Las habitaciones no tienen llave, en mi habitación habia aire acondicionado, pero no puedes manipularlo, lo prenden y apaga el personal, la temperatura la definen ellos. No en todas las piezas hay a/c Solo hay dos baños con higiene deficiente Solo hay 2 duchas muy incómodas, la cortina estaba asquerosa, la higiene deficiente, no tienen ventilación Las camas son literas muy frágiles, suenan mucho si te mueves No volvería

The rooms have no key, in my room there was air conditioning, but you can't manipulate it, they turn it on and off the staff, the temperature is defined by them. No in all rooms there is a/c Only there are two bathrooms with poor hygiene Only there are 2 very uncomfortable showers, the curtain was disgusting, the hygiene is poor, they have no ventilation The beds are very fragile beds, they sound a lot if you move Not would I come back

We stayed twice at this hostel with different experiences. Our first stay was 2 nights in a private room – more expensive, but very comfortable. Because of the great location and beautiful historic, we returned. This time we stayed in a dorm, which was disappointing: freezing AC, no privacy curtains, and no protection from the fan on the top bunk. Worst of all, the water stopped working (no shower, no toilet flushing), which became really disgusting. Paying full price for this is not acceptabl...

I reserved a stay from 10/22-10/23. I did so at 10/22 around 2 am and chose the earliest possible day. However, I needed it from 10/21 to 10/22. Upon arrival, he refuses to change my reservation in any capacity. He even denied my attempt to add a night and pay double. He said there were rooms available for walkins so he clearly did not want to assist me. I believe he discriminated me either for being a brown woman or appearing like a tough lesbian due to my short hair and some facial piercings.

Hostel number 31 for this trip & the worst hostel I’ve ever stayed in. The staff are so incredibly rude and made me feel so unwelcome. You must sit on the sofas with your feet on the floor? We got shouted at and a staff member clapped in our face at 6am because I was sat crossed legged on the sofa. The dorm rooms are loud and hot and the large room has no blinds and 0 privacy. The staff do not look at you when asking for help or any advice - they answer as bluntly as possible (all staff)

First night there was a huge water leak on the ceiling, we woke up with paint and plasterboard falling on the beds next to us. In itself, that's not really the problem, it can happen. What was more worrying was that the floor was completely flooded with water, with the electric cables drowned in it. Despite several warnings, they left travellers with this situation all morning. We asked to change rooms to be safer and were told to pay the supplement. Result: we just succeeded in changing beds..

This was one of the most misleading hostels I have ever stayed at, the staff was unfriendly, the room was incredibly messy and extremely hot. Do not reccommend this at all

The location is fantastic but the kitchen is disgusting, there were cockroaches in the rooms and half of the toilets don't flush. They tell you at check in that you are not allowed to lay down on the couches but they later tell you that they are watching on the cameras and you need to have both feet on the ground at all times. There is also an incredibly loud church service shouted and sobbed into a microphone next door every weeknight from 7 until 10. We had 2 lockers for 6 beds.

I only booked this hostel because the Selina hostel cancelled my reservation. The only good thing about this place is that it is in the best location which is Casco Viejo. There is 0 social atmosphere at this place and it is more of a hotel. This place attracts lots of old people and was hard to connect with fellow travellers. This is The most underwhelming hostel experience I’ve ever had. Avoid at all costs if you can. I wish there was a better hostel in Casco viejo to choose from

Convenient location. Helpful and pleasant staff. Looks nice from outside and inside. A nice well-kept building among both nice hotels and not-so-nice wrecks. Groceries, good restaurants, and waterfront within a few blocks. Toilets and showers not great, but ok. Bunk beds in hostel section not great, but ok. Value is good. (Though the hostel bunks are going away in April 2026 in favor of private rooms.) We liked it enough we are returning to Magnolia Inn on our way back to the airport.

Reception staff needs training on 2 things: 1: understand the backpacking/Hostel culture. ⚠example: Reception girl goes to social room to tell people to take their feet off the couch 2: friendlier attitude I can tell they’re not used to backpacking environment This morning during the checkout, the reception guy was annoyed that I didn’t have my paper card for $2 deposit for towel Return Instead of asking how was the stay But I give credit to only 1guy works NightShift.

Hostel really clean and in really good position. The staff is really nice but I bit rigid with the rules as they consider them to be an hotel as well. It's not possible to sleep on the couches if wanna rest waiting for the check in. The A/C is available only from 6.00pm and if you wish to rest during the day might be really hot with no chances to get A/C. The main things like cleanliness, position and staff were very good (beside this rigid rules), but we should have A/C anything we need.

This hostel is in the heart of the old town area and just beautiful in an old colonial style hotel there's plenty to do around Fair lots of restaurants and shops and access to free museums and the causeway area just a wonderful place to stay lots of good gifts from all over the world
