Having made a booking well in advance and with e mailed confirmation we were astonished to be told on arrival that there were no rooms available. We showed the reception staff the e mail from the owner of the property and also showed them that our booking was marked in their own reservation book, clearly visible on the reception desk.... More

My boyfriend and I booked two nights at Hostel Sweet Hostel based on the recommendation in the Lonely Planet guidebook. From our experience, it is apparent that the reviewer did not actually stay in the hostel or the place has seriously gone downhill. The good: The bed was large and comfortable, the shower in the private bath was spacious, the... More

Staff are kind. Bath rooms and bed rooms are not clean. More

we stayed here as the hostel we'd booked (Bambu) didn't have a room for us. Hostel Sweet Hostel is AWFUL. The double room was dirty, mouldy, the bed was horrible and the bathroom was disgusting. I would rather sleep outdoors than here. More

Our dorm was seriously cramped, smelly and dark. The bathrooms are really dirty and disgusting. Kitchen facilities terrible. The bread at breakfast was stale and there wasn't enough of anything for the few people staying at the hostel. Hostel Sweet Hostel has potential but seriously needs updating! More

Filthy and disgusting, smelt worse than anything i have ever known and the sheets were dirty, we actually found a large collection of ginger pubes. The room was freezing, anything listed on the website was fiction. NO WIFI! breakfast was abominable, cold coffee or cheap juice, and dry bread... More

There was NO security and the pool was filthy. The employees are nice but they need to update the place. I left after one night to a... More

So far this has been the worst hostel I've stayed in South America. Maybe I've been spoilt by Brazils breakfasts but a "great breakfast" is more than just bread, butter, cornflakes, milk, coffee and cordial (website says there is Ham, eggs, corn flakes, milk, bread, butter, jam, coffee, Tea, Juice and Fruits). Also basically the entire place was filled with... More

This hostel is in the Ok category, though suffering from the ready stream of visitors that come from a reference in a guide book. There is little need top make an effort. Not only was I allocated an already allocated and relocated to a less expensive room, the promised refund was not forthcoming. I was not the only person moved... More
