Reviews of Il Triangolo Hostel

Luca was extremely friendly and helpful

Friendly atmosphere

Tremendous Wifi, staff were super friendly, and the owner Luca will do everything possible to make sure you have an amazing stay!

The owner's wife is frequently around and always seems to be in a bad mood or complaining about something. She brings down the vibe a little bit.

The location was great. Walkable to the main street and beach but tucked away so nice and quiet. The rooms were cozy, but be aware there are no rooves on the rooms so they are private in terms of walls but not private in terms of sounds between all the guests. There weren't many people staying there when we went so it was quiet but I imagine if it was full it would feel like you were rooming with everyone.

Unfortunately the partner of Luca was rude to guests (not just us) while in the kitchen. It really effected our enjoyment of the stay and our desire to be in the kitchen at all.

Very kind and helpful hosts, you may feel like in home here. It’s in calm and peaceful localization, staying there was an unique experience, just like sleeping in a jungle ;) Besides, the place offer you many amenities and it’s a good value for money

No dollars payment

Very nice e and friendly host! Ocean vibes are around you! And great location also Recommend!

Facilities are very good and complete, bedrooms are surprising due to the shape of the building and the construction but I liked it There is protection for mosquitoes which is definitely necessary Beaches and restaurants are super close by the hostel There is towels which is a big + Luca the owner is a sweetheart

You always seems to disturb the wife’s owner while going into the kitchen 😅

We had such a lovely experience! The location was perfect - close to the main street of Las Galeras and just a few minutes away from the beach. The staff was lovely, everything was perfect, we would definitely recommend this place and hope to come back soon :)

A cute place in las Galeras. There are semi individual rooms i think i would book that eventhough since it is in a big kinda shed with no roof between the different rooms, when people speak you hear them. Take earplugs and eye mask because it get clear early. But when i stayed in the dorm one of the guest was snoring like crazy and even with earplugs or music i could still hear him. That is why i advise to take the individual "rooms" because I dont think it is much more expensive. The volunteers were sweethearts. There is a Ping-pong table and places to hang out. It is 2 min away from the bus. But there is no loud music from the parties going around which is important if you value your sleep a bit. It is a 10 or 15 min walk from an amazing beach. I met cool people there and had great talk with them.

There is a kitchen but it hard to use it because the owner's mum is watching your every moves and treating you like you are 7 (i am 40 but she did that with 50 or 55 year old women as well). She cooks during hours and does not let you use the "good" pan and you have to use to rotten carcinogenic one. And if you get a little firm with her she gets really pissy and says bad stuff in italian. It was a bit stressful to witness and the vibe was more relaxed when she was not there. The owners, her son is really nice though. And when you get her in a good mood, she is ok and will give you cooking tips. If you seen the Sopranos, she really reminded me of Tony Soprano's mum. Oh yeah... they lock the kitchen at night.... with a lock so if you get hungry during the night (i obviously would not cook during the night but grab something from the fridge becausei tend to have insomnia and eating something helps me get back to sleep...well too bad).

Open reception and seating are was nice

The rooms all share the same roof so it is not really soundproof, the kitchen sink was leaking

Very nice place, with a very friendly staff. Good location, very close to the center and the beach, but in a quiter area, not by the main road.

The rooms have an open roof with a common roof covering all of them. So basically you can hear everything from the other rooms. Still, it was quite quiet, so actually not a problem for me. There was hot water in the shower but it needed the owner to fix something to make the heater working. It broke again after a few minutes.

Very friendly and helpful staff and volunteers, well located hostel, clean, good vibe, the kitchen has everything you need

Basic but definitely worth the stay. Super friendly and helpful staff. Big room, mosquito net, fan. Good restaurants nearby. Parking in the street possible for free.

Cleanliness could be a bit better, especially the (shared) bathrooms. A bit far from the beach if looking for this.

The owner of the hostel, as well the others I met there, was really friendly and makes you feel welcome. I had a „room“/compartment of my own that gave me more privacy than a dorm. I liked it a lot to have my plug, lamp, wardrobe and mirror. It’s easy to meet other travellers there. You can prepare your meal if you don’t want to try one of the cute restaurants of Las Galeras or the delicious empanadas sold on the Main Street. Bring you own coffee, there’s Italian coffee makers for a good start in the morning. There’s small shops close to the hostel, and you can use the fridge, very useful. Las Galeras has several great beaches, so it’s worth staying a while to relax. I miss it already! Grazie per tutto!

Despite being on a side street, it was quite noisy sometimes, because there don’t seem to be „quiet times“, and it’s very open space (this is lovely in general). The DR is generally louder than elsewhere, very noisy motorbikes and music any time (I love music, but not that loud that you can’t talk or sleep anymore), dogs barking, cocks crowing early in the morning. But bring good earplugs and you‘ll have a sweet sleep. 😴

Everything was fantastic. And there's a friendly cat
