    It is far away from the center of town if you want to go out to eat or walk around the main street. The room is pretty hot and the fan does not cool it off as much

    The hotel is great and has a beautiful view from the second floor common area. The breakfast is good and we were able to use the fridge in our stay which was very helpful

    Don't think they clean and restock the toilets enough. Our room faced the courtyard so is quite loud and not much space in there.

    Nice relaxed atmosphere, quiet and peaceful. Staff make you a packed breakfast for excursions, facilities are decent too.

    Hard to control the shower temperature, it would sometimes heat the sink as well. The bathroom windows opened to the kitchen, so no deal in opening them (one could not really be opened, it led to the back of a kitchen cabinet). Room also had no private windows so we had to sleep with them closed. Bed was not the best, but not bad. WiFi was very hit and miss since our room was in a separate building from the main hotel.

    The only room I could find in the city that didn't have those awful plastic curtains on the shower. The shower is separated from the bathroom by a brick half wall, which is great. Staff were great. Since everybody leaves early for tours, the staff offers a packed breakfast the night before if you ask. Place is some 10 minutes from center. There were no restaurants nearby at night but it's close enough to go to the center and back.

    For some reason, despite staying four nights, we didn’t get a change of towels during our stay.

    Lovely staff who were very helpful. Room was simple but very adequate. It’s a quieter part of San Pedro, which we enjoyed.

    The room could get a bit stuffy, especially after the afternoon sun heated up the courtyard. A fan would have been appreciated.

    Good location an easy walk from the centre of town. Good kitchen facilities, decent breakfast (including a take-away breakfast if you're up and out early for a tour). Room was comfortable, would stay here again.

    They warn you about this after you book the property, but the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all in our room. The location is not the closest one to city center, but totally walkable distance, and it’s near minimarkets and restaurants, so not a big deal. Breakfast ingredients could be a bit better. Having real fruit juice for example.

    The staff is the high point. Raul and the others were beyond kind to us, always available to help with whichever requests we had. Also, very clean, comfortable bed, hot showers and super quiet at night. Breakfast is simple in ingredients and options, but very tasty - the huevitos are prepared individually for each guest, that’s a plus compared to a buffet.

    The breakfast was tasty, but very simple (only eggs or ham & cheese sandwich). Sometimes the breakfast was not on time. Also, few times the cleaning lady did not lock our room which was a bit strange. The Wi-Fi was weak in rooms but okay-ish.

    Cozy hostel with great location - peaceful but within walking distance to centre. The rooms were small but comfortable. We enjoyed the terrace a lot! We also ended up having separate but private bathroom which was very nice. There wasn’t much to do in the hostel or in the proximity, but you don’t anyway need that, since you’ll be exploring the desert :)

    if you are looking for a more social stay I would say this one is more on the quiet side.

    the hostel was peaceful and quiet and very close to the bus station. they also cleaned the rooms every day which was nice. also a nice golden retriever is the house dog which was great!

    Lodging in San Pedro in general is very expensive for what you get, and this place is no different. However, it seemed like better value than a lot of the other places I saw online.

    The place is nothing fancy but it’s very clean and comfortable. Perfect for us, since we were out and about seeing the sights all day anyway. There was always hot water, the beds were very cozy, and the heater in our room worked great (almost a little too great! We had to turn it off in the middle of the night.) Breakfast is simple but good with a couple different options. The wifi in the common area was great. The staff were very kind.

    The breakfast was average. When we had one day an early trip we received as breakfast to go 3 granola bars and 1 juice (at other accommodations we received sandwiches, yogurt, juice and fruits). Also the internet was not working for 2 out of 3 days that we staid there.

    room was cleaned and we had enough space for us.
