Hosteria Los Helechos

The location is a 5min walk to the main bus terminal, some restaurants and shopping, and the hummingbird sanctuary is around the corner. There was a swimming pool, which some other places do not have. The room was comfortable, and cleaned daily.

The room we had (room 2) is located directly behind the front desk, so is the first room after going through the doors. The doors make a noise when opened, and since people are coming and going from 5am to after midnight, its hard to get decent sleep. There were numerous power failures in the town, and there is emergency lighting that turns ON during this period. The emergency light inside our room has NO switch to turn it off. During a power failure in the middle of the night, the light turns on, and cannot be turned off. We did ask a staff member to turn it off, but they were also unable to find the switch in the room. The room was completely filled with a lot of mosquitoes when we arrived, possibly due to the door being left open before arrival. A mosquito net should be added since it is really a problem there. The breakfast is poor, it is a buffet with mainly dry cakes and stale bread rolls, bread shaped like croissants, some ham, slices of cheese, jams, cereal, yogurt, and fruit juices.

Great location , easy walk to the bus station and food

This hotel is very dated . Would be nice to brighten it up !!!!

Decent breakfast. Quite central location.

The room was basic which reflected the price. Beware! The free shuttle service from the airport works only if you book it at least 48 hours in advance and operates between 7 am and 10 pm. You’ll find out about it only once you’ve actually booked the room.
