Good first impressions but the longer you stay here the more you will dislike it. The rooms are clean however, but the bedroom walls are paper-thin, you can hear everything, all night long! more

I spent 3 weeks back-packing around Costa Rica and Nicaragua. This was by far the most expensive hostel and also of the poorest standards. We booked before hand a twin room with a private bathroom.

S. dollar. The Mas por Menos (market) nearby is awesome for food, inexpensive alcohol, and any other major things you... more
