I had a nice stay at Hostal Sir Francis Drake. The location is very central and convenient, within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and public transport. The room was simple but clean, and the bed was comfortable enough for a short stay. Staff were friendly and helpful, creating a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. It’s not a luxury place, but for the price and location, it offers great value and is ideal for budget travelers or backpackers.

Central and cheap Location was great, reception only manned daytime. Room with shower ok, had to change room due to very small ants. Air Condition worked well, price VERY low.

This is a perfectly serviceable hotel. Everything functions perfectly well. It is close to the pier, restaurants and ATMs. The low rating is because they refused to allow us to revise the booking from two nights to one. They were given notice of this - because of a double booking - well in advance. It was churlish of them, and bad business practice.

This hotel is located right next to “restaurant row” which is a street with many dining options and geared mostly toward the tourists. The hotel A/C and Wi-Fi worked well, and I had a comfortable night here. There is a motion sensor hall light that shines into the room through the top windows and some noise as they walk by. It gets quiet after 10:00 so not too much of an inconvenience. Staff helped me with bus arrangements. There is an upstairs lounge area that overlooks the street and would be a nice spot to visit with friends.

I booked the place online with the option to pay at the check-in, but they did not have the option for credit or debit card, so I had to pay by cash which was not in my budget

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.
