad, bread with butter and jam, juice, coffee, and tea. the location is within easy walking distance of the township, making it convenient to explore the area. the upgraded room with a lake and sunset view is spacious and comfortable, with bigger room space and comfortable beds. the rooftop offers a great view of the lake.

    Felt almost like at home, no reason to complain.

    Clean rooms with good amenities like towels - soap, and TV. Great location - only 3-5 minutes walk from the main street and beach. The friendly staff at Hostal Las Balsas provided helpful local insights. The breakfast at the hostel was sufficient and included bread - cereal - fruit - coffee/tea, and juice.

    Would recommend.

    The hotel had a charming and cozy ambiance, with beautifully painted walls and comfortable furniture. It created a homely atmosphere that made me feel at ease during my stay. The general areas of the hotel were well-maintained and clean, providing a pleasant environment for relaxation and socializing with other guests. Moreover, the hotel's accessibility for senior people was commendable. The location was convenient, with the main food street and the port within walking distance. This made it easier for me to explore the area and enjoy the local attractions without any difficulty.

    It would have been even better if there were more options and amenities specifically catering to senior guests. A small improvement I would suggest is to have handrails installed in certain areas of the hotel, such as the staircases and bathrooms, to ensure the safety and comfort of senior visitors.

    I keep going back because it's great! The staff helped me find my forgotten stuff. Everything I need is here: free Wi-Fi, luggage storage, 24-hour reception, bar/restaurant, laundry. Plus, it's pet-friendly and has non-smoking rooms. Can't wait for New Year!
