Floor of room was full of hairs and other undefined stuff, and it´s a 15 minute walk to the city centre, which is very long for such a small town. Coming back in the night is a very quiet, dark walk back. Door of hostel is always open, even at night??? Shower is cold, if there's any water at all, and the door of both showers/ toilets cannot be locked. Character of the hostel is very good however, and Roberto is a very nice guy. Transport service (only on appointment ofcourse) is a big plus.Floor of room was full of hairs and other undefined stuff, and it´s a 15 minute walk to the city centre, which is very long for such a small town.

Although a bit of a walk, the owner was very nice and took good care of us. The courtyard with hammocks was my favorite area. The Kitchen is very small but has everything you need. Also be prepared for lots of flies, so always keep your door closed! Although a bit of a walk, the owner was very nice and took good care of us. The courtyard with hammocks was my favorite area.

Rustic place with relaxed feel. Basic but suitable for the desert! Hot water not reliable, came on and off in both showers I had. 24hr pick up is excellent and Roberto is very friendly with good English. Note if you are arriving in San Pedro late at night like we did, there is NOTHING at the bus terminal, not even a terminal! Having Roberto there waiting for us even though our bus was 1 hr late after midnight was fantastic and essential. Rustic place with relaxed feel. Basic but suitable for the desert!

I had a great time at this hostel. It was a 10 minute walk from town, but it was relaxing, and the owner is so so nice. He picked us up at the bus station and met us in town with our luggage when we were leaving so we didn´t even have to walk back to get it.I had a great time at this hostel.

Hostal Iquisa is a family-run hostel only a few mins walk from the centre of town. The location is perfect because it's away from the noise of the centre and you can see the stars so clearly as you take the short walk home. Roberto, the guy who runs the hostel is super-friendly. The bed was more comfortable than my bed at home! The rooms and shared bathrooms were kept clean and there are hammocks in a courtyard in the centre of the hostel to relax in. This hostel is great value for money! Hostal Iquisa is a family-run hostel only a few mins walk from the centre of town.

it's about 10 minutes from the centre in a residential part of town. Roberto provides the great service of picking up and dropping off at the bus station, and is very welcoming. the bed was really comfortable, but 3 of my showers were cold and the last one was warm for the first minute, although others staying there said they had hot ones. kitchen use was helpful and the courtyard with the hammocks was a great place to relax.it's about 10 minutes from the centre in a residential part of town.
