Hostal Sir Francis Drake

Great location, clean and hot water. Super quiet.

The innkeeper was so inhospitable. She was ridiculous in fact. A glass fell and broke while I was in the kitchen and she made me go up the street to buy a replacement. There is mold in the shower and the bed is very uncomfortable. The whole room smells like raw sewage. Don’t stay here no matter what.

Location is very good. Close to port, restaurants and shops. The room had good a/c and comfortable bed. TV did not work but that was ok with us. The hotel itself was fine as a 2.5 star rating hotel. The room was spacious and bright, the bathroom was dark and in need of TLC.. The most difficult issue was our room and the hallways were covered with little wall lizards. That made it difficult to sleep expecting them to drop on your head. I love the little creatures, but not in my bed! The front desk management was quiet poor except for the one young man who tried to help get the lizards out of the room). The general manager was very rude and sour when you asked for anything. No late checkout allowed. Courtesy bathroom offered was disgusting and unusable, not even for a quick pee!! Super dirty and filled with mosquitos and bugs. Tried to be fair and balanced to the establishment in this review, but we would not stay here again. Lots of better places to choose from for same price point.
