Manso Boutique Guesthouse

I stayed in the shared room and it was big, clean and comfortable, lockers are big and the breakfast was good, location was perfect, they let me take a shower after check out :)

When i arrived at night 19/2 the lady in charge showed me the room, and when i asked if i could choose my bed, she said no because the 8 bed room was full, and that was a lie, we were only 3 and no one else arrived, and when i noticed that beds were clean and no baggage, she said again is full!! Lier!

I chose this hostel for it´s proximity to the Malecon, and it didn´t disappoint. It´s ideally located if you just have a short time to explore the city. The door was a bit hard to spot, but the hostel is clearly marked once you know what to look for. I was in a dormitory room, which was not the traditional layout, but that added to the charm. There was good wifi, the shared bathroom had a great and hot shower and I had no problem accessing the facilities when I needed them. The communal areas are good and the staff were all friendly.

There is a kitchen, but when I tried to make a cup of tea, I couldn´t find anything to boil water in. If you have a lot of luggage you may need help carrying it up the stairs. It would be nice if the hostel carried maps to give out to guests to give them a better start in exploring the city, though staff were happy to print info out from Google Maps, but for me it´s not quite the same.

Interesting establishment, fresh meals, pro-active staff

Meals were confusing, sometimes there was lunch and dinner, sometimes not and staff were not sure. As a foreigner this was confusing. I think more clear information about meals would be very helpful. I was so impressed with the preparation of the food my first day there that I would have looked forward to any meal, but wasn't sure about the schedule.
