Everyone was very welcoming. The owner was full of knowledge. If you need to know anything about taking the buses, where to eat, tour, sights, then just ask. There is a kitchen you can use to cook. The shower has hot water.

Luis and his family are lovely people and will ensure you are comfortable throughout your stay. Luis is a genuine legend and will happily sit down with you and tell you all the tips and tricks to make the most out of Santa Ana. Thanks again Luis, hopefully see you, the family and the one and only Lacho again one day.

The mattress is starting to sag a bit, but this isn't a reason to not stay there. It really is a wonderful place with wonderful people.

Luis is literally the best hostel owner I have ever met. He is so kind, and he really is the font of all knowledge. He goes out of his way to make sure your stay goes perfectly. He can tell you exactly where to get on the different buses, and where to get off them. He'll give you tips like where to eat if you visit somewhere. It was International Women's Day when I was there, and he'd bought his wife a cake to celebrate. He then shared it with all the guests because you are also part of his family and household. Everything was really clean and you felt comfortable there. The shower is hot too! I love this place.

Luis must be one of nicest people we have ever met. He is so helpful. He arranged our transfer into Nicaragua sorting out the paperwork needed to get it. He give great advice on things to see and do. He is such a lovely man to talk to. All his family are lovely. The breakfast is great. Our room was very clean and quiet. We loved all the places you can sit and chill.

The beds had a bit flimsy iron frames, so when the people in the bottom bunk were moving the top was shaking a lot and it was a bit hard to sleep.

Luis the host is one of the most caring, helpful and friendly people I have met. Very knowledgeable about all the things to do and see in the city and around it, always attentive and ready to give great advice about everything. His house, which he is sharing with travelers, is super close to Sta Ana's center, also close to the bus stops for Tazumal and Sta Ana volcano. There is a kitchen to your disposal, he can also do laundry for you (3USD per kg). The bathroom had hot water and was kept clean. The beds had AC units, however only the bottom bunks had curtains. He can also arrange various travels for you to Guatemala or Honduras.

My only regret was not staying every night there!

Best hostel in Santa Ana, and I stayed at three! Don't expect luxury, but expect to be welcomed by the friendliest family, very helpful for tips and recommendations and they do everything to make you feel welcomed. Hostal has a kitchen, cold water to drink, warm water to shower, towels were provided, dorm was only four beds and had privacy curtains, plugs and your own light. With really big lockers! Central location, 20 min walk to the bus stations, close to center and food!

Wonderful place. Luis has much information on things to do and see and how to get to them. I felt like an honored guest as I was asked more than once if everything was good and was there anything he could do for me. Would definitely stay again

Location was perfect for exploring Santa Ana and surrounding area. Luis was an excellent host - very helpful and great recommendations!

great owner, his sons were nice too. good info, new motorcycle to rent too which means you can do 3 days of activities in one day

The only down side would be the breakfast which as a vegan I found too "light" not filling enough even though it was just $2: 4 small slices of fried plantains, a tablespoon of beans, half an avo and a coffee.

Cosy little homestay dorm close to the main Park. Luis was super friendly and helpful to help plan our daytrips and next destination. The 4 bed dorm is small but has everything needed and comfortable. The kitchen also is very handy!

I really liked the atmosphere Luis and his family created. I really felt welcome and he helped me out with everything!

We had a great time staying here in Santa Ana, great central location and really good value for money. The host Luis and his family are super welcoming and friendly. Luis is like a walking guidebook at gave us lots of info on where to eat, where to go and how to get there. They also made us a really tasty breakfast with coffee every morning - would highly recommend Casa Vieja when staying in Santa Ana.

had a brilliant time at Casa Vieja😍 it felt more like a honestly than a hostel. Luis and his family stepped out of their way to make my stay pleasurable, thank you!!

Stayed in January 2023

Casa Vieja is a very comfortable and welcoming place to stay whilst visiting Santa Ana. Luis was tremendously supportive during my stay and for organizing my tour to the vulcano. He is also very knowledgeable about the town. Santa Ana is very safe. The beds are comfortable and everything is very clean. You'll be staying at a typically simple setting, but perfectly located, with a hot shower and pancakes for breakfast.

Everything! Luis did his utmost to ensure we were comfortable and enjoying our stay. The bedroom facilities had everything ticked off (bed curtains, lamp, switches). My plug socket stopped working and Luis very kindly gave me a spare to keep. The breakfast was really tasty and only $1. I would stay longer if I could.

Our stay here was excellent. All the reviews are spot on, Luis goes out of his way to make sure you have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. He feels like family. He is certainly the most accommodating and helpful host I've ever stayed with. This is THE place to stay in Santa Ana. Definitely the best value for money. It's a very affordable place, with a beautiful and peaceful courtyard to relax in. Breakfasts are also simple, yet delicious and filling, with great coffee!! We highly recommend a stay here! The guest house even exceeded our expectations, which is hard to do, given how excellent the reviews already were.

Luis, the host, was so patient with us and helped us with so many things. We got in very early after a overnight bus ride and he made us pancakes and coffee before we crashed. He goes above and beyond with all of the guests to make sure they have a fantastic time in Santa Ana.

The dorm was a bit small for 4 people.

Room was too small

Friendly owner, close to centrum, nice kitchen, bathroom and restroom in the room, small but nice breakfast. Luis, the owner, was very friendly. He led me to the bus which was close to the hostel and leaving to the bus terminal to San Salvador

Stayed in January 2023

Luis is an amazing host who helps you in every way possible! Tours, directions, tips where to eat, and you can rent his motorcycle to go to the ruins/volcano/Ruta de last flores, etc. Breakfast is different everyday, but the same exceptional quality!

The owner and his family were so welcoming. They truly have 'hospitality' in their blood. Nothing was too much for them. Luis is a mine of information. I wish he and his family every success in their business. Location, - very close to the plaza. Within walking distance of the different bus stations. The San Salvador bus stops a taxi ride away from the centre. Quiet. Comfortable, clean. Bunk beds have curtains, sockets and lights. Shower has hot water. Delicious pancake breakfast.

Everything was PERFECT

100% RECOMMEND, YOU WILL NOT BE DISSATISFIED. PERFECTTLY LOCATED & EXTREMELY SAFE This is like THE BEST place we have stayed in our trip. A sleeping place is not only luxury, but it is a whole. Luis the Host is just an AMAZING person, thank you for being who you are…. He wasn’t that kind only with us, he was with everyone!!!! He knows EXACTLY and HOW to do everything… we stayed 4 days and thanks to him we were able to do everything we wanted to do… very cheaply as he knows EVERY bus you have to take !!!!! The best places to visit, and how to do it. Concerning the commodities, you have hot water, comfortable bed, fan and breakfast is included in the price ! On top of that breakfast changes everyday !!!! Like is not the same every day…. I just have to say THANK YOU Luis !!!!!! I wish you really the best.
