We stayed here for two nights in April 2015. The best thing about the place is Fransisco and Bruno, the guys running it, who were very helpful. They gave us tips on the local area and directions to the bus station for going by to the Parque Nacional de Volcanes.

For us, the location was OK as we only came to Santa Ana to visit the national park, however if you wanted to explore Santa Ana a bit more it may be better to stay in the centre.

The room was huge, with ensuite and double bed for $25. It was beautifully decorated with original artwork and had a fan & TV. Plus you could use the kitchen and there is a huge supermarket only 10mins walk away.

I stayed at Casa Frolaz for 3 nights from 12-14 Feb 2015. I stayed in the 4-person dorm, and I was the only person in the room during the period of my stay. Therefore, I have sufficient privacy and quietness by paying just USD8 per night. To me, it's kind of weird that there is a double bed in the 4-person dorm. There is a balcony where u can wash & hang your clothes. Due to the place being very windy, you can wash your clothes tonight and they will be dry on the next morning. Had some problems with the shower but they fixed it quick enough (else the super hot water would have "cooked" me). Downstairs is a restaurant. They had a very good business on the Valentine's Day. Smell of nice food kept coming to me :P You can cook at their kitchen, but maybe it's the best to cook when the restaurant started to be busy.

It's very close to the Colon Market and INSA (where u can wait for the TUDO bus to San Salvador). I'm glad I chose to stay here. Francisco has been very helpful and other staff (of the restaurant) are very friendly. I slept very well here. Meanwhile, it's about 20 mins walk to the city center. Nearby the area you can easily find cheap food.

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 7 nights (was supposed to be only 5 nights) and we had an awesome experience! Fransisco and Bruno were so helpful and caring with everything. We are vegans so we used the kitchen to cook our dinners and it was no problem at all! They were sometimes there to chat with us and always asked us how our days went and more! They can both speak great english. One night Fransisco took us on a bike ride with other locals and it was one of our favorite experiences here in Central America! The rooms are big and clean and it's very quiet as there are only 2 rooms in the whole place! The back garden is also a great place to chill and relax. Really I cannot speak about this place enough! If you don't stay here you are missing out.
