Reviews
We’ve stayed at this hostel at our last trip. It has a nice scoring on Booking and a somewhat fair price compared to other rooms. However, there were couple of issues with the room that They have to address. The wooden floor in our room was sticky from the start. It was hard to move around the small room when you feel your boots/socks sticking to the floor. Walls are paper thin, we could hear someone playing games in room next to us on their phone like it was in our room. You could hear every squeak of the bed in adjacent room. The place and the staff are really nice, but our room was far from good.
Clean place with good breakfast. Pay in cash dollars as owners exchange to collones isn't good. I was reading a book in the lounge and he turned the light off on me a paying guest. Kitchen closed until 10am but noise from plates and cleaning still wakes you if you have room by kitchen. Even an alarm at 530am one morning. It's a 90 minute walk into city centre to see the few sights.. towel included good hot water showers.
I've stayed there 4 times. The Manager is quite a character but he is fair, respectul and deeply dedicated to his business and everyone's comfort. The area is super nice and quiet, which makes the dorm and private rooms very calm and relaxing. The Kitchen is a bit small but amazingly equipped. One major plus of In the Wind is that the staff works nonstop to make sure everything is ordered and clean. If you understand order and common sense, this place is an A+ environment wise. People always leave happy! I have noticed this
Sweet hostel, friendly owner and delicious breakfast. Free coffee every morning too. Everything was spotlessly clean and the beds were comfortable. Nice area close to the university with lots of food options nearby, would definitely stay again. Very hospitable with leaving bags etc. thank you!!
