Nothing in particular

The price. Location next to airport. Kitchen was fine, reasonable shower

Stayed in January 2024

The room was a bit hot during the day, but there was a fan. When it's time to go to bed at night, you can sleep without a quilt.

You can have your own room for $10. The room was also very clean. There is also internet.The house is not on the side of the road, so you can feel quiet.

- no AC, the fan was really loud and didn’t cool the room down at all! - just cold showers

+ kitchen and fridge to use + super nice staff! + great (vegan) restaurant at the hostel one block away (Casa Michael, that’s where you check in and where the staff is in case of a question) + comfortable beds + location is allright. feels like a really safe neighborhood, Bus to the city center takes a while (but is cheap with 35 cents) Uber takes shorter (more expensive with 4-10 dollars though) + supermarket, food places and a mall close by

Normal, good to sleep one night

they didn’t have a reception, you had to check in at casa michael that was a few minutes walking distance. this was not informed to me though so I had to wait outside for quite awhile until another guest told me. It doesn’t have air condition, and it’s not a place to stay if you want to meet other travellers.

Great price for a private room. The kitchen was alright

It's very confusing to find, none of the taxi drivers have known the "IWANA" hotel, only casa Michael (which belongs to the area too), this could be changed. The property itself has a shady vibe, not very friendly

Little money for a single room, artful details (paintings, decoration), helpful employees, delicious vegan falafel restaurant

Although the room has a window and a fan, it is still a bit hot, but it is acceptable.

I like living here very much. Because it is very quiet here, you can rest quietly, unlike the noisy city center. There are also large supermarkets nearby to facilitate shopping.If I come to this city next time, I will stay here again.

Good location close to airport and bus terminal. Quiet, good wifi.

Being so far away from the main Admin desk (walking through the neighbourhood to a separate building to stay in) Can be difficult to get to If you a walking, as you can encounter many locked gates along the neighbourhood thoroughfares

Everything worked well, the room was fairly clean (except for a piece of chewed gum left on top of the clothes rack). Kitchen was well stocked with Utensils. Aircon and WiFi worked great. Staff were professional.

Was told that I’m staying in Hostel Michael after being told that check in is there, which I assume is a hostel run by the same owners just down the street from IWANA. Room was connected by windows and doors to the owners house or other houses attached to it, so it was super loud the entire night..pots and dishes clanking, people yelling, very loud music, and large fireworks that sounded like they were literally outside of my room. Only 1 bathroom attached to the main lobby.

Has a kitchen and a small sitting area outside. Room had AC which made it bearable. Is in a gated alleyway so I suppose it felt kind of safe. Room had lockers.

The bathroom was without soap.The shower was cold. Noise of dogs at night. There was nothing to clean in the kitchen. We saw cockroaches. The furniture stinks! The curtains are badly placed. Too much light coming into the room.

The restaurant next to House Michel (close to House IWANA) has Falafels, which were really good!

We booked to stay at this place but a few hours before we were due to arrive we got a message that there was a problem with the room and they had somewhere else for us to stay close by. I checked on booking.com and it was cheaper than the place we had booked but they told us it was more expensive. The room was ok but we had chosen Casa IWANA because it had a proper kitchen, the room they put us in had a little stove and fridge. No space to prepare food or eat and had to wash up in the shower.

The mattress was very uncomfortable, moldy, stinky and old, the whole room stinky and smelled of sweat, the fan was so dusty it spread dust around the tiny room, they dnt like to change sheets.

The location is good

No TV in the Room or AC , no hot wster nether and the room very small, also the stove not strong enough meaning the fire is very small to cook.

The place was very quiet, you don't see anyone exet a litle cat , very lovely cat l feed it every day other than that the place is for resting.

For the cheap price it is totally fine. The location is not very convenient if you want to explore the city but very close to terminal and airport which is a bonus. I have actually stayed twice here. It does get super hot in the room though. For most people it would be advisable to only stay at places with AC. There is a big supermarket near and local restaurants and shops. During my stay two other guys were living in the other rooms. They were not always so quiet and the kitchen was not always left clean. But staff comes regularly to clean the kitchen a bit. I had to ask for toilet paper and soap twice but they never provide soap which is questionable, especially in covid times. The communication via Whatsapp was always clear and fast. WiFi was not amazing but good enough. So basically if you are on a tight budget, this place is okay.

No complaints

The host helped me out a few times. He is a nice guy. Comfortable, clean, good location and spacious kitchen.

I don't feel the description of the property matched the property. I was surprised to find no hot water or bath towels. Staff wasn't to be found after a confusing check in process. There was nobody around at check out time . There were not many places to eat nearby.

The room was small but clean. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were good quality. The room had a good fan that made up for lack of air conditioning. The facilities seemed very secure and safe which helped considering how the neighborhood looked. The neighborhood was very quiet. An UBER ride to the airport was $2.13.
