Pros:

Quiet location and large room

Cons:

I arrived and my sheets were both stained and dirty. The sheets were creased from someone sleeping in them and bed full of hair. When I complained they told me where I could find new sheets and make the bed myself.

Pros:

Bed was very clean and comfortable, fan and AC kept the room cool, and the shower was great.
Easy to gain access, convenient location, and good price. I wasn't feeling well so didn't use the pool or have breakfast but I'm sure it would have been nice.

Cons:

The busy street was right outside my window so pretty loud, but that's the way it goes.

Leuke setting
Pros:

Nette en sfeervolle kamer in een leuke setting om een zwembad heen. De casa is gelegen aan de straat naar het strand wat lopend te doen is. Prima voor een paar nachten.
ps verwacht niet teveel van het ontbijt

Mauvais rapport qualité prix, ne reflète pas la description de l’endroit dans l’application.
Pros:

Pas trop loin du centre

Cons:

Plutôt type hostel, chambres donnent directement sur la rue bruyante, fenêtres pas du tout insonorisées, très cher pour ce qui est offert.

Pros:

El personal es muy amable (Jorge) y que te ofrezcan el desayuno es un plus

Cons:

No me gustó que la habitación estaba en la entrada y fue muy ruidosa todo el tiempo o pudimos descansar. E. El baño no tenia ventana que cubriera y se escuchaban todos los ruidos de la calle

Perfect spot
Pros:

Surprising quiet being right on the main street and thin windows in the room.

The pool is very nice, in the sun when it comes up.

Breakfast was delicious coffee, waffles and a banana, perfect for light eaters.

Good parking for motorbikes, it is visible from the street but there are cameras and we had zero issues.

Beds were comfortable, a/c kept us nice and cool.

Pros:

The bed was ok. Location was fine

Cons:

The bathroom and shower were disgusting. A constant sewer smell. The toilet handle was disconnected inside the tank.

Siéntete como en tú casa!
Pros:

La distribución de las habitaciones alrededor de la piscina es muy agradable, se está muy agusto y se favorece mucho el contacto con otros huéspedes, pasamos muy buenos ratos allí , enseguida te encuentras muy cómodo, como en casa, tienes tu cocina en el patio para cocinar y tu lugar en el frigorífico para guardar tus cosas, varias noches cenamos allí en las mesas alrededor de la piscina después de un buen baño, y unas cervecitas frías , qué más se puede pedir!
Hemos disfrutado mucho en nuestra estancia y la aconsejamos vivamente, las habitaciones son amplias y de techo muy alto , AA y ventilador de techo, la decoración sencilla, pero agradable, nos gustó, cada día que pasas en la casa te encuentras más agusto y San Pancho es un lugar con mucho encanto que merece la pena conocer
Repetiremos!

Cons:

Las mesas y las sillas de colores del patio agradecerían una mano de pintura, con el paso del tiempo han perdido un poco su coló inicial
