Had an amazing time in sunshine hostel, the girl who worked there went above and beyond in helping me with any issues. The owner was a top guy as well. Really good vibe to the place, make sure you stay here if you want to meet people

I travel constantly for work. I break up the monotony with a hostel every two weeks. You go to hostels cause they're fun, welcoming, and to meet others. Not here. This is one of the most toxic staffs I have seen in quite some time. Rude, nasty, condescending, etc. It was cold that night. Only had a sheet on my bed. When I asked for a blanket, the guy (who was the only one who made an effort) tossed one in my direction and walked off. Just plain weird! I walked away shaking my head. Spend the extra $15 and get a spot down the road. You'll be glad you did!

Friendly small hostel in excellent location

I enjoyed using Sunshine Hostel as a base to explore Palermo. The staff were friendly and, whilst facilities are pretty basic, they are well maintained, clean, and sufficient for a small hostel. I felt the vibe was pretty relaxed and friendly, too.

El hostal no vale la pena

Los cuartos no tenian aire acondicionado (en la descripcion del hostal dice que si tienen) no servian el desayuno por cuestiones de COVID, igual lo cobran...
