The hostel is conveniently located near the historic centre and a supermarket, making it easy to explore the city and grab any essentials. the rooms are spacious and the bathrooms are clean, with hot water showers. the breakfast is satisfactory and the terrace offers a nice place to relax with a view of the hill. the kitchen is well-equipped, with all the necessary utensils and plenty of stove plates.
The noise from the reception area can be bothersome, especially for those staying in rooms close by.

Great atmosphere and chance to meet other travelers. The kitchen has everything you need, and the hostel is close to supermarkets and bakeries. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and have warm duvets. Leaving backpacks in storage for free was a nice perk.

For the price we paid, our stay at Ukukus was excellent value for money. The room was comfortable, clean, and well-equipped, with a perfect shower and a cozy bed. The location in the historical center was ideal, with easy access to the main plaza and San Pedro Market. The staff, especially Ruth and Angela, were amazing hosts who went above and beyond to assist us, including arranging a private taxi during a medical emergency. The homely atmosphere and breathtaking views from the rooftop added to the overall experience.
The morning meal could have been improved with a wider variety of options.
