Staff, especially from the kitchen / breakfast area, weren't nice. People scream your name from there so you can pick up your food instead of bringing the food to your table.

Information about different trips around San juan were very well detailed

it all feels very commercial: it doesn't seem like they enjoy accommodating. rather, tourists are just a consistent way to make money. i don't need the staff to be my buddies, but a smile goes a long way. the staff is almost exclusively men. some seem kind, but most just stare. for balance, vibe, and comfort, they could really stand to hire some women (and not just for cooking and housekeeping). the dorms are very crowded, which is such a shame where snorers and messy surfer bros are concerned. loads of street noise, even over the fans and AC -- but that says more about the culture of the town than the hostel. there are a lot of a-holes being as loud as possible on motorbikes and ATVs here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it doesn't feel very secure, as the main floor is fully open to the streets. they permit vending & solicitation in the cafe section, so your meals and coffees and digital nomad tasks will be disturbed by people coming in to sell bracelets and toys and snacks. they close the walls at night and there is at least security. there are cheaper, friendlier hostels with similar amenities within walking distance. maybe this is a good place if you just need a place to sleep between adventures. i don't recommend it on a personal level, but it's fine overall.

good location, AC and fans are so appreciated, and the breakfast options are really nice. free filtered water on each floor. pretty clean, the roof offers a lot of peace and good views. bunk beds have curtains which are efficient for privacy (but not blocking light).

Great lobby, very good shuttles, and good cafe. The free breakfast was delicious. Rooms were very nice, with large lockers and lots of privacy. Great location as well.

Lighting in my room was very dim and the shower stream was weak.

Rooms were equipped with air-conditioning which is essential in San Juan del Sur, and the included breakfast was good.

Great spot to stay whether choosing a hostel bunk bed room or a private room, both were great! Would definitely stay again without any concerns. Check-in and out were simple, free tasty breakfast included (although a cup of their cafe's local Nica coffee with breakfast would have been a nice touch but was not included), easy access to lots of daytrips and tours, local surf beach shuttles, airport shuttles, etc. Great location just a block from the beach. Comfy, clean shared common areas with chairs, hammocks, roof-top seating. A great spot in a beautiful area of Nicaragua to spend some time.

The bunk beds are a little shake on top bunks. But a minor inconvenience

Staff and location are great. Breakfast is simple but included. The shuttle to beaches leave from there and are on time.

Not particularly social, not many places to hang out. The shuttle driver either forgot to pick us up from the beach or was extremely late and after over an hour of waiting me and a couple of others had to hitchhike back to town, however they did give us a refund.

Great location, rooms are a good size with lots of plug sockets.

Bunk beds are really really wobbly. Earthquake when your bunk buddy rolls over in the night. Kitchen was awful. Not even a cutting knife.

Great location Friendly staff (especially the night time security guard - legend)

Stayed in January 2025

Pretty good really perhaps abit noisy at times but you get that with a big hostel and coffee with breakfast would be good

Great location for everything coffee shop/ snacks if needed good breakfast included and live music on Fri/Sat nights

Stayed in January 2025

Breakfast was really basic, with no vegetarian options. The pillows were really small and could use upgrades. Cold water showers only

Perfect location in town & the hostel is really cute. The AC in the room was really good and lots on offer for activities to do in and around town. Its close to the beach but the main bay is no good for swimming or surfing, they offer shuttles to the better beaches

not very helpful reception, kitchen not friendly at all and breakfast medium, not very social

ubicación, beachshuttle, great coffee

Some hammocks would be nice to relax in, not much comfy seating. The AC in my room was leaking, which had a towel in it. Breakfast basic and not particularly good value for money.

Good location in San Juan, nice chilled hostel. Facilities clean and staff helpful.

Note that this isn't about the hostel but a service offered through them - I felt a little bit conned with the shuttle I hired to get over the boarder to Liberia from the hostel. I was asked to pay for the shuttle the night before by one of the hostel staff. In the morning there was no direct shuttle from the hostel and had to get a taxi to the border (which I obviously had to pay for). At the border I jumped on the tica bus, which again I had to pay for. As far as I can tell, there is no shuttle service to Liberia and it was just a con job for the unwary traveller which was disappointing.

The location of the hostel was pretty great. Just a short walk back from the beach and not far from a small grocery store (and ATM). The food served in the restaurant attached was decent and the pina colada wasn't bad either. I only stayed the single night, and that night had a band playing downstairs - for me it was great entertainment, but they did go on until nearly 10pm, which may or may not be a concern. Unsure if this is a regular occurrence, but for me it was pretty nice to kick back and listen to. I didn't use many of the tour services advertised, but there certainly seemed to be something for everyone.

Wifi does not extend to upstairs buuuuuut that gives you more chance to socialize.

ThI location is good, with a chill atmosphere and roof top view. The AC in the room I was in was perfect for a comfy nights sleep. Just be sure to bring a padlock for the locker under your bed.
