Check-in was quick and easy. The room was clean and comfortable. WiFi was workable. The "curtain" was not as wide as the window, and this should be addressed. Breakfast was adequate. There are plenty of restaurants within a very short walk. I feel that I paid a fair price for our room, and so I would be happy to stay there again.

Fair price for a budget hotel but poor curtains.

Really nice hostel, view is amazing. Staff is really friendly

A very basic but clean and friendly stay. We enjoyed our room and the views were gorgeous. Fair warning, the hostel is a decent walk from the main docks.

I stayed at Hostal del Sol for one night. It is right at the top of Isla del Sol so it is a bit of a trek from the harbor but it was rather easy to find with the help of offline Google maps. The room I had booked had some bugs in it but I was able to change to another room free of charge. The wifi works only in one part of the hostel, not so well in rooms. But the wifi exists nevertheless! The water in the shower is warm but the shower is located sort of outside so be prepared for a bit of a chilly and refreshing experience!The breakfast was very basic, crackers with butter and jam with tea and coffee. All in all the hostel is very basic. It is one of the cheapest ones on the Island, serves well for 1 or 2 nights.

This hostel is located in a good place for sightseeing. At the very first time, it may hard to find the way to go there, but they will pick you up at the boat station.

Great place for sightseeing

Rooms are very basic, somewhat clean, rooms are on the cold side, and the view is comparable to many other hostals on the island. VERY expensive for the quality and nicer hostals cost less. This property is located 30-40 minutes from the port at the top of the hill and its all uphill. There was slow internet, but it didnt work in the rooms, you had to stand outside behind the building to get a signal. I contacted the hostal via email before my stay about directions and arranging a donkey porter, but didnt receive a response.  The hostal is a bit hard to find and there are no signs once at the top of the hill about which side streets to take. In fact, one side of the building has the name of a previous hostel, which was confusing when trying to find the property.  Would not stay again and would recommend booking at another property if staying overnight on the island.

Disappointing Stay with Average Views

Great hotel. The highest one on the island but definitely worth the hike up with bags. Very close to mirador so great panoramic views for sunrise/sunset. Good breakfast too.

Hostal del Sol is located at the top of Isla del Sol.  As we were unaccustomed to the altitude, and because we were travelling with all of our backpacks, it took us a good 45 minutes to reach the hostal from the Yumani port due to the climb.  However, the climb was worth it and the hostal was at the foot of a hill that offered amazing views.  The hostal was also located close to some great restaurants with fantastic views as well (would recommend the Inti Jalanta restaurant - the grilled trout is fresh and surprisingly tasty).  It is a little bit hard to find, but if you ask the locals, they are friendly and will point you in the right direction.  Once you reach the restaurant, find the yellow house behind the restaurant, and go to the back through the gate on the right to find the "office".  The hostel has bare basics - a place to sleep, a washroom, electricity and some wi-fi.  The room was decently comfortable, although the shower can only provide hot water through a heating element.  Getting hot water means limiting the water flow in order for the heating element to heat up the water sufficiently before it comes out of the shower head.  This means that the water pressure will be low, but having a warm shower on the island wasn't bad at all. The wi-fi was available, but it is certainly better at the restaurant where breakfast was served.  Even at the restaurant, the wi-fi wasn't really fast, but one can do some surfing.  Overall, a pretty good hostel.

Quaint hostal at the top of Isla del Sol

Great location, although be prepared for a long climb to the hostel. Due to the altitude the climb can be quite taxing, especially if you have heavy luggage. Staff member met us at the boat and then took us to the hostel - useful as it would be tricky to find. Recommend paying in full prior to arrival as there are no ATM's on the island. Staff have very limited English. Showers were not hot at our time of stay

Great location

Bed with used sheets, hair in the bathroom, cold shower, no curtains in the bathroom, dirty floor, cold rooms and no wifi (as promised). We booked 2 nights in this hotel and we wanted to leave right away on the first night. We had to sleep in our sleeping bag because it seems more hygienic. Yes the view is nice, but 90% of the house in isla del sol have a great view! This is one of the few place that is listed online, if i had to go back i wold just walk in in the many hostal and choose a better (and likely cheaper) place.
