Luna International Hostel

Good location and price

Reception lets customers smoke cigars in a very small yard of hostel. Two men were smoking cigars here, it was horrible: yard is small with no air ventilation, and smoking time of cigars is very long. All this time, I have no air to breathe! I asked them to stop smoking or go outside, but they didn't listen and said that they had permission from the hostel receptionist.. The next day, I told this issue to reception, and they promised to solve it, but cigars were smoked again. Hostel doesn't care about clients.

Common area was good. Staff did their best to help. The bed was very comfortable (we had a private room). WiFi was good. Private room was adequate.

It’s not much to look at. No free drinking water not breakfast. None of the staff speak any English. Common bathrooms were super small. Def not a pretty hostel.

There was hot water. Kitchen is well equipped. Staff was very helpful

You need to pay for drinking water Lockers are outside of the room

Good location in Estelí. You can book all your tours (Somoto canyon, coffee tours etc.) through the hostel. Dorms are basic, but have all you need. Good wifi, shared kitchen and hammocks to relax. Only hostel in Estelí. Recommended for backpackers

Wear earplugs, cause the dorm is right next to the road. Other than that, I don't understand the negative reviews. The hostel was clean when I was there. It's basic, but in this part of the country you cannot expect much luxury.
