Ana and the rest of the staff are ultra sweet.  This hostel is located in a very safe part of San Salvador, and if you're worried about what to do, where to go, how to get anywhere, Ana will help.  If you only speak English, no problem.  Ana's completely fluent.  If Ana's not there, the sweet, and majestically named Rigoberto will make a call to Ana and she is more than happy to talk to you and help you figure out whatever you need.  My flight was cancelled earlier that day and I couldn't call the hostel to let them know.  I arrived around 11:45 at night and Rigoberto greeted me with a smile and happy/helpful attitude.  The hostel has hot showers with great water pressure.  Right next to the hostel you will find a pupuseria.  Super cheap and tasty.  Across the street during the day is a taqueria.  A couple blocks down is a smoothie shop called Oasis.  They also sell chili cheese dogs.  Down the street from there is a papa john's, domino's, and there is a big mall very close.  There also happens to be a vegetarian chinese fool place very close by as well.  Supermarket, banks, convenience stores, it's all right there.  There are few other hostels in San Salvador, and this one is more than likely in the nicest, safest part of the entire city.  This is a very affordable way to go and a great jumping off point to use to visit other parts of ES.  Read all of the other positive reviews.  They're all right.

Nicest staff I've met.

We had a great time here, the beds are easily the comfiest in the whole of Central America and the showers are the best too (hot with pressure!!), the wifi works in the bedroom (luxury in my eyes!) Ana is so welcoming and friendly and patiently helped us a lot with planning our onward journey, thank you for everything! 
The hostel is peaceful and a comfy, friendly environment to chill out after a long journey..would highly recommend it as the place to stay if visiting San Salvador.

Perfect hostel & home from home

A perfect place to stay. Fulfills all requirements travelers have. Located in a very secure area. Friendly staff, clean, hot showers, kitchen facility, free drinking water & coffee, cosy meeting area with a charming little garden! Bus stop 2 mins walk, plenty of cheap & delicious Comedores as well as a big Supermarket closed by. Ana, the owner, exceptional helpful 24/7.Provides all infos you need. I stayed longer than a week. A perfect base to explore San Salvador as well as the outer surroundings.

Perfect base for San Salvador and surroundings

Joan’s Hostel was for me, an inexpensive basic room to stay, in a safe neighborhood when transitioning from one part of El Salvador to another.  I stayed here twice when connecting with international buses that go to Nicaragua and Guatemala (PS used El Sol bus line and loved it).  This hostel is in the university area  so during the day there are a lot of outside vendors with different food options.  And around the corner, one of the best comedors I ate at in El Salvador run by a family.  I did make an effort (and it is a big effort to figure this out) to get to the recommended sites  like the Cathedral and El Rosario Church in city center, Santa Tecla, and Museum of Art of El Salvador.  The Museum of Art is the easiest to get to and I would suggest sticking to that with a seafood lunch or dinner at nearby Beto’s.  I did not find San Salvador a pretty city to visit.  

This hostel is a good hangout place if you just want to do email in their little garden area.  Ana the owner does not live here but the staff working here are very friendly and if you want to talk to Ana, they will call her.  I did ask Ana to drop in as I had to plan a lot of details for my trip and she did help me out a lot which I was very grateful for.

Very nice staff and great location in safe neighborhood near university

It was my first visit to San Salvador after reading so many scary things about the country, I was happy that I had choosen  JO'Ans hostel... Good value for your money. You can use the kitchen,  the supermarket is nearby and also many vendors. Anna and her staff made me be comfortable from the beginning. I planned to stay there just a few days  while waiting for my bag to be delivered and then felt so good and finally stayed about 2 weeks. The guest house is walking distance from one bus terminal from where you can visit, by public buses, the main interesting cities in the west and north part.  I  am not a tall rugbyman, I am a retired lady and I travel alone but I just use my common sense not to put myself in bad situations... therefore I can say PLEASE VISIT SAN SALVADOR; the country is not as bad as we can hear what you can get at every corner is smiles from people not getting gun shot...or pickpocket.
