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.

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 is a very social hostel, almost always full and in the evenings the volcano boarding bus shows up and everyone plays volleyball til dark. thoroughly enjoyed the scene and amount of people lounging around taking in the atmosphere.

    Great location, 2 min walk to town with all the privacy you need. The pool is AMAZING and sooo nice to have it to myself. There's a fully equipped kitchen, bathroom, shower and everything you need. I feel right at home here. The best place I've ever stayed in Nicaragua for sure. I will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Very nice place overall, it looks much more expensive than it is. Pool is cleaned daily. Easy place to relax but close access to the beach. Away from the noise of the backpacker hostels. The food is outstanding. I'd happily stay there again. The employees don't speak any English but are attentive and friendly.

    Patrick, the owner, went above and beyond to help everyone out, with great recommendations for nearby, a really easy system for cheap drinks at the hostel and he even repaired my board bag for me when it broke a little. There is a really nice relaxed vibe at the hostel, a great kitchen and an amazing dog! Would recommend

    It was probably the best hostel I've stayed on the beach side in Nicaragua! The vibe was just amazing, so laid-back but family-like and friendly. Matteo, the owner is super fun and helpful, the rooms nice and clean, the kitchen comfortable, beach is just 2 mins walk. Common area was pretty and comfortable to work (good wifi, unless there's no electricity in whole village haha) or just chill. Lovely volunteers as well!
