Nice hotel, it was worth more than I paid. Stores and restaurants are around this hotel, and you can go to San Pedro Mall on foot, and city central by taxi for 10 mins. It’s quiet usually around it. Mr. Mark, owner of the hotel, turn off the light at 10pm everyday, so you can sleep comfortably. You can get many services there, i.e. nice pancakes for breakfast (surprisingly free), laundry services, and others. And don’t forget this: everyday he sends us off at hotel with warm “PURA VIDA”.

I am grateful for the amazing affordability of this hostel which was also paired with a low-key easy-going atmosphere. When I was told that there would be “a pancake” in the morning I wasn’t expecting much but I was happily surprised to discover that this pancake was very large, neither over cooked nor under cooked and it was decorated with two different fruits on top along with syrup of course. Thank you! I’m so grateful.

Me alojé en una habitación privada en el hostel y tuve una muy buena experiencia. La habitación estaba limpia, tranquila y cómoda. El personal me ayudó con todo u ofreció servicio de lavandería y la ubicación era excelente. Definitivamente lo recomendaría para una estancia agradable y económica.

La verdad nunca me había hospedado en un hostal tan mal, la cama estaba pandeada, el piso estaba pegajoso, el baño al jalarle tiene un rechinido horrible que suena por un minuto cada vez que se usa, encontre una cucaracha en el cajón de los cubiertos en la cocina... además de que el personal de recepción fue bastante grosero
