This place has bedbugs. I have multiple bed bug bites on my arms and legs.

The rooms were really hot with no air conditioning. The fans in the room didn’t work. The mattresses had plastic covers and the sheets didn’t fit on the bed so in the night you would end up sleeping on the plastic and it’s really sweaty and uncomfortable. There was little to no atmosphere even on the Friday evening there was 1-2 other people at the bar. The staff were really nice and accommodating and they give a free towel and free breakfast. It’s in a really safe nice location. Poor va...

Terrible. had to leave a review to warn others. Worst Hostel I've seen in a long time. These guys need to pack it up and retry again. They need to lower the price, basic asf, bathrooms smelled of bleach, There was NOWHERE to place my clothes, sink helps NOTHING. Locked gate to leave. Broken stuff everywhere, showers malfunctioning or broken. Social non-existent. Los Patios, Masaya, or Viejos. Wifi bad. Not really bad but nothing close to nearby hostels. Avoid

Dorms waren te warm, geen ramen dus stonk ook en nul privacy. Ontbijt zou inclusief vanaf half 8 zijn maar die vrouw was te laat dus was pas 8:15/8:30. Geen sfeer en geen gordijnen of iets bij de bedden.

Traducido al inglés

The bedrooms were too warm, no windows so it stunk and no privacy. breakfast was supposed to be included from 8:30 but the woman was late so it was only 8:15/8:30. no atmosphere and no curtains or anything by the bed.

The receptionist, Carlos, was super nice and helpful. The chill communal spaces were nice too! But the room was awful. There’s no ventilation in the 12-bunk dorm so it smells bad and is unbelievably hot and humid, no curtains or dividers between the beds, so you can just watch people sleeping. The trunk under the bed is really annoying to use. The Wi-Fi is really bad too. It would be fine if it was cheaper, but I paid $16 a night for this.

The room was really smelly and there were some type of insects in my locker. Also the showers are weirdly located in the bar area

The staff was quite unfriendly, though I might have just caught them on a bad day. The dorms were extremely hot, even when it was cool outside. The mattresses have plastic covers, which is good, but the sheets don’t fit well and keep slipping off. On the plus side, the showers are great, there’s free breakfast, and the location is excellent. I only stayed one night and decided to move to a different hostel for the following nights.

Good location, good showers. However, pretty dirty (the beds), couldnt close window to our room (everybody could see in from the hallway, plus light shining bright at night), loud (you could hear a lot from the toilet and the corridors). Bathrooms were occupied often - albeit not the staffs fault.

The location? Great. Everything else? Questionable. The staff gave off very weird vibes,(one of the staff was having s** in the girls bathroom with the door wide open in the middle of the night… not ideal for feeling safe.) I think this says enough about the place. Also, the smell? It’s pretty bad. Whole place smells like soggy feet. I got fortunate enough to meet some really cool travelers here which is why the rating isn’t a 0

L’hostel est super bien situé dans le quartier. Il y a un endroit agréable où on peut se rassembler en haut de l’hostel. Cependant, il n’y avait pas vraiment d’ambiance quand j’y suis allé et aucune activité pour connaître les autres voyageurs (mai).

Nice hostel with rooftop and very big kitchen and breakfast included. It was just very empty and that’s why not that social. Very good location and close to Viajero where you can go for party

Es mi segunda vez acá, personal amable, desayuno rico. Mejorar la red WIFI que a veces no nos funcionó y a las camas tal vez un poco de privacidad no le caería mal como algún black out o algo así. . Los seguiría eligiendo y recomendando como hostal, muchas gracias.

It's my second time here, friendly staff, rich breakfast. upgrading the WIFI network which sometimes didn't work for us and in the beds maybe a little privacy wouldn't hurt like some blackout or something like that. . would continue to choose and recommend you as hostel, thank you very much.
