Guesthouse Dos Molinos B&B — Hotel in San Pedro Sula

This is a helpful, friendly guest house in a city that tempts people into the big franchise hotels, and I can recommend it strongly. My room was clean, comfortable, and had the air-conditioning required in this often hot and humid city. If you're not accustomed to San Pedro Sula, or to Latin America generally, the neighborhood may not look great at first, but few neighborhoods in San Pedro do. However, it's in the good part of the city, and it appears to be perfectly safe; I walked all around the area without encountering trouble, or even sensing any. It's only a short (and safe) walk to a major commercial area, with a shopping mall and several restaurants and cafes, though many, unfortunately, are (North)American restaurant and fast-food franchises. I might add, by the way, that I found San Pedro Sula not at all to be the frightening place that travel rumors, and our media, make it out to be, though it's not much of a "charmer." Stick to the safe, west half, stay at Dos Molinos, and you...

This is my second time reviewing as I think once you've used a service for more than 10 years they deserve another review... ||Blanca and her son do all they can to ensure their guests feel at home. ||A bus breakdown yesterday lead to me missing my flights and connections. Blanca was at the airport, with a smile, in under an hour of my WhatsApp message and whisked me 'home'. ||The Ritz, it is not; but over the past decade I've found this guesthouse to be clean, safe and full of smiles. ||You can expect to pay around $30 for a private double room. |Your room includes breakfast (sadly my schedule has not allowed me to enjoy this offering yet) ||$15 each way for pick ups from the airport (at any time of night or day) ||WiFi signal is strong in all 6 rooms (I've stayed in them all now!) ||You are within a short walk of the mall and 10-15mins drive to the bus station. ||And I will keep coming to visit this kind family for many...

I had to stay here overnight for the TICA bus next morning. And ended up paying 18 US dollar, which seems expensive to me. (12 for the bed and 6 for the lift from the bus station) when I looked at the website hostelworld it was unclear that single travelers had to pay for the lift; which is frustrating because it is worded incorrectly. Considering Honduras is a poor country 18 dollar is a lot. Plus, no hot water for shower; plus, to use the kitchen you have to pay for the "gas", first time I've heard of it from my hostelling experience. No breakfast offered for early departure, not even a banana. No security lockers and they don't give you the key; become very impatient because everytime I had to ask for the key to open my door. Finally they just said I can leave the door open, with other guests upstairs. I did not feel secure putting my stuff in my...
