This place earned the stars with my shower combat (more on that in a minute). The whole layout is is compact but cozy. It provides common areas that are good for meeting others, or space if that’s what you want. A large second story dining area was nice. The secure parking was great. The common kitchen was useful and stocked with the basics… with some charm. The bed was… slept in by lots of people. But hey. It’s a hostel. Location? Perfect. The shower? This is a case of a thing that irritates me, then becomes a favorite characteristic. The water pressure to the shower head is strong, but sometimes stronger. The shower head itself was spraying water in several directions in addition to the main streams. Little spots of air sounded like growling as they came they the line and I wrestled the settings for temperature. Hot. To hot. Hell. Perfect. Hot again. 😂 I was fully entertained. Cannot recommend enough.
Love this place! For the price of $30 a night for a private room and private bathroom, this place is the best deal in town. Comfortable bed too with lots of blankets if it gets cold, though the room never got too cold. Friendly chilled service and close to the main strip. The problem is the showers are ice cold and very very little comes out. So one star off for freezing/no showers.
Rooms very basic. Our room was full of mosquitoes and flies. We had to cover ourselves with mossy spray even at night and still got bitten. Some mosquito nets would have made it much more pleasant. Also there is no fan in the room and it stayed very hot even at night. The owner was not friendly at all. However, laundry was helpful. Location is good, near to town and pick up for tours.

Reviews

Hostal Las Kañas offers budget-friendly private rooms with comfortable beds and blankets, though some guests experienced cold showers with low water pressure. The hostel provides a cozy atmosphere with common areas for socializing, a second-story dining area, secure parking, and a useful kitchen. Despite basic rooms lacking mosquito nets and fans in some cases, the location is ideal near the main street. Guests found entertainment in adjusting to the quirky shower head that sprayed water unpredictably. While Wi-Fi can be unreliable depending on room location, the staff is friendly and helpful.

Loved my experience here. Good price, near center. Well equipped kitchen. It's quite and cozy. And it has a hostel vibe. You get to meet new people. Wifi sometimes doesn't work. It's very dependent on your room location

It is a lovely place, 2 minutes away from the centre, yet it feels like you are out in the country side. There is a nice garden to relax, equipped kitchen to cook, with tea and coffee available. The rooms are basic but clean and warm. The staff helped us out with what we needed!!
