Hostel Revolution is a great place to chill out for a few days - this is definitely not a party hostel, so if you're looking for a lively place to stay, look elsewhere! However, Matt the Aussie guy who owns the place, is friendly and very helpful and the hostel has everything you really need, including wi-fi, decent kitchen, hot showers, all for $7 a night, so its good value.

…already dark, and not wanting to try the multiple bus combinations required to get to the hostel, I took an expensive $6 cab to Hostel Revolution and found the welcoming Matt there to check me in, show me round and tell me where the local ching-chong was so I could get myself fed - job done! Up early the following day, I took Matt directions to go and see Mitad… A long way up
