In case you haven't figured this out already, San Pedro is extremely expensive. Finding a decent room under $30 is practically impossible but Sonchek fit the bill. It was a calm environment. Guests are talking lowly in all areas and management is understandable that a majority of their guests will wake up at 6am or earlier for their full day... More

We stayed in a double room with shared bath. Clean, comfy with good beds and because of the layout of the hostal very little street noise. Friendly helpful staff that was present and interacting with guests. We took advantage of the shared kitchen which was a big hit. We also spent time in the hammocks, also a big hit. We... More

I booked my room well in advance since I heard good reviews about this place. However, on my first night, I felt bed bugs crawling over me and I could not sleep because the bites were so insanely itchy!!! When I complained about the bed bugs, at first they told me that it was mosquitos. I showed them the multiple... More

In return i got a nice place with great atmosphere and tranquility close to the center of activity. The room is clean. I receive wifi very well, bed is... More

The woman who runs this hostel is very hard working, multilingual and ensures your stay is comfortable. Cheap single rooms are available but you must book in advance (about $20). Dorm room near main road is loud so try get one away from the road/reception. They scrub the hostel clean every day. They have mixed dorms with 4 beds. The... More

Centrally located, we were very well suprised by this hostel, first because it is quite cheap for SPA, and the cleanliness of the place. We stayed in a double room with shared bathroom. Room was clean. All rooms are distributed around a central patio, with 4-5 bathrooms which are regularly cleaned by the ladies, so it was very convenient and... More

Certain aspects of this place were decent and I am sure the place would be fine for an elderly couple but do not go here if you might want to have a beer anytime after 6pm. According to the crazy French woman who runs this place, there is a no alcohol policy and she referred to a sign that read,... More

Breakfast is not included but the hostal has a deal with a restaurant just behind. Above all, the staff is extremely friendly and available. The hostel is well maintained and... More
