I enjoyed staying here and would defiantly stay again. However the walls are paper thin. I had to bang on the wall and knock on the door to the people next door multiple times.

Hotel con los servicios básicos, muy austero, pero bien para el poco tiempo que normalmente se pasa en un viaje en la zona por la cantidad de excursiones y lugares a conocer

The place to stay in fortuna.

Great place, very clean, convenient. This was our second visit to Poshtel and we loved it. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Location location, closes to everything in town which we loved it since we didn’t have a car and walking in town was great. We will definitely go back! Thank You.

We was greeted to the room by a roach(killed it). They would not provide a blanket, hand towels or wash cloths for the room. Pool music was very loud, nightly to10 or 11pm. Very old rooms.

Situé près de tout, restaurants et boutiques accessibles à pieds. Station de bus à quelques minutes à pieds également. Chambre propre, eau chaude pour se laver. Présence de casiers dans la chambre pour y laisser des objets de valeur. Piscine propre et bien entretenue. Personnel agréable qui aide beaucoup à planifier les excursions, très accueillant. Cocktail de bienvenue offert.

It was a great location. Nice pool, nice garden area. Gated and someone around 24/7. Was a hostel with private rooms and bathrooms ahared kitchen. AC worked well. Bar at the pool and they played music from early afternoon to 10 pm every day, which I didn't love, but it was okay. A ton of restaurants nearby!! All good food. We had birds in the trees every morning and every night so that was cool - they were pretty loud lol.

Great value for the money! I'm too old for this place and it's bit noisy. The walls aren't insulated. Great Staff. I highly recommend this to those under age 30 !

Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Great location and courtyard. However, we booked 2 “ Deluxe” rooms. 2 beds and a bathroom. They hand you 2 bath towels. No washcloths or hand towels. We had sheets and one thin blanket but our friends only had a sheet on their bed! They also had one tiny wastebasket in the bathroom, and since you can’t put anything in the toilets here, that’s a problem! Diago ( who checked us in)was terrific. Welcome drink is a four ounce strawberry daiquiri, literally served in a small plastic champagne glass. The grounds are well done, just wish they would put a little effort into the rooms.

A éviter

Une ambiance de spring break raté : la musique très forte jusqu'à 10h du soir - sans qu il n'y est le moindre soupçon d'ambiance. Pour la chambre, 18 prises pour les collectionneurs, mais aucun reliée à une lampe à proximité du lit. Rien pour poser ses affaires. Franchement bof Et .
