Hostal Latina

This quiet (as possible) hostal a mere few blocks from the Parque Calderon is full of history and nice people. There's a tiny cafe on the first floor where you can get breakfast or lunch and early dinner, and the rooms are small and quite serviceable. Staff are lovely. You are seconds away by foot or taxi to just about everything. If you like very simple, this is for you. I prefer simple so this hostal was perfect. Downtown is noisy, nothing to be done about it, so I use white noise. Milton and his wife Cathy are lovely people and the staff are here most of the time. If you're not used to this, please be prepared to respect the ancient sewage lines of this city and put your used toilet paper in the basket, and let the hot water warm up for a few minutes before you get into it. I will be back here in May and most likely will stay here again.

I rated Hostal Latina on my first visit in 2018. Since then I’ve returned 6-7 times and they never disappoint. This is a budget hostal, but in my opinion you get much more than others. I’m a budget traveler and for the price I pay, I get a private room and bath in the room, hot water, a comfortable bed and pillows, good Wifi and it is always very clean. I’ve stayed by myself (as a single female) and felt very safe. I’ve also traveled with friends, and they’ve been equally as impressed with the value for the price. I love the location as well - a quiet neighborhood, but quick direct walk to the main area. I’m so thankful for a place that I can return again and again and know it will be a consistent experience. Gracias Milton y espero regresar pronto! :)
