Muy buen hostel, frente a la bahía y el dueño te ayuda en todo lo que necesites.

We came here, but they told us they don‘t allow parking and using their facilities for overlanders anymore. But we think the reason was they didn‘t like to have our 3,30 m high car in front of their hostel. So, just ask again.

Parking just outside hostel on beach front road. 3$ pp gives you access to dorm showers, bathroom, and courtyard in hostel. Road stays pretty busy and is well lit throughout the night. Looks like quieter and darker (and free-er) parking down the street along the seafront. Stayed one night.

Road side parking with facilities from the hostel. Do not leave anything outside your vehicle. We got our wet shorts and t shirt stolen even though we park next to the very bright lamp post. It happened in early evening when there were lots of people walking around.

Paid $3 pp to park out front and use wifi (which was excellent), bathroom and shower (shower inside a room). We were happy with this and it felt safe. We were there on a Friday and it was loud all night, but still felt it was a great option and location to explore town and be near the Costa Rica border for crossing the next morning. Fit fine on street with our truck camper.

We went to check it out and they wanted to charge us 500c. We left.

C100 per person each night to park in the front and use their WiFi, toilets, and shower. The place was not clean. Toilets did not always flush, kitchen was dirty, and the common areas could've been cleaner. It was good location to walk around, access restaurants and shopping, and it was right in front of the beach so very beautiful sunsets. Very nice owner. Street parking was loud on the days we were there but I believe due to the upcoming Día De La Revolución celebrations.

nice people working here. they let us park out the front and use their showers and toilets, kitchen, and fast wifi for 4usd per person. could connect electricity if you have a long extension cord. bathrooms and kitchen were not super clean but decent enough. breakfast was an extra 1usd if you wanted for pinto, eggs, and fried plantain. had clean water to drink as well. it's not the quietest place because you're right on the beach road but we enjoyed it nonetheless.

They let you park in front of the hostel with access to showers and bathroom as well as internet for 5$ per night. Breakfast not included by i think you can negotiate. I didn't and paid 50 cordoba for breakfast (fruits, egg, gallo pinto). Internet wifi is Turbonett C38654 password is be7cbb2e86. Cool place.
