Hotel has hot water unlike many in Central America. Beds were comfortable. WII was decent in room. There is a shared balcony on each floor with a couple plastic chairs. The employees are great. They have always been very helpful. One of the receptioist has decent English language skills. Her English has improved since my first stay. If you turn left as you exit hotel, there is a minimart just past the first cross street. Or turn right at this same cross street (after turning left as you departed hotel) and follow this street. You will arrive at Via Espana near several (maybe 10) different restaurants. Or, turn left at this same cross street, and you are only 1 short block from Via Argentina.

Complete with a private bathroom, guest rooms at Hostal Amador Familiar are equipped with air conditioning, and selected rooms come with a seating area. At the accommodation each room is fitted with bed linen and towels. It's super close to the airport which is the main reason for booking it. Also we love that it was family run and operated. They helped us with all of our questions and concerns! We got in late and they directed us to a nearby store to get food and Sim cards to save money. The air-conditioning was great in the room and much needed after a few hit nights.
