I chequed in with my 9-year old son (who's used to spend holidays in youth hostels) for 2 nights in march 2012. Unfortunately, the staff forgot to tell us that a music festival, held nearby the hostel, would keep us awake untill 5am. When we confronted him the next morning, he just confirmed that music was very loud and that... More

We spent 1 night at the hostel. We got a discount flier at the bus station and had to fight for the discount which then only applies to the first night. The hostel is big with a kitchen and lots of seating. The rooms are dark and not very comfy. It's a social place but the owner sits and watches... More

Although a good value I wouldn't stay hear again. I agree with the previous review that the staff was too chilled out. I don't really need anybody all up in my business but the staff really seemed like they hated being there. Also, I know I'm in a foreign country and I speak very little spanish. I will admit that...

The staff at this hostel are very chilled out. Perhaps TOO chilled out, but that's okay I guess, considering the alternatives. We had a double room on the ground floor. The room was simple but clean, however it had a bit of a dank smell. Pros: 1. Free breakfast (acceptable quality, but not many options). 2. Honour system with the... More

They seem to not control their online bookings very well since we arrive without booking, paid for one night and said we might stay 2 or 3 nights. The next morning they told us to leave since they had reservations and no rooms left. We... More

Casa del sol is a great cheap option away from the main road. It's a couple blocks south and 1 block west of the centre. Stayed in one of the dorms. there's a very social common area right next to the dorms which means things get noisy in the mornings and nights (although Lucia, wonderful woman who runs the place,...

We decided to stay at Casa del Sol at the beginning of our Central American tour and we enjoyed it so much that we managed to squeeze in another stay before we flew home 3 months later. The quirky layout of the hostel makes it an enjoyable place to hang out and Eric, the guy who runs it, is so... More

Really nice hostel. Owner was lovely rooms were brilliant and common area was lush!! Although the bikes available for hire were well dodge! Would recommend :) More

We initially planned on staying here a few days but ended up there for a week. The saying "you get what you pay for" does not really apply here. The room we had (room 8 from memory) was massive, clean and more then adequate. There are two floors we stayed on the top in a private room which was a... More
