Ubicación perfecta, amplios salones, personal súper cordial, y puedes ingresar desde muy temprano!

Los colchones. Me hospedé en la habitación de 5 camas, y dormía pegado a la pared para no sentir las tablas de la base de la cama: el colchón debió de haberse cambiado hace 100 años!

Stayed at Ubuntu for 5 weeks travelling by myself. Was the the best place for it. Walking distance to the surf, great staff and met a great mix of people. My sleep in the single room was better than at home and loved the braiii nights. Definetly coming back
