I stayed here for 2 nights and found Andrea (the owner) to be friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the area. She went out of her way to make me comfortable and to give me advice about the town and neighboring villages and there was always delicious hot coffee available. In a country that does little in the way of recycling,... more
The lonely Planet can be hit and miss, but is always helpful in finding a place to stay. This time it was a miss for us. We choose to stay at the purple house to chill out from our long days of traveling. This turned out to not be the case for me! I just wanted to stop a put... more

I stayed at the Purple House last summer with my sister and had a great time. I thought Andrea (the owner) was very helpful- she has a very direct communication style that I appreciate, being from the east coast of the US! The hostel has a vast collection of information from other travelers all organized in books in the lobby,... more

At $20 per night in the private room, I was OK with what I got. I even paid 2 extra dollars for hot water in the shower and wish I hadn't chosen to pay the additional 2 dollars for cable TV on the very tiny TV set. The room was small though had a nice, comfortable bed. There was very... more
Again, we thank Trip Advisor for the opportunity to respond to this review, and to the writer for expressing his favorable experience and presenting some concerns. At the Purple House we are always interested hearing about any concerns of our guests while they're actually here at the hostel so we can take immediate action. We're saddened that the reviewer didn't...
I stayed here in October 07 and to be honest I have no real complaints about the hostel itself. The woman that owns the place can be quite annoying and overbearing though and the obsession with purpul was too much. Not really a place that I felt comfortable in and I got the hell out of there the very next... more

We would also like to mention that in October 2007 and 2008 (the dates of stay that the reviewer posted) we were not...
This hostel was located in the suburbs of David. It was a good hostel as for the set up, internet, kitchen etc. but the owner made the experience unpleasant. David is a terribly humid city. Fans are a must. Each time we turned the fan on in our room to cool it down, we would come back to find the... more
