Staff had a bit of an attitude. Friendliness was missing from most of them in my opinion. Felt impersonal due to the wrist band system and the breakfast ticket system. Room with fan was the hottest room I’ve had during 10 months of travelling. Somehow the room didn’t cool down even with 3 big fans. No hammocks in the communal areas anymore. This is a missed opportunity.

Location is perfect. Breakfast is nice. We mainly booked because it was one of the cheapest options.

there‘s not a big social atmosphere as the common space is only plastic chairs and tables.

nice dorms with enough space and fans. everything was very clean! super friendly staff that help you organize trips or buses!

The breakfast is very simple and if you arrive 30min before the end you might not get the same thing.

Nice place and well located. We had a private room upstairs and felt that we had even more privacy.

The water had a filter but tasted like dirt. Even the free coffee had the taste. The room was quite small for 4 people.

The staff were all so friendly and they have a cute dog! Breakfast was delicious but could maybe use some fruit. Air con was a game changer but I think it’s only in one room.

The staff could be nicer but it seems to be a thing in San Juan del Sur.

The room is simple but has a nice day light and is quite spacious. Wifi works well. You share the bathroom only with 1 more room. I liked the terrace in front of the room with a hammock. You get a pretty big pancake for breakfast.

A bit noisy

Stayed in January 2024

We stayed over New Year’s Eve and as it is a very central location we could hear music from our room all night. Communal areas are basic and no good places to chill. They look better in the pictures.

It was very central and near the beach. We were lucky to be one of the only rooms upstairs so only shared a bathroom with 1 other room and had a hammock. The front desk guy was very friendly and helpful despite our limited Spanish.

Not offered another type of drink when we receive breakfast, only coffee, not towels

Location

It's very noisy because of the great downtown location. You can hear the restaurants and clubs from the beach. The breakfast was a plain pancake. Some fruit would have been nice.

Location. Right downtown. Walking distance to everything..We stayed in a room upstairs and shared the bathroom with one other couple. Nice!

The rooms are quite hot with just one fan. You should be used to it travelling Central America but be aware it’s very hot at night.

Such a great location! The whole hostel is really clean and tidy, they even service the rooms while you’re there with fresh sheets, clean the floor and bathroom etc. It was lovely.

the breakfast with pancakes is not good. And there are decorative holes out to the receptions from the dorm room, which means it is quite noisy. you can’t lock your room.

very central and walking distance to everything. our dorm was nice with fans

Stayed in April 2023

The breakfast was included but you got only one plain pancake No towels provided no AC but two fans so it was fine The personal don't speak English very well so it was difficult with questions and they could have been more friendly

The location was perfect, directly in the center of San Juan del Sur

-my bed: no space, I slept in de corner bunk, literally 30 cm space between my matras and the other bed. -breakfast was included but I left to Costa Rica around 6:30 am (with a shuttle I booked at Los Chamos) but breakfast starts at 7.. nothing is open yet at that time so without a breakfast into shuttle to costa rica wasn’t super.. maybe they can make a breakfast-to-go for people who leave early (or give a discount or whatever..)

-well located, next to the yummie buffet (only 100 C$ for a plate!) and close to the beach etc -there‘s a kitchen at the hostel -there was just 1 fan for 4 bottom beds (the top ones had their own fans) i’ve asked for one and within 5 minutes they gave me another fan. Very helpful staff :)

Very small room, dirty shower and a lot of bugs lacks communal area- small table and chairs outside only . No bar. The location makes it okay value for money but overall would not recommend

Good location- close to everything

Stayed in November 2022

The staff was rude: He give us other room that what we paid. He didn't want to change and did not take into account the reservation. Because of the hour (in the night) we coudn't go and try to find other hostel. In that room was AC and fan, but he asked for extra fee for remote. Incredible. Wasn't any towel in the room - I have to asked and he give us just 1, and the second with a deposit Do you believed? 2 person with 1 towel??? What a situation! Breakast very poor ( 2 slides of bread, small omlett and only coffee)

Location ! comfortable and clean room. Bit of mould though. Lovely staff. Nice outdoor patio but a bit dark .

Stayed in August 2022

We booked for 2 nights. When we arrived we were told that we could stay in a room for just one night and that we had to change rooms the next morning. That didn't sound relaxed but we had no choice. Wow, what were we glad we could change rooms afterwards! The first room we got was terrible. The room got so hot we couldn't sleep through the night and nothing that could help. The second room was totally different and we actually liked our stay there. Though we were already used to noisy rooms so that didn't bother us much here, tough it might be for you.
