Hostal Loco Coco Loco — Hotel in Bella Vista

Tldr: you get what you paid for. Note: Rating is adjusted for the price. Location: the location is great, a quiet street very close to the city center with many restaurants, a mall and access to transportation. Room: I took a private room with a private bathroom, and spent 7 days there.

When I wanted to leave my luggage in the safe deposit box in the morning, they asked for extra money and then said they did not understand.They didn't speak English either. I moved to another hotel. Two of my friends were coming next week, but unfortunately I can't recommend it. I've been staying in hostels for 1.5 months, unfortunately it was a bad experience.And room(bed) light is...

The dorms are small and crowded, after the first night I upgraded to a “mini private” that cost more than dorms but less than private room. The room has a bunk bed and shared bathroom with the rest of the hostel. The bathroom was clean and nice. The location is not central to the bars and party areas which is good because it’s quiet. The hostel helps book tours to San Blas and other attractions. The owners and workers are kind and helpful. The pool...
