Staff was very helpful in helping me find transportation. Very well located- close to restaurants in downtown and close to the bus stop that goes to airport which was a huge savings in cab fares.

good value
This is a good home base if you are looking to hang out in Santa Elena for a few days. It's a nice hostel with private rooms. I wouldn't suggest sharing 1 bed, they were very soft. I'd upgrade to the bigger rooms with two beds. The walls are a bit thin, but that's very typical with all the places around there. If you want more, you need to pony up more money. Great location that is central to downtown Santa Elena. Overall, I'd return. Oh, and they have lots of monkeys and coati.

The location is great if you don't have a car. The staff were welcoming and helpful. Breakfast is simple but adequate. Night security effective! Our major complaint was the state of our bathroom, old and worn with not enough hot water to take a decent shower. I don't mind simple but hot water is a necessity.
