Hostal Ten to Ten Puerto Vallarta

Llegué a Vallarta el día 15 de enero de este año, un poco tarde a las 8:20 pm y el albergue de nombre ten to ten, estaba muy lleno en la parte del restaurant y me tardaron en dar la cama donde iba a estar 4 cuatro noches, yo me duche y salí a comer y tomar unas cervezas, ya a las 2 de la mañana regreso para tratar de dormir y sorpresa fue imposible, el colchón estaba lleno de pulgas o chinches no se que animales eran, pero daba mucha comezón, me levanté y me duche, en la entrada al cuarto juntoo a los lockers en la parte de arriba había un líquido con indicación de insecticida ya casi a la mitad, lo cuál yo tome y exparsi por todo el colchón, espere unos minutos y ya casi durmiendo me volví a la cama, no se si por el cansancio pero desperté como a las 4 50 AM, y me rasque el cuello, el estómago y el brazo porque tenía mucha comezón y Vi que tenía muchos granos o ampulas. Ya mejor me desperté y espere que amaneciera y preferí ir a la playa, ahí trate de dormir hasta como las 8 AM y regrese al hostal y preguntar por el gerente o encargado para que me diera una solución. Lo único que hicieron fue cambiarme a otra habitación y hasta el día de mi salida me pude entrevistar con la encargado, menciono que yo había acosado a uno de sus trabajadores y que casi la culpa era mía, por eso yo jamás regreso a ese hostal con muy mala higiene y el personal grosero y mentiroso.

This is not the worst hostel I've ever slept in, but it is solidly the filthiest. And I've stayed in over 100. The only others that come close were in India. I'm sharing photos to illustrate. Do read this review in its entirety, otherwise you can't say no one warned you. The pictures you see on HostelWorld were clearly taken the day Ten to Ten opened. The place now is just a dump, because management appears to have made no effort to maintain it. My private room had a bed that was nearly broken and the headboard was a beat up piece of raw plywood glued to the wall. The walls themselves were horribly dirty and scuffed with random holes and screws sticking out of them. The door was as sturdy as a chintzy Ikea coffee table, so every tiny noise echoed through all night. The lock was also useless; I could have opened it with a metrocard in less time than I can sneeze. There were no windows and zero ventilation, only a weird lumpy mattress, translucent linens, a wall A\C that stubbornly wouldn't adjust and no blanket unless you requested one before the desk closed for the night. I got home at 11:15. Elsewhere it was obvious everything was the cheapest option possible: harsh fluorescent lights, rickety toilet seats and doors, beaten up old furniture, unusable cookware — all of it stained and dirty beyond repair. Bathrooms were dank and in too poor of repair to be cleanable, so there was mold everywhere. Faucets barely worked and were detaching from the counter. Rusty metal baskets hung over shower doors leaving orange stains where they made contact with plexiglass. There were weird smudges on bathroom walls, vomit on toilets, old stains from the stickiness left behind by old tape, musty smells, circles on the floor where some gooey liquid clearly dried and gathered dust no one cared to scrub away. The lounge areas were more of the same, except here I found junk everywhere and cords dangling from weird places. The ramen "restaurant" was also so gross I couldn't imagine eating a meal there. And just to be clear, I've comfortably eaten street food after handling monkeys. Add in bad security and broken wifi and we have one of the worst hostels I've ever seen. So how does one explain the glowing reviews? They all seem to shower praise on the managers — who really weren't friendly or helpful beyond the very bare minimum — so you do the math.

Fue mi primera experiencia en un hostal y la pase de lo mejor, desde el servicio que recibes al llegar, las personas que trabajan o brindan Servicio (Chris eres de las personas mas amables). Todo el espacio es muy limpio, y te ayuda a pasar el mejor tiempo posible,.
