    I had a shuttle during the night and reception was not open. I asked if the door would be open when I leave and they said yes. When I tried to leave the door was locked. Luckily another guest was awake and showed me the other door that could get out of. It might have been that they forgot to explain to me how to get out after the reception closes and that is why they said the door would be open. My Spanish is not very good so that also might be the reason why I didn't receive the information.

    Clean nice hostel and good kitchen. Friendly staff. Wifi worked well. The room was comfortable. The hot shower was very nice. The terrace was pleasant. I had a nice stay in this hostel

    Some mosquitos get into dorm, hot in rooms without ac, far from everything you will do, no street food or markets around, shop and eat when you are out seeing other places, squeaky beds

    Safe area,can take local buses, meet other travelers, lockers, coffee in morning, places to relax, food court one block away, secret callejon two blocks away where you can find papusas at night

    it's in San Salvador

    There weren't enough lockers when I arrived, but by the next day 8 more locker units almost magically appeared. The staff were friendly and helpful, there were lots of good common areas, there is a nice kitchen and there was a good wifi connection.

    shower a bit weird, you have to climb down a bit and then difficult to find the right temperature between hot and cold. dorm is a bit packed full and longtime guests shouldn't be mixed with travellers. lockers outside of the room.

    extremely good breakfast served by the owner. was the largest and most tasty omelette so far. atmosphere of a private salvadorian home.

    The staffs does not give too much travel advice. The location is quite far from the city center. The room is quite hot and with a lot of mosquitoes. would-be nice if a mosquito net is provided.

    The staff is very nice. He helps me print out my travel documents. Facilities are clean. Their coffee is good.

    The staff here are really friendly! The senora greeted me with water and coffee upon my arrival. She is a good chef, too. They did my laundry with care. The neighborhood is nice and there are many food options in the food court in the nearby WTC. I came a day late and they were flexible and honored my reservation. Really great staff! Good WiFi too and some reading materials on offer.
