I want to start off by saying the staff were friendly and helpful. I stayed in a 4 bed dorm. I also appreciated the free towel, not many hostels do that. The beds weren’t very private like some hostels that feature bunk beds with curtains, however it’s not a deal breaker since the beds were very cozy. You may need to take a few Ubers to get around the city. If you’re looking for a quiet place to stay for a few nights stay here. However it wasn’t the most affordable hostel

The owner is lovely and very accommodating! The location is great, the beds were comfortable, towels were included and the shower had hot water. Not much of an atmosphere if you’re looking to meet fellow backpackers; but it was a great spot to rest and reset!

When I arrived after a very long journey all she was interested in was money. And she made me empty my bag and contents just to find a few cents that could have waited until the next morning. She came across as a very miserable person who should not be “ in front of house” at reception. The place was dirty and not a single dish or plate could be found for guests use. She even hid the gas lighter so that guests could not use the cooker. The room was full of mosquitoes and had mo fan or...

No se os ocurra alojaros aquí. Un enchufe en la habitación para 4 personas. Las sabanas tienen un olor a m***** que no se soporta. El baño lleva sin limpiarse los últimos 20 años. Cuando entras parece que estás entrando a la casa de los horrores. Además preguntamos por horarios de autobuses para ir al aeropuerto y para hacer un poco de turismo por la capital y la empleada no tenía ni idea. Llamo a alguien que no dio ninguna indicación clara. el único hotel o de centroamerica que n...

Precisa dar uma melhorada na limpeza e infraestrutura, a localização não achei muito legal, a roupa de cama parecia usada, meio fedida e não tinha tomada perto da cama. O atendimento é excelente e o valor foi dos mais acessíveis. A cidade não dispõe de muitas opções, então foi tudo bem porque eu queria economizar.

the most disgusting hotel i have been in all my travels. on the bed there was a hair & a silverfish.the pillow was very dark from using. 10 minutes after entering the room there was a mouse just running in the room, came from outside and entered from the hole umder the door. after taking a shower the whole room was full of water, cause the shower is directly behind the door of the bathroom which is broken. the wall, the floor, the bed, the bathroom, the furniture & the hotel in general is dirty

Horrible location. Terrible facilities. Staff was rude and started yelling loudly on the phone at 4.30 am, then proceeded to play loud music from 5 am. I wasn’t allowed to sit and wait for my bus, they wanted me to pay for one more night just for waiting there for a few hours.

slechtste hostel ooit. ik kwam laat aan, gelukkig zag ik de kakkerlakken en bedwantsen pas toen ik sochtends wakker werd. spullen gepakt en snel vertrokken.geen gezelligheid en de eigenaresse straalde ook geen gezeligheid uit. alleen boeken als je anders op straat moet slapen, verder links laten liggen

La recepcionista quería darme una habitación que no reunía las características compradas. No escuchaba mis argumentos. Solo la llamada a la dueña cambió su conducta.

I really disliked the hostel. It was the worst one I have stayed in for ages. The receptionist was rude and didn't speak a word of English. You work with tourists, after all. Additionally, it wasn't cheap, yet it was very unwelcoming and unattractive.

Good hostel to spend a couple of nights on a budget in San Salvador. A little far from the center. It could use some freshening up, especially to the bathrooms. The Wi-Fi is good for working. The staff could be more welcoming. They ask $1 to be able to cook and $1.25 to be able to fill the water bottle.
