Escogimos este hostal porque ponía que estaba en una zona segura de la ciudad. Al llegar ya vimos que la calle no nos daba muy buena espina, preguntamos a la chica de recepción y nos dijo que no había problema en salir solas y volver teniendo en cuenta que no fuera muy tarde, así que le hicimos caso. Salimos a las 17:00 y cuando llevábamos dos minutos andando vimos a un señor sin pantalones masturbándose a plena luz del sol en medio de la calle. Salimos corriendo obviamente. Al volver, eran las 21:00, nos cruzamos con un guía que nos dijo que no fuéramos para esa zona que no era segura, teníamos que pasar por ahí sí o sí para llegar al hotel. Llegando a la calle donde nos hospedábamos, nos encontramos a un hombre corriendo con otro detrás que le seguía con un bate y le dio una paliza. Cuando se calmó la situación nos fuimos corriendo y pedimos un taxi para un recorrido de menos de un minuto. Cuando llegamos al hotel se lo dijimos a la chica de recepción y ni se inmutó, jamás volvió a preguntar ni como estábamos ni pidió perdón. Tanto ella como su compañera apenas nos miraban, las saludábamos y ni respondían. Pedimos recomendaciones para contratar tours y nos dijo que lo hicieramos todo por nuestra cuenta, que no valía la pena. Obvio con el miedo que teníamos no íbamos a hacer nada sin guía, y cuando nos dimos cuenta tenían un montón de tours recomendados pero no nos dijo nada. El último día hicimos un tour y el guía nos dijo que esa calle es de las más peligrosas de la ciudad

- Muy cómodo, las habitaciones super limpias y organizadas, el personal muy amable y eficiente hubo un tema con la luz pero se resolvió rapidísimo. - Esta sobre una calle poco concurrida lo que la hace ver medio insegura pero super bien, y esta muy cerca del puerto y el parque Bolívar, donde puedes tomar buses a los distintos puntos de interés.

Absolutly great! I didn't want to live!!!

Excellent!!!! The best hostal ever!!!! Very clean, very nice and helpful staff. Great bed (a double bed very confortable with own light and 2 plugs!) even in a dorm!!! The food as the restaurant is also very good and the 2 guys are very nice and smily! Very well situated, one or 2 blocks adn you are in the center. So very good to visit the center enough far to avoid the noise!!! The hostal is also very nice (plants, hammacks..) I really recommand this place! Thanks to all the receptionists who were adorable!

Wonderful hostel

Tunido has everything a good hostel needs. Only the street gets a bit dodgy with homeless people and junkies at night. Nice deco.
