Lonely Planet review

Loki is owned by expats who rescued this national monument from near ruin, then transformed it into a convivial place to put your rucksack down for a few days. Above-average backpacker amenities include some of the best hot showers found anywhere in this price range.

Since opening a short time ago, tales of this hostel have spread like wildfire among backpackers, especially those on long-haul trips around South America. A lot of hard work has gone into restoring this 450-year-old colonial building. Over the centuries, its courtyards have seen plenty of bloodshed and rebellion, but it's nothing but fun that haunts the premises these days. In addition to a variety of basically furnished private rooms and mixed and single-sex dormitories, the hostel has a shared kitchen and TV room, safe lockers for your gear and free Internet access. Your only complaints (besides legendary hangovers) might be that the rooms are chilly and you'll need to walk up a steep cobblestone street to reach the hostel.
