Arena Nest Hostel

Overall a disappointing stay. You have to make a lot of compromises. Eventhough the price is much higher than other Nest hostels you get much less. The main guy who is “working” at the reception also makes the beds and “cleans” the floor once a day. One time i wanted to go to the bathroom and noticed the floor was wet, so i wanted to return but that guy who is very very hyperactive and childish screams at me for “wanting to pass”. He is anything but professional. Since that he gave me the feeling of having a personal problem with me. Last day, I stayed in the common area a bit longer than my checkout time because i was waiting for a friend who had already tour and he asks me rudely and annoyed when to leave (left the dorm already). He made me feel very uncomfortable during the stay as if i’m staying in his personal house. Also forget about working remotely here, the guy plays extra loud music and doesn’t give a f. The rooms.. If you want to relate how a refugee feels, come here. A very small room for 10 ppl, you can’t use the “locker” without disturbing other roommates (spare room anyway) + no air conditioning and very stinky. In some hostels I go to my dorm to relax but here that isn’t possible, you get overwhelmed from the humidity and smell. In general there were only weird people here. 30+y old lost and bad mannered men. In Puerto Nest for example the vibe was very different and much much more welcoming. Good thing is there is a Suma market very close.

Very understanding following a change of program. Thank you.
