Superb hostel, would highly recommend to anyone traveling through, a starting/ending location to your trip in Honduras. ||This city has lots of hidden gems and feels like your ‘off the beaten track’. Me and my partner were pleasantly surprised with how much it had to offer. So many cool dive bars and friendly locals happy to see you enjoying their city. This city really is a ‘hidden gem on the gringo trail’. Me and my partner (both on a six month traveling trip of South/Central America) had to skip Nicaragua due to political unrest and flew from Costa Rica to Honduras, we had no expectations but were extremely surprised by this lively, quirky and happening hostel - the staff here and owners make you feel at home and most importantly safe. ||We found the flight to be cheaper into Tegucigalpa than San Pedro (by $200) so it’s a great alternative entry point into Honduras, plus it’s super easy by bus to Bay Islands. The hostel has heaps of information on the area, and onward destinations in Honduras. They can help and sort any onward travel too! ||The dorms are well equipped with an ensuite, comfortable beds, charging outlets, air con, fan and even a fridge in the room! Juan and Coco the owners our legends and speak fluent English! The food offered here at the hostel is epic and the beer is ice cold! We instantly felt safe and at home once arriving to this hostel. ||We will be back! ||Thanks...
Read moreLa Ronda is a good spot to visit, as long as you're not looking for a restful place. The hostel is very nice... for a bar. Don't misunderstand. The rooms are nice, the staff is friendly and helpful. It's just that it's much more of a popular local bar than it is an actual "hostel". By day it's what you might expect from a hostel (except the community kitchen is actually a bar kitchen where boundaries aren't clear and it's locked until mid morning to make sure folks don't steal liquor and the restaurant's food). By night it turns into a loud and packed bar that the locals frequent. I've stayed at many hostels and quite a few of them have bars, but this place is more of a bar than a hostel. I give it an average only because they aren't upfront about the fact that most of their business is the local bar scene. Lots of noise, lots of folks getting wasted. However... it was fun so there's that. If you like to party, this is your spot, if you want to rest, maybe...
Read moreGo to Tegucigalpa and stay at La Ronda Hostel! ||If you are just stopping for one night on your way to the islands in the north or you want to stay and see the capitol, look no further. JP (the owner) grew up and lives in the same building and speaks perfectly english and knows where to go and what to do, and can also help you with your connecting transportation. ||They do not have that many rooms, so it may be a good idea to book in advance, because you don't want to have to stay somewhere else! |The rooms are perfect, clean with comfortable beds, A/C and is located in the middle of the town but still in a quiet neighbourhood.||They also have a café who turns into a bar and restaurant in the night, if you for some reason don't want to leave the hostel. If Coco is there, share a beer (or water) with the two of them in the bar and listen to some good music!||In the end is your way...
