The wifi worked well. There was shampoo and soap. The kitchen was clean with all cooking supplies and the host is really sweet. There is AC the whole day not just after 8 or 9 pm.

I loved everything. Left one air BNB to come back to this one for both layovers. I finally got in the pool it wasn't deep but it was clear and lovely. The view from the terrace was beautiful. Convenient for restaurants and the airport also. Beautiful decor. Nice kitchen. Nice staff. I love love love this place. Will definitely come back. Just got the good vibes.

Comfortable beds. You can lock the entire bed cubical which was great for storing all of my stuff there, and it gave a good privacy. The breakfast was good, the staff were all really nice. The area seemed nice and secured to walk around alone for dinner.

This was my fourth stay at this hotel. Hotel has hot water unlike many in Central America. Beds were comfortable. WII was decent in room. There is a shared balcony on each floor with a couple plastic chairs. The employees are great. They have always been very helpful. One of the receptioist has decent English language skills. Her English has improved since my first stay. If you turn left as you exit hotel, there is a minimart just past the first cross street. Or turn right at this same cross street (after turning left as you departed hotel) and follow this street. You will arrive at Via Espana near several (maybe 10) different restaurants. Or, turn left at this same cross street, and you are only 1 short block from Via Argentina.

The hostel is very spacious and clean, has a pool, good kitchen, close to metro station, and most importantly , there’s a few cats and dogs being cared for with love and I really like that. I would definitely return. Made it to the Airport easily with the morning metro, leaving at 5 am catching flight at 7:25.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

Super friendly hostel in great location. Very close to a Rana Dorada craft beer joint and a cheap yet tasty pizza shop. Very near the front, if you want to walk/jog/run along the boardwalk.
