The hostel is clean, in a beautiful location on the hillside, with an easy small walk up the steps to reach. We stayed a few nights and had breakfast there most mornings. Fresh fruit and juice, coffee and homemade banana bread. Rooftop terrace has sublime views over the bay and zona romantica, day or night. Reception desk is very nice, Yasmin has great English! Try and get an upstairs room with a view. Economy room is dark and needs air, but you get what you pay for. Great stay, would visit again!

Great very basic room
This was a last minute quick trip for us! We love the area perfect for walking everywhere the hotel is nice but very basic like bare bone basic but overall has everything you need! You do have to walk up a few stairs and a little hill but not bad at all! If you are looking for frills don’t book here. If you are looking for a descent clean room in a great area this is your place! And the price is great we will stay here again

Perfect location and great view
High climb up on a steep hill there is an incredible view from the King Suite. The bed was comfy. AC worked well. The room needs new curtains and there was a bad smell. Shower head needs to be replaced and lowered for adjustment. Had to ask for towels and a blanket. Toilet tank did not have a top and there was nowhere to put toilet paper. Daily staff spoke only Spanish in this high tourist section with many Americans and Canadians.

Apparently got upgraded as my reserved room was still occupied. Have stayed at hotel before, this was better though always been acceptable. Really like the area, old town but close enough to everything. Staff very pleasant and efficient.

comfortable, amazing staff value for money
Cannot fault this place for the money. I arrived well before check-in 8am, after a very long bus ride from Michoacan the hospitality lady (Blas) welcomed me in, gave me fresh towels and I showered and felt 100 percent. I came back 2 hours later and the Argentinian guy at reception (Anthony) gave me the room early. The room was more than I was expecting and the breakfast was individually made, although a little small. I cannot rate this hotel more highly just on the level on the customer service received. There was a new girl at reception who I have forgotten her name but again was very welcoming. I know this review reads as if it was the best hotel in the world. Of course it isn't. But a note to the management, you have great staff, I hope you can keep them. Out of a three week trip to Mexico touching from Puerto Vallarta to Michoacan this is my only review I am leaving. I do not impress easily folks. Enjoy your travels and Hi to the staff at the Puerto Vallarta Suites, Saludos Andrew

best value for your money
we stayed here for 5 nights of this 4 floor "hostal". we are 57 yrs old and mobile which you must be to do the steep stairs. we have never stayed in a hostal but from what i gather, it would surpass most. we did not go "down" to the 1st or 2nd floor to see those rooms as the reception was between the 2nd and 3rd floors but the recommendations are the rooms are nicer and more spacious as you go up. ours was on the 3rd floor and we had a view of the ocean and watched the dolphins playing from our nice balcony. the bed mattress was decent and the private shower a nice size. only complaint is that the toilet had some minor smells due to seepage, thus the 4 stars and not 5. we checked pricing at other hotels and this place was less than a quarter than most. the area is very safe. we will return. tks monica and staff

Perfect spot for a solo traveler
My stay at the hostel was defiantly great. I'd love the place and its location and the people who worked there. At first I was but hesitant from the previous reviews how the rooms are been stuffy and musky, bad wifi, bad service and all other negative reviews. However once I got there they gave me the basement room wich at first I felt bit wired about but then I definetly started to grown on the place. Call me wired if you like but the bathroom had a very unique rustic touch which in my opinion add more character to the room. Definetly worth the money I paid and specially for a first time hostel person I was impressed. The wifi and the reception people were always there. Overall great place can't complain about anything. Just love the place. If I go to PV again I would definetly stay at this place.

Great Views for and Excellent Price
Views from king bed, full bay view room and roof deck were outstanding. Friendly, English speaking staff. A/C and Internet worked fine. Furnishings were minimalist, stylish and attractive. Noise from discos on a Wednesday night was not a problem. Breakfast of a large fruit plate, juice and a pastry was included. Enjoyed my stay.

This place was awesome.
We had a great stay! We were in the bay view room with king bed. Beautiful view and a nice balcony/deck on the roof top. There was a disco party music type place a couple streets down that might bother some people but, it really isn't that loud and it didn't bother us. There is a kitchen and fridge if you want to use that or you can go out and eat in the town. We didn't swim at the beach out in fron because it's difficult to get in the water...possible but more difficult. This place was awesome.

Great Option
I really liked this hostel. However, there was no door to separate the bathroom from the bedroom - only a curtain. Thankfully there was a bathroom upstairs too but it was a little bit awkward not having a door. But our room had air conditioning! And there was an amazing view from the roof. We sat up there and watched the sunset while drinking beer. The location is right where the boardwalk begins.

Inexpensive and wonderful!
The big thing about this place is their staff. Monica and. Santiago were very helpful to me. They speak good English, and they are available. Can cook your own meals easily, large common room. The view is amazing from the roof (and from the 3rd floor room I guess ) and the hotel is downtowns d very close from the centro (restaurant, malecon, central place, local beaches). The room was not expensive at all and my 3 nights here were quiet, except we can hear the pirate boat at 9:30, which we don't hear that much because of the A/C or the fan ! I strongly recommend this for solo, couple or even families (There's rooms with more than 2 beds) who wants to be in the centre of things but sleep in the quiet without taking a transportation ! One little thing : there is stairs to go up the main entrance but hey ... The view will shorten your breath way more than the stairs , trust me !!

Ok hostel
This hostel wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. First off, the hostel was a little difficult to find, since it is on a hilly street where cars cannot drive up. After finding it, we went to check in where the staff tried to convince us to upgrade to one of their best rooms for a slight price increase. They were persistent but we declined. I mean, we're only there to sleep, really. The hostel itself felt very empty and there were nights where it felt like we were the only guests. It was slightly eerie. The wifi signal was nearly non-existent if you stay in any of the lower rooms facing towards the street. The private double-bed room was small, but it did have AC so that was a big plus! One thing that really irked me about the staff/how they run their operation was that when I tried to check out a day earlier than what I booked they told me that they couldn't refund/reduce the price. I would have to pay for all 5 days even if I only stayed for 4. They claimed it was because I booked through Expedia, and Expedia charges them fee's. However, when I booked on Expedia I didn't make any payments or deposit on the actual website. They got their deposit through Paypal. Very sketchy. Other then that, it was an OK stay.

staff attempted to rob me at 3am
i woke up at 3am to a staff member in my room going through my bag. He then told me that he was there to tell me another guest was looking for me. The manager was also sleeping in the hotel that night. Not sure if they are working together or not, but she seemed genuinely upset at what had happened. The next day I was offered a refund (actually 8 pesos less than what I had paid) for my remaining 2 days, which I had prepaid upon my arrival. I accepted the refund and went to another hotel for my last couple days.

Wonderful Stay, Stunning View, Warm Staff
I go to Vallarta often and this was the best bay view ever. The bed was good, the sheets and towels soft. The soap was unique, I want to buy it. There was no AC, only a fan but that was enough. No TV, no phone and no mirrors, which I loved. I made tea in the communal kitchen and used their filtered water avoiding plastic bottles completely. My room set up, number 12, had a bathroom without walls so it's best for a solo traveler or an intimate couple. I'm in my 60's and felt comfortable here.

A good basic stay
We stayed there in sept. 2015. The really friendly staff welcomed us after climbing a ”few” stairs. Make sure you roadworthy;) Early check in was no hassle at all, the room was clean but only one power socket isn't sufficient today. Worth mentioning is the overpowered air-condition, it manages freezer like temperatures if desired. Nice view down the street and to the sea, which is about 3 min walk.
