Situated in Santa Ana, Pool House Hostel has a garden, shared lounge, terrace, and free WiFi throughout the property. Boasting a shared kitchen, this property also provides guests with a barbecue. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

The staff are really nice. The hostel is next to the city center with the cathedral, bars, resturants and grocery stores. There is a good kitchen for cooking and it's a decently social hostel with people lounging around the main area. They have an arepa making class Mondays or tuesday nights? Good way to meet people. I got the private room and it was very spacious. Quiet at night and very safe. I would recommend staying here if you can .

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great cosy family run hostel, which felt like home. Great facilities, hot water, fans and 2 cute cats and a dog. Lovely free coffee in the morning and a really relaxing atmosphere. Would highly recommend it when visiting Santa Ana :)

    Great location, very close to everything I needed. The staff were so helpful and kind and helped us a lot with the buses and trips. I realised I'd left my towel by accident at a precious hostel and the staff member even let me have a towel from lost property! There are lockers in the rooms and an individual fan for each bed.

    Very friendly owner, near to the centre of Santa Ana and felt very safe. The next door neighbour cooked a few nights a week to sell to locals and it was tremendous. I really enjoyed the friendliness of everyone.

    Located very close to the main plaza, within walking distance of the main bus stations. The hostel is very cheap, and of course facilities are reflected in that price. Overall the cleanliness of the place was good, but it's an old building and used to be a burger restaurant, so it doesn't always feel that clean. Free Pool table, even if it does have a slight lean it's still playable. Renting scooters is super simple. Staff are all super nice, especially Yacky and her sister~

    The hostel was in a great location and really good value for money. The kitchen area was fantastic! Well equipped and always clean. The rooftop was a great place to chill and has beautiful views of the city. Staff were also helpful with any bus or attraction questions.

    Simply the best hostel I've stayed in the last 4 months of traveling. Large beds, nice pools, cozy atmosphere, well equipped kitchen, comfortable TV room and the best ever staff. Adriana does her job with love, she's always available for anything you need and knows absolutely everything about Santa Ana and the surrounding region. I spent a week at Pool House and felt truly like home. Every hostel should be like this!
