You get what you pay for. No hot water and they clean my room only once at my 6 nights stay. I will not stay here again. The only good thing about this place is the people who works there and its a short walk to old town.

The place is good to sleep only. Nothing fancy. I have some mosquitoes in my room. And it's not that clean. Basically, you get what you pay for. Ever the guy receptionist is very helpful, even the lady at check out.

Excellent location for a low price - very close to Casco Viejo and some very good restaurants. Staff were present, friendly, and helpful. My room had a very functional air conditioner, and a bathroom. The street outside is a brick-paved pedestrian-only shopping street, leading into Casco Viejo.

I had a great time at hostal la cigarra. It is located in the neighborhood of Santa Ana, just steps away from Casco Viejo. I was unsure of the location at first because I saw some sketchy areas around but in the end I felt really safe even as a female solo traveler. I even came back for another night after a trip to San Blas islands. It’s located on a pedestrian street across from a supermarket, next to a bakery and around the corner from a “feria” where there are all kinds of stalls of people selling beautiful stuff at a great price. I recommend this place.

For the price and proximity to the Old Towne, you cant beat it. Wifi speed was great, however lacks power outlets in co-working area. Property is secure with passcard access. Small commissary onsite for beverages, snacks, laundry.

A nice, quiet, clean, and comfortable place to stay near the 5 de Mayo metro station & Casco Viejo. Sr. Ever (?) was very helpful as was the young man who checked me in. Would definitely stay here again.

Value for money ok. It seems as if the accommodation is still being renovated and old rooms are offered which are very outdated. Nevertheless, the host charges a fair price and still endeavours to provide a good room. At first we were not satisfied with the accommodation, but the receptionist (or owner?) then provided us with a better room and even washed all our laundry free of charge as compensation. The location is great! Just a few metres from the centre of Casco Viejo and the underground , bus station. Great to experience life outside the tourist centre. Thanks again for the hospitality!

Easy check in, friendly service, awesome laundry rates and in a decent area. Make sure they give you a key to get in at the gate!! They're doing construction so no rooftop area at the moment. Walkable to fish market and Casco Veijo (never felt unsafe). Grocery store nearby. No hot water was the downside, otherwise, for the amount we paid, we were satisfied.

Not the Ritz but what would you expect for $30 a night in Casco Viejo. Staff was wonderful. Bar on the property was a plus. What really shines is the location.
