    The ceiling fan was so inefficient. Nearly useless.

    The two hostesses were pleasant, efficient and kind. The best local surf spot was right out the back gate. The deck was excellent for viewing the activities. Great restaurants were close by. Considering it's location it was quiet at night. Great for sleeping.

    Very caring and friendly staff! Love the location right at the surf beach including sun beds in the shadow which is rare to find. It was extremely clean, the kitchen is well equipped and the cleanest I have ever experienced in a shared kitchen. There are hammocks to chill and the terrasse has a fabulous view over the ocean. I would highly recommend staying here to enjoy surfing, nearby restaurants, yoga, massages etc and then go to party to the center.

    Very nice and cozy property right by the beach, so any room you chose you sleep with the sound of the ocean. The staff is super friendly and very helpful, the vibe is nice and very relaxing. It’s 10 min walk from the village center, that makes it just perfect, cause you stay away from the loud clubs and bars. Perfect for the money. I will be back!

    Nothing!

    The hotel is small and right on the beach! Lots of common spaces that feel so private. Everyone here is super chill. No late night noise. The rooms are very basic, but very comfortable. I was concerned the rooms might get hot at night, but actually the fan is so strong I got cold. The hot shower is wonderful. This end of the beach is great for surfing and lots of little treasures nearby. Perfect place to enjoy the beach!

    Beachfront and just enough far away from the centre for tranquility at night and a not crowded beach during the day, it was more the surfers area. About 15 min walk from the centre alongside the beach. Good quality/price!

    It feels a bit expensive compared with others.

    Location was really good, directly on the beach. It is not in the centre but that made it perfect for us as it is more quiet.

    I absolutely loved the location being right on the beach, allowing you to sleep to the beautiful sound of the ocean. This hostal is a 10 minute walk to the main centre, which means your aren't kept up all night by all of the weekend partying, but are not far from the action if you want to party. The price is cheaper than surrounding hostels, and they provide free coffee, tea and filtered water. I'd highly recommend this hostal to anyone who wants to be close to the beach, but in a relatively quiet spot.

    The girl at the desk tried to give me a much smaller room than what I booked downstairs with no windows. I reserved a room upstairs with a sea view. When she finally moved me upstairs it was a room with no view even though the room that I reserved next to where I stayed was not occupied. Most of the rooms have windows that open to the hallway or areas inside the hotel.

    Walkable along the beach from the party area. Nice shared kitchen. They also let me keep my bag in the office for a few hours the next day.

    Very disappointing. Could have paid the same somewhere much nicer for less money.
    • Leisure trip

    • Classic Triple Room

    We arrived to our room which was right next to a lot of building work. There was a lot of dust in the room from all of the work. When we asked to move, we were told we would have to pay a lot more to move to a bigger room which we ended up doing. However we soon found there was no escaping the noise and the fans in the room were not adequate for the size of the room and so it was very uncomfortable. We were never made aware of the works on booking, or even checking in

    The girls on reception were nice

    The hotel/restaurant next door plays music like they’re the only property within about 2 km radius for 10 hours a day, every single day! Longer and even louder (if that’s possible) on weekends. They do it even without one single client there. Actually they do probably because there is no client and hoping to tell people within a 2 km radius that they have the biggest baddest sound system this side of town, that they’re the new party place outside of town (where people actually stay to get away from the noise). That’s how loud is it. Forget relaxing in tranquility in the common areas or even in your room. Solemare was accommodating as they let me change to a beautiful room farther away from them but it’s like they took it as a cue to amp up the music even more. And Solemare will not let you change your reservation so don’t book too many days at once unless you’re impervious to noise.

    Extremely nice and accommodating staff. Really great people, saved the stay from being a disaster given the negative below. Beautiful common areas in front of the ocean. Surf spot is right in front of you.

    Mosquitos in the room were bad, even with repellent. It would have been nice if bed nets were provided.

    The room didn't have a great ventilation so it smells very moldy. The towels had some stains but were clean. The price is cheap compared to the other ones and the facilities reflect that.

    The location is excellent, it's in the quiet side of montanita. It's right on the sand and at the best surfing spot. The staff is friendly and the place is very safe. The internet was very good, I worked and had several business calls without any problem.
