Hostel Julieta, hotel in Rivas

Hostel Julieta is set in Rivas, 33 km from Christ of the Mercy Nicaragua, and has a terrace. Free WiFi is available and private parking can be arranged at an extra charge.

When I arrived I was tired and hungry because of my itinerary and no food on the flight. Rex, the owner, graciously cooked me a delicious meal and never charged for it! I was saved from going to sleep hungry. Julieta is always charming, knowledgable and informative with any questions. I will be using Hostal Julieta in the future whenever I need to pass through Rivas for my flights or visa runs.

Hostal Villas Mexico, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Located in San Juan del Sur, 300 metres from Marsella Beach, Hostal Villas Mexico provides accommodation with a seasonal outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge.

We felt totally safe and enjoyed that it was a 4-5 minute walk to Playa Marsella. Playa Maderas was an 8 - 10 minute motorcycle ride and there were 3 or 4 more restaurants to choose from as well as options for surf board rentals and lessons.

Looking for a hostel?
Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    The price was very good and the room had everything we needed, including a cord to hang out clothes. It is not a fancy place. We liked the vibes and the atmosphere. The family that runs the hostel is super nice and helpful.

    There were only two redeeming qualities this hostel possessed to make our stay somewhat bearable: the volunteers and the proximity to Playa Amarillo. The volunteers were terrific, very friendly, very helpful, and excelled at giving the place some energy. The hostel is located just five minutes from Playa Amarillo, which was some fantastic surfing while we were there and something I would recommend to anyone that surfs, especially beginner to intermediate surfers.

    It was very pleasant stay in this family hostel. It is little bit far from city center and bus station, but you can easily walk or take a cheap taxi. ATM, shops or restaurants are few minutes far. It's quiet and safe place with good kitchen and wifi. Hosts also let us do our laundry there. I can't recommend more. I have to say that hosts were so friendly and price is more than good.

    Max and Martha were the perfect hosts! This property is their home and they really make you feel like it’s also your home. I stayed one night after visiting Ometepe Island and before an early flight the following morning. They offered to pick me up from the ferry and helped me organise the fastest and cheapest transport to get to Managua early the following day. They even woke up and took me to the bus stop around the corner at 4am and checked in with messages to make sure I arrived safe! Such a lovely, homely experience!

    The location of the hostel is just perfect. Small cabins surounded by coconut trees. Its remote but you feel safe all the time. 5 min walk to the beautiful beach of Popoyo. Trent couldn't be a better host. In the morning you get an awesome breakfast with fresh fruits from the area and in the evenings Trent will explore the local kitchen with you.

    Great stay at Ruamoko hostel. The owner welcomes you with a smile and kindness. The dormitory is big and spacious there are even 2 bathrooms in the room of 8! The sea is just next door and the atmosphere is really cool in the hostel. I recommend :)

    I really liked our stay in Hostal Maria. She is the cutest ‚mama‘ and makes the best breakfast :) we booked two beds in the dorm and were alone for our whole stay, that was funny. so if you just need a place to sleep and not for party or meeting people or cooking your own stuff this is super worth it for the cheap price!
