We had a blast at the pool house! The place is clean and welcoming. We are at walking distance of restaurants and grocery stores, but Julio is always welling to drive you around if you need. Many tours are offered from the hostel. Julio will be your guide. He is the life of this place. Thanks for the amazing time Julio!!!

I cannot recommend this place highly enough! Jess and Julio were the most attentive and generous hosts we have encountered on our trip. Their local insight meant we got to see so much more of what the area had to offer, including a secret local swimming spot and the best Pupusas in El Salvador! They helped us to organise a rental car, dropped us at the bus station and were all round lovely people. The family atmosphere they create with all their guests is what makes this hostel so special. Absolutely cannot fault this place. 10/10

Pool House is just a small hostel, with only 10 beds. But it felt like coming home to me, staying in this beautiful house with - of course - a pool. I hadn't been cooking for a long time, but their kitchen is so inviting that it inspired me straight away to make my own dishes again. The atmosphere and the friendliness of the lovely owners Jess & Julio is what makes all the difference, too. They make sure you see the most of Santa Ana and its surroundings by offering to drive places together, saving on expensive taxis. Also, they are just lovely people. Don't expect any partying as quiet time starts at 10.30, but prepare to stay longer than planned: you won't want to leave this sweet spot.

Pool house is a great small hostel, close to the center of Santa Ana. It is clean, has a nice chill area with Netflix, and the pool is very welcoming in this hot city. There is a hammock as well. The shared bathroom is clean. You can use the kitchen and fridge and with a supermarket close, it is easy to make your own food. They offer tea, coffee and water for free. I also liked that they recycle waste like plastic bottles and cans, which not a lot of people/hostels do in Central America! The host is a very nice, young local women who speaks English as well and offers a lot of help with anything. And she has an amazingly lovely kitten who wants to play all the time, very enjoyable!

I was travelling with 4 of my friends and our Spanish skills aren’t too good. Julio was an amazing host , he help us finding transport and a place to stay in a different town just with his contact. The place is really charming, everyone is talking to each other, it’s like a big family! Free local coffee every morning and lots of day trips are offered, to the volcano and the waterfalls for exemple. Julio gave us many ride around, he’s really dedicated to his job! Gracias Julio! See you next time!

This hostel was one of the highlights of our month long trip, despite only staying here for one night. The hostel owner, Julio, goes above and beyond to accomodate everyone’s needs and make sure that everyone is catered for. Not only does he keep a lovely, comfortable and clean hostel, but he personally arranges trips and activities for those staying there.
As soon as we arrived and met the others hostel guests, Julio drove us all to see the nearby ruins and visit the hot springs waterfall before taking us all to dinner. The next day we visited the volcano, and again Julio drove a group of us there and waited whilst we did the hike before taking us to a beautiful restaurant by the lake for lunch and then somewhere to swim. The hostel itself is cosy and clean, with cooking and laundry facilities, and a lovely small garden with a swimming pool.
If you’re visitng Santa Ana then be sure to stay at Pool House. We saw so much more of Santa Ana than we would have if we were simply left to our own devices, and met some great people along the way. Thanks Julio for making our short stay in Santa Ana so memorable.
