4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

We stayed here for 3 nights in January 2012. The owner spoke very little english but apart from that the rooms were lovely and very clean. Plenty of space and hammocks outside to relax in were a nice touch. It takes about 5 mins to walk into town, but San Pedro is not that big so that isn't an issue.... More

Small and a bit away from the center. Very quiet, clean. Computer is a bit slow (free 30'/day). Breakfast offers a choice of eggs or ham/cheese, with the usual bread/butter/jam and hot drink/juice. Owner prefers cash, even though the credit card sign is clearly posted.

My wife and I stayed here for 4 nights last week. A small quaint hostel near the town centre. We had a double room with a private bathroom. The place was spotlessly clean, the bed comfortable, the staff very accommodating, friendly and helpful. The bathroom had hot water and it was always available. there was an outside sitting area with... More

We stayed for four nights here. It was wonderful! Friendly staff, very helpful. Great rooms with nice charm. Outdoor space is wonderful. A short walk (5mins) out of town on a nice quiet street. Always hot water and breakfast included (scrambled eggs and the freshest bread!). I would definitely stay here again!!

I traveled at June 2010, stayed there 4 nights, and everything were ok: hot water, clean bathroom in the room, cosy bed, berakfast and, what was very important at cold winter nights, gas heating in the room (when I came in the evenings, I asked to turn it on. During the night it turned off, but it was not cold).... More

Although I've noted that some matrimonial bedrooms have different sizes ( almost half size of the others) , our # 10 was excelent. Well decorated, spacious and a window for the back garden with a green cactus. The shower is excelent, the water temperature do not changes since the cold water register is independent of the hot water. Although there... More

I could stay 3 nights at the hostal. It is OK, but has some problems _and because of this it doesn´t worth for the price (65 dolars). The positive points are: 1) it is charming and quiet; 2) the room is clean, confortable and the bed, linen and towels, excelent; 3) it has free internet. The negative points: 1) the... More

Despite having booked a room the day before, when we arrived (on time) we were told that they'd given our room away! After a discussion they decided to let us have another room - but at the expense of a couple that would arrive later. Nice. The rooms are lovely and the breakfast is good but we were told not...
