Volunteering at the hostel was a very good experience for me to practice my Spanish and to meet lots of people! Many of the staff speak Spanish mainly so it's great for this purpose. I also enjoyed the access to dance classes, having the choice to get private lessons at the hostel in my spare time. The work is straightforward and not difficult. It's also in an area that is in good proximity to both touristy and local restaurants/bars/shops. Free breakfast was always super filling ! The only thing that took away was maybe the insects in the building, having to fight off mosquitos very often

It was a great experience, chill place, good vibes, nice guests. The work is pretty easy, shifts can be arrange with other volunteers. The place is well located in the north of the city, outside of tourist areas so you can have a local experience but it is still close enough to get there on a 15-20 min walk. Somethings like dance lessons are not free but you do get discounts on it and yoga lessons are not available
