Hostal Los Chamos, hotel in San Juan del Sur

Hostal Los Chamos has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and bar in San Juan del Sur.

The rooms were good sized. AC worked very good. Large window if you want to air out the room. Good basic breakfast, usually a large pancake and a cup of coffee. Had cubed fruit one day, and beans and rice another. Very helpful and friendly staff. It is a very short block from some very good restaurants that are on the beach. Good location. They offer regular shuttles to nearby beaches and back to the airport. I did use them for the personal shuttle picking me up from the airport in Managua.

    Very clean, really well decorated, rooms and bathrooms are a good size. Lenin was a great and helpful host. So far the best hostel I have stayed in. 5 mins away from the main bus stop and in a great location. Really recommend a stay here.

    Great location just 3' downhill wallk to the beach. Pretty organised with lockers, ensure bathrooms, breakfast and they also accept cards (without additional charge). It's pretty as sociable as I like and doesn't become a party hostel. Had a great stay!

    Cute hostel with private rooms a few meters from the beach and the main street where most shops and restaurants are located. Our room was quite small but very cheap. The hosts are nice and try to help when you have a question.
