Cons: As mentioned by others, the location is not ideal if you want to be close to everything in Puerto Vallarta. It is not terribly far, however, from the beach and the Romantic Zone which can be walked to or a bus taken. A smattering of local restaurants and a convenient store are near the hostel.

Pros: The owner was a really nice guy, very engaging if you wanted him to be, and he was always improving the building and accommodations while while I was there (only open 5 months at the time, and an older building) so I got the impression that he cared about our environment. He also asked our (myself and the others staying there) opinions on improvement and management ideas to make our stay more enjoyable. The grounds themselves are unique and beautiful, and the building is a comfortable walk, bus, or taxi ride from the airport and most any other location you would want to visit in Puerto Vallarta.
