Cheap, but very loud. Did not stay in the room or even in the same hostel that was advertised on photos.

Has a kitchen and a small sitting area outside. Room had AC which made it bearable. Is in a gated alleyway so I suppose it felt kind of safe. Room had lockers.

Was told that I’m staying in Hostel Michael after being told that check in is there, which I assume is a hostel run by the same owners just down the street from IWANA. Room was connected by windows and doors to the owners house or other houses attached to it, so it was super loud the entire night..pots and dishes clanking, people yelling, very loud music, and large fireworks that sounded like they were literally outside of my room. Only 1 bathroom attached to the main lobby.

Oke wenns nur vor einem Flug ist

Gute Lage

Im Zimmer seeehr warm und stickig. Man konnte nur Barzahlen und deshalb musste ich alleine im dunkeln zum Geldautomaten. Gibt bessere Momente!

Passable

We booked to stay at this place but a few hours before we were due to arrive we got a message that there was a problem with the room and they had somewhere else for us to stay close by. I checked on booking.com and it was cheaper than the place we had booked but they told us it was more expensive. The room was ok but we had chosen Casa IWANA because it had a proper kitchen, the room they put us in had a little stove and fridge. No space to prepare food or eat and had to wash up in the shower.

We cannot recommend this hotel.

The restaurant next to House Michel (close to House IWANA) has Falafels, which were really good!

The bathroom was without soap.The shower was cold. Noise of dogs at night. There was nothing to clean in the kitchen. We saw cockroaches. The furniture stinks! The curtains are badly placed. Too much light coming into the room.

Not very clean

The location is good

The mattress was very uncomfortable, moldy, stinky and old, the whole room stinky and smelled of sweat, the fan was so dusty it spread dust around the tiny room, they dnt like to change sheets.

comfortable beds, good location, no AC

+ kitchen and fridge to use + super nice staff! + great (vegan) restaurant at the hostel one block away (Casa Michael, that’s where you check in and where the staff is in case of a question) + comfortable beds + location is allright. feels like a really safe neighborhood, Bus to the city center takes a while (but is cheap with 35 cents) Uber takes shorter (more expensive with 4-10 dollars though) + supermarket, food places and a mall close by

- no AC, the fan was really loud and didn’t cool the room down at all! - just cold showers

nice place to stay one or two nights to rest a bit

Great price for a private room. The kitchen was alright

they didn’t have a reception, you had to check in at casa michael that was a few minutes walking distance. this was not informed to me though so I had to wait outside for quite awhile until another guest told me. It doesn’t have air condition, and it’s not a place to stay if you want to meet other travellers.

Fair for the price

Little money for a single room, artful details (paintings, decoration), helpful employees, delicious vegan falafel restaurant

It's very confusing to find, none of the taxi drivers have known the "IWANA" hotel, only casa Michael (which belongs to the area too), this could be changed. The property itself has a shady vibe, not very friendly

The place was very quiet, you don't see anyone exet a litle cat , very lovely cat l feed it every day other than that the place is for resting.

No TV in the Room or AC , no hot wster nether and the room very small, also the stove not strong enough meaning the fire is very small to cook.

Great value and ideal location

Great value in an exceptional location. Directly adjacent to the beach, across the street from the flamingo hike, and at the start of the road with the giant tortoises. Staff was super helpful Room was adequate and comfortable.

Superb

I like living here very much. Because it is very quiet here, you can rest quietly, unlike the noisy city center. There are also large supermarkets nearby to facilitate shopping.If I come to this city next time, I will stay here again.

Although the room has a window and a fan, it is still a bit hot, but it is acceptable.

Pleasant

For the cheap price it is totally fine. The location is not very convenient if you want to explore the city but very close to terminal and airport which is a bonus. I have actually stayed twice here. It does get super hot in the room though. For most people it would be advisable to only stay at places with AC. There is a big supermarket near and local restaurants and shops. During my stay two other guys were living in the other rooms. They were not always so quiet and the kitchen was not always left clean. But staff comes regularly to clean the kitchen a bit. I had to ask for toilet paper and soap twice but they never provide soap which is questionable, especially in covid times. The communication via Whatsapp was always clear and fast. WiFi was not amazing but good enough. So basically if you are on a tight budget, this place is okay.

Don't take anything for granted

The room was small but clean. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets were good quality. The room had a good fan that made up for lack of air conditioning. The facilities seemed very secure and safe which helped considering how the neighborhood looked. The neighborhood was very quiet. An UBER ride to the airport was $2.13.

I don't feel the description of the property matched the property. I was surprised to find no hot water or bath towels. Staff wasn't to be found after a confusing check in process. There was nobody around at check out time . There were not many places to eat nearby.

Perfect, I was pleasantly surprised. Clean and the personal was so nice. Cute cat at the property, very good wi fi. Big wardrobe. Nice area to chill also.

Nothing that I didn't like. I was really surprised I didn't have expectations but I left with good thoughts :)

Average

Owner is friendly, the room is small but cosy, as described, tha place is clean, relatively close to the bus terminal and the airport, there is a cute young cat in the hostel.

No reception, no personal. There should be someone present at the other hostel (the same owner) 100m further, but I went there two times to look for some info and no one was there to attend me. The owner gave me wrong info about the public transport to the airport. The kitchen is poorly equipped (almost no cutlery, no small pots, water heater that doesn't work...). No sign outside the hostel, I was walking around with my luggage trying to find out where is the hostel cause it's not on the map (actually I put it on the Maps.Me). I received the location one day later when I was already in the hostel.
