Nómada Eco Hostel

Location was decent and reasonably priced for the room size

Staring at menstrual cup samples over breakfast table. Checking in when I was charged 2,000 usd and took a week to recover (mind me am back packing) and lastly the yet last untrained volunteer chasing me for the payment I did already at 7 am with Uber waiting. Recycling award given likely on the ground of having differential trash cans scattered across all property (read everywhere). Way to many volunteers ratio compared to guests adding to the cost cutting “environmental friendly” exercise. I honestly hope the good reviews that lead me here are not driven by some bias as just my own utterly unconvenient individual experience. Suggestion to management : while volunteers are clearly a way to save cost, kindly ensure they are fully trained, not occupying the lot and ensuring that guests of all types ( we are in an amazing diverse world after all ) are treated with respect.

The most "eco" part of the hostel is it's zero waste tea set up in the morning.

No keys given upon check in. I asked about how to enter at night and was assured somebody would always be at the desk at night if I rang the bell. When I actually did return to my hostel at night nobody answered the bell and I had to actually climb the gate to get back inside, and it being late at night and being a solo female traveler in a dodgy part of town this left me really unsettled. Additionally, the "beautiful view" and "private balcony" on the 5 person dorm are absolute baloney. The view is nothing more than the street outside and the balcony is literally just a window, you can't walk out on anything at all. Not worth the splurge. Room was super small and I felt on top of the other patrons, and my backpack didn't fit in the provided locker. Only 4 bathrooms with showers attached means there they are all constantly full, good luck if you have to pee in the middle of the night or you need to use the bathroom when you wake up. To top it all off, the hostel is pretty far from the tourist sites and fun parts of the city one actually wants to see. Next time, I'm staying somewhere in the Cerros and skipping this one.
