We had a fantastic stay at this hostel! As a couple in a private room, we really enjoyed the relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s not a party hostel, but the vibes were great, and the staff made all the difference. They were incredibly friendly and helpful, always giving us useful info—perfect for our first stop in Nicaragua. Special shoutout to Carlos for his humor and Skye for always being super helpful, but honestly, the whole team was amazing. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a chill and friendly place to stay! Btw, the drinks in the hostel were at a super reasonable price :)

All hostels in Las Peñitas

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

Patrick, the owner, went above and beyond to help everyone out, with great recommendations for nearby, a really easy system for cheap drinks at the hostel and he even repaired my board bag for me when it broke a little. There is a really nice relaxed vibe at the hostel, a great kitchen and an amazing dog! Would recommend
