After spending a night in another awful hostel, we found this gem and couldn't have been happier! The place was spotless, with spacious rooms and comfortable beds. For $10/person it's a steal and there is a/c for an additional price. The owner was friendly and helpful, and she herself checked who was coming and going no matter what the hour.... More

On arrival, we were struggling to find any decent private room for a reasonable price, even in low season, when we were pointed here. Excellent value for money. Clean but basic rooms, with AC for an extra cost if those tropical nights get too much to cope with. No tv or fridge (although hotel was happy to put stuff in... More

This is an inexpensive hotel not a B&B. In the morning they offer coffee and some store bought packaged cookies. Room was clean, simple and cheap. Location is good. However customer service was nonexistant to dismal. The owner and her partner were totally not there in terms of service to guests - not that I was expecting much for $20... More

I love this place and stay almost every time I come to SJdS. I'm getting a bit old for the pary hostels and this is a step up in quality, cleanliness, security, and warmth without putting a damper on the wallet. It's a hotel that wouldnt catch your eye coming into town, but if you inquire within, you will find... More

The big sized room was clean and well equiped. You can chose between fan and AC (+10$). It's actually pretty central, just two minutes to walk from the beach and all the restaurants. You get coffee and cookies for breaktfast for free. We had a nice stay, just one thing: the annoying cock which starts crowing in the early morning.Every... More

With clean rooms, reasonable prices and excellent security, this is a solid place to stay in San Juan del Sur. There is no hot water in the rooms, but guests can choose to use high-quality air-conditioning for only 9 dollars more per night. The hosts are friendly and attentive. The location si quite central. The only complaint I would have... More

Clean, friendly, safe and free coffee-what more can you ask for??!! Would definitely stay again. $25 for a double room with WiFi and comfy bed. Nice and quiet in the evenings so easy to get a good night's sleep.

We have been here for about a week. A good deal if you if you don't want to stay in a hostel. Something that could make this place even better would be to have breakfast or free filtered water refills included. We have been in Nicaragua for 2 months and this is our first tourist town so I kind of... More

We found this hotel by coincindence. It was super clean, owners are really nice, helpful and honest. It has a good location, it is quiet but so near to all entertainment in the night. The price is great (20 dollars for private room with bathroom), it has wifi and an excellent free coffee in the morning. They can do also... More
