The Barrel Hostel Popoyo

Review by hotel critic

As a 29-year-old architect from London, I find great joy in uncovering unique spaces that seamlessly blend history with modern design. My recent stay at a charming beachfront hostel was a delightful experience that catered to my favorites, including a vibrant lounge area and superb food options. The location was nothing short of fantastic, only a short stroll to the main surfing spots. The sunset views from the small decking area were spectacular, providing the perfect backdrop for unwinding after a day of exploration. The hostel's commitment to cleanliness and comfort was evident, with well-maintained rooms and daily housekeeping. I appreciated the attentive local staff, whose warmth enhanced the welcoming atmosphere. With affordable happy hour drinks and comfortable hammocks, my stay was both relaxing and enjoyable. This hostel combined the essential elements of hospitality and convenience, leaving me thoroughly satisfied and eager to return.
