Everything. Quite and peaceful. Located on the Pacific with a nice sea breeze from the patio n hammocks. The manager Lanier, was way beyond helpful, becoming our friend and advisor. Always asking if he could make us more comfortable. The place is kept super clean! . Easy walk to Las Penitas if you need to mingle with a lot of tourists.

Had a really good stay in the dorm, which has 4 beds , it’s clean and comfortable with personal fan bych each bed. Shared bathroom and shower was very clean so was the whole hostel. Kitchen is well equipped and you can refill your water there. The location is right where the bus stops, a few minutes walk to the beach, nice and quiet at night. You can buy some drinks like juice and beer for very good prices there and there’s a couple of shops very close to the place. Patrick , who is the owner is kind and very hospitable, we shared good chats and I can only recommend this place for a really nice stay in Penitas.

Really nice grounds, patio and hammocks. The free use bikes were very handy for grocery runs and runs to other parts of the beach as well as restaurants in the evening. The lady that manages the place is so very nice The breakfast was the best I had since I came to Nicaragua and she made it 30 mins earlier than scheduled for me as I had to catch an early bus

We stayed in the hostel for a total of 4 days, one of the nicest hostels we've been to, highly recommended - silent, clean, good WIFI and super friendly and helpful staff. The price is really good, and totally worth it. It's super CLEAN, as they change the sheets and the towels on a daily basis. The breakfast is really good, whether it's a traditional Nica plate or a plate full of pancakes. The staff helped us a lot with buses information and with calling taxis, and were friendly and nice in general. There are 2 well equipped kitchens. the location is fairly good, like a 10 minutes walk from the center. The photo we attached is of the "dorms" room (2 beds) we stayed in for 1 night, the rest of the time we spent in the private room which was much bigger and the bed was very comfortable :) Over all 10/10

There were lots of places to lounge and relax. The room was small but comfortable with a fan to keep things cool at night. Well equipped kitchen and a good Nica style breakfast. Very close to the centre of town and walking distance to museums, art galleries and the main market.

The location was great, very centric. The place itself is charming, has a very homely vibe with the pool, the fountain and lounge area with a hammock and coffee tables. The room was spacious, clean, and had A/C. The bed was comfortable and big. The staff were very attentive. They cook breakfast for you every morning with a nice cup of coffee, and you just feel like you're staying at a relative's home. We were an LGBT couple travelling and we felt very welcome. It was very quiet and it was great to rest for a few days while enjoying the city of Leon. We paid about 45$ per night in a double room with AC including the 17% tax (we had not picked this up from the Booking breakdown and it was an unpleasant surprise), which I think is still good value.

All hostels in Poneloya

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    This hostel is a little slice of paradise! It’s the perfect place to relax for a week (or more!). They have great facilities, delicious food, really friendly staff and volunteers and lots of hammocks. We got to release baby turtles and it was amazing! Can’t recommend this place more; it’s one of the best hostels I’ve ever stayed in.

    The beach nearby the hostel is really beautiful, calm and less crowded. Almost only the hostel guests are there! The sunset and outside area of the hostel is really worth it! The food you can order at the restaurant there is really delicious and they have vegetarian options!
