We really loved our stay here. The workers were very helpful and on top of things. They helped with activity bookings and recommendations. Good social vibes but not crazy party, which we liked. Pool table and projector were fun for later at night. The location is great, short walk to cathedral, local market, and some fun bars. Lots of washrooms and all the beds have a personal fan! Would recommend staying here for sure.

Stayed at 3 hostels in Santa Ana and this was the worst one regarding facilities, dorms, kitchen etc, just kind of grim. We also rented 3 scooters of them all which had their own problems, including the steering column nearly coming off one of them. Overall it just needs more attention and some things changed and it would rock.

Very nice hostel and social. Not the right place if you want to relax be on your own. They have plenty of activities.

Only stayed for a night but seemed very social with daily activities. However quiet hours aren’t enforced at all and the dorm doors have a significant gap at the top, I couldn’t sleep till 2am on a Monday because of the noise. Not enough bathrooms and not clean, shower drains are so clogged so that if you run the water for two minutes you’re standing in a pool. Mattresses are so comically thin you can feel the metal bed frame beneath you. Small lockers, no curtains. Cheap but still not wor...

Amazing hostel in the centre of Santa Ana! The vibes and the staff were 100% amazing. They organize lots of fun activities, offer scooter rentals, and are always happy to help you with public transport or anything else you need. I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking for a fun, social hostel with great price–quality value. Don’t hesitate — just book it and you’ll have the BEST time! A big thank you to the whole team for making my experience in Santa Ana so specia...

Super nice hostel less than a 5 minute walk from the city centre! I loved the social vibe here. The hostel organizes lots of activities like dancing classes, cooking classes, Spanish classes, parties,… The rooms are nice and the beds have individual fans to keep you cool at night. The staff is incredibly helpful and friendly!! & Very practical, you can rent a scooter directly from the hostel. Definitely the best place to stay in Santa Ana :)

I loved Ricks Hostel!! I extended my stay the first night I was there, it is so welcoming & social. Gabriel & everyone who works there is so kind, helpful and made me feel at home, especially Luna the cat! The papusa cooking class & Gio’s food tour were amazing. Definitely stay here, or at least join their activities!

Loved this place! Stayed for the moto rentals ($15/day), but was surprised to enjoy the cooking class night, food tour which ended at the hostel, and general social atmosphere. The owner is always around and actually working too which I appreciate. Lovely and helpful staff, great location, laundry service, good kitchen, pool table, etc!

I loved this hostel. From the staff like Andrea and front desk, to the atmosphere. Most accommodating and chill staff. There’s so many activities to do and it’s incredibly fun. Gives an authentic experience to El Salvador. Potentially my favorite hostel ever.

Lovely hostel, can see exactly why it is so highly rated. the staff are kind and super helpful even if you want to do an activity that they don't offer. Only downside is small lockers and steep steps to get into beds but great for a few days.

This hostel is unreal. I forgot my passport at this hostel and the owners brought it to me in El Tunco. Not only do they go above and beyond for their guests the hostel itself is incredible. Everything’s super clean, fun daily activities, super comfortable beds, and awesome communal areas to meet people. Would definitely recommend this hostel if you want a memorable stay in Santa Ana.

Overall very good hostel, would recommend. Right around the corner of a supermarket and the local market is nearby. Some of the staff were helpful. Beds are fine but there can be mosquitoes at night…

Only 2 bathrooms in the whole hostel which was a bit inconvenient. Had a go at ant infestation in the room. Room is cheap but you get what you pay for.
