Bigfoot Hostel

León


With kitchen access, a miniature swimming pool, freshly made mojitos on offer, and spacious dorms and rooms with ample, secure luggage storage, this place is appealing. It's also well organised: staff run numerous tours and shuttles daily. There’s a good travelers’ vibe at this party hostel – staff swear the party shuts down at 10pm – and a sweet little cafe-bar out front.

Due to the political conflict in the country, the Bigfoot Hostel has closed its doors until further notice.
