Reviews of Hostal Casa Cascada

I love a firm bed so the beds were perfect for me. I was comfortable sleeping and the controlled ac. The location, while about a 25 minute walk to the tourist area, offered local and budget friendly eats, access to taxis, and little mom and pop shops for things like fruit and snacks. Prices were way better than down at the port. The family that owns this place are very nice and willing to help whenever you need it.

Just that I was a few floors up. My knees were not happy but it did help with getting my steps in.

Clean and basic - scuffed walls but beds were lovely.

We knew this but It is a bit of a hike to town especially if you intend to walk further eg Tortuga bay. I think about a 15-20 walk. Worst thing, perhaps just to bad timing, was the noisy construction work on the floor above from about 7.30 am all day

I highly recommend this accomodation. Everything was perfect. Nice atmosphere and very clean.

Very good for the price. I had a spacious room for 4 people just for myself, with private bathroom. Very clean and well mantained. Free water. Wifi ok. The owner is a tour guide. Is 20 minute walking from the touristic spots so you are not overcharged when you do groceries is the area

This hotel is lovely and comfortable! The beds were comfortable and rooms very clean! The AC and wifi worked well. The staff is super helpful and offer discounted rates on tours and taxis! It’s a bit of a walk to the main area, however there are plenty of cheap food and bakery options minutes away from the hotel. We walked everywhere no problem. We would stay again without hesitation!

They tried to scam me

Very very clean, well equiped kitchen

À Little far from town (20 minutes walk or 5 minutes with taxi 1,50$)

Staff were very helpful, room was nice and clean, wifi worked well, shops at the front door

No common area / space to cook or store food, a bit away from the main area but only $1.50 for a taxi down

Super clean, spacious rooms with comfortable bed and good shower

Very kind and thoughtful owners, with the son being always down for a chat, the father an official park guide that can help with organizing trips and the mother taking great care of you to ensure your room is comfortable. Room is super clean and tidy, everyday they came in to tidy it up. The area has many little shops and food options, bustling with locals and no tourists, love it!

The neighborhood has many dogs that bark loudly throughout the night, but that's a minor inconvience.

The decoration

The hotel is located in a terrible neighborhood (La Cascada) , and the streets are filthy and stinky. I had to pick up empty bottle of alcohol from the entrance and trought them away in the bin of my room. The street is highly congested; people put very loud music all day and night, and cars make a lot of noise. Taxi prices rise at night. The hotel is located far from restaurant and town, so expect to spend a cab fare each way. With the money you'll spend on taxis, you should book an hotel near the center. The neighborhood is unsafe; avoid walking after 21:00, especially if you are a woman.

Besides a hostel they also have a sort of travel agency and they helped us a lot. We got some really nice discounts. The rooms are clean, spacious, have air conditioner, hot water and private bathroom.

We had an issue with the gear we rented from there, but I think that was just unlucky. We like about everything about our accommodation. The distance from the center is only 15 min walk or 4 min taxi (every taxi only costs 1.5 usd). With the money we saved booking trips with our host we could have taken taxis everywhere. Another advantage of the location is prices for food. The food in that area is 3 or 4 times cheaper than on tge turist side, so again.. The location helped a lot.

The room has a good size, the beds are comfortable, and the shower is super nice. There is water to refill your bottle. WiFi is quite fast (outside of our room). The owner helps with tours and excursions.

The WiFi reception in the room (third floor) was not super good. Outside good connection. No kitchen, so you can't cook or have a tea. The location is good 20 mins. walk from the center (or 1,50$ taxi), but we liked to see the local life there.

Affordable, comfortable, clean, great shower with hot water!! Friendly staff, give useful information. Just a 15 minute walk from the more lively area of town.

Lovely hosts. Very clean and over all a very good place to stay.

Great place and taxis up the hill are only 1.50

perfect price/performance ratio, very clean, hot shower, strong WiFi, nice district, a little away from the tourist crowds, very nice and helpful operator

What i liked most Is that the structure was very well cleaned. The room was very big and with A/C. The beds super confortable. The room was very bright. I liked the location as It Is between the main points (turtles bay, Darwin stations etc) and some minutes away from the fully turists zones. I liked the people around the structure, the local market and other local things. The host and her husband are nice. They gave me many explanations and i could contact them many time for every question.

I did not like that in my room there was a lot of noise. I could not sleep as I was in the First floor. But if you sleep upper rooms will be fine. I had my room also near the common kitchen and there was a lot of noise in the morning!! The host was nice but when I asked some tips for diving she wanted to reserve for me a dive center without telling me with which dive center. She Is also selling the boat tours to the other Islands at 35 instead of 30 USD (btw I did not ask the reason ...maybe there was something included ;-) ). When i extended for the room she asked me some more dollars compaired with booking!
