Situated in Santa Ana, Pool House Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, BBQ facilities, and free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, a tour desk and luggage storage for guests.

The staff are really nice. The hostel is next to the city center with the cathedral, bars, resturants and grocery stores. There is a good kitchen for cooking and it's a decently social hostel with people lounging around the main area. They have an arepa making class Mondays or tuesday nights? Good way to meet people. I got the private room and it was very spacious. Quiet at night and very safe. I would recommend staying here if you can .

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Great location, very close to everything I needed. The staff were so helpful and kind and helped us a lot with the buses and trips. I realised I'd left my towel by accident at a precious hostel and the staff member even let me have a towel from lost property! There are lockers in the rooms and an individual fan for each bed.

    The hostel is perfect as a base in Santa Ana to explore the area. The staff are so friendly and helpful and have created a chilled atmosphere to enjoy. It is also the cleanest hostel we have stayed in!! The area was safe and quiet. Room had a fan and was comfortable. Kitchen is fully stocked and has filtered water.

    The place as a whole has incredible space and the price for the space they have is too cheap. I say this because there are many small hostels and we pay the same. It's incredible how everyone can coexist in the yard and it was great because there was a boy who cut everyone else's hair. I was a guest but the owners get along very well if you socialize. I loved.

    The price. We paid $5 which was half the price of the next cheapest hostel.

    Brand new place, more of a hotel than a hostel. Lovely breakfast and very clean and well equipped kitchen that you can easily cook in with free water. They helped with booking tours and transfers. Laundry was cheap (I think $5 for a big load).

    Located very close to the main plaza, within walking distance of the main bus stations. The hostel is very cheap, and of course facilities are reflected in that price. Overall the cleanliness of the place was good, but it's an old building and used to be a burger restaurant, so it doesn't always feel that clean. Free Pool table, even if it does have a slight lean it's still playable. Renting scooters is super simple. Staff are all super nice, especially Yacky and her sister~

    With a little bit more attention and not much cost, the boys who run this place could really take this hostel to an amazing level. Beds are comfortable, each with a fan and power. Great location and there were a great group of guests when I stayed there. Pool table is a bonus!
