Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Adults only — This hostel doesn't accept children, so it won't suit families traveling together. The atmosphere is geared toward adults — social, sociable, and sometimes lively.
- No on-site parking — There's no mention of parking at the property, and the central location means guests arriving by car will need to sort out their own arrangements.
- Dorm beds are shared — The most affordable options are bunks in dormitories of 4, 6, 8, or even 12. Even with privacy curtains, you'll be sharing space with other travelers.
- Pets not allowed — If you're traveling with a dog or cat, you'll need to look elsewhere — Che Juan doesn't accept pets.
