Old House Hostel

San Ignacio


There's a lot to like about this hostel above the sometimes-happening Soul Project bar. The two eight-bed dorms are clean and spacious with lockers and wi-fi, and there's a neat common room, self-catering kitchen and street-view balcony. There's only one private double room so book ahead.
