Reviews of Drift Inn San Pedro 3 stars

Great staff! The location is outstanding, near lots of bars and restaurants. The room was spacious with a nice desk and comfortable bed. Value is exceptional.

room is pretty bigger than expected at a pretty good location quiet at night. it has a communal kitchen where we cooked lobsters we caught and it has coffee in the morning and hot water as well. front desk staff was very helpful, she let us check in 30 minutes early in a hot hot afternoon.

Location is great, just behind the sandbar and with a beautiful view of the ocean. Roof top swimming poo is a big bonus, you can look at the ocean while swimming with pellicani and fregate flying over you! Nice sitting outside area to socialized with others.

We were on a fishing trip and the hotel was close to the dock where our boat was located.

Hot water, great location, clean rooms!

Very comfortable beds, hot shower, Central location and friendly staff.

Great location and good price. Even in the street side room, outside noise was minimal due to the A/C and dehumidifier. The use of the pool at the neighboring hotel was a super addition.

Always have a hard time with beds against the wall. It means one person has to scoot down to the bottom of the bed to get out of it, which often wakes the other person.

Drift Inn is a cute little spot. Good vibes and has everything you need. The free coffee and tea in the morning is a nice bonus. It’s attached to the Sandbar beach hostel, so you are able to use the rooftop infinity pool overlooking the ocean as well as the restaurant and bar areas. It has its own little pool too to hang out after 10pm when sandbar pool closes.

This has less to do with the hotel and more to do with San Pedro, but there is no beach. The entire area is primarily docks with nowhere to really swim in the ocean or lay out on the sand. You have to drive 40 min to Secret Beach, which still isn’t really a beach, to lay out on chairs and swim. This was a really big bummer for us.

good option for san pedro. the room was a good size and private bathroom was a bonus, the showers heat was adjustable and really good pressure (which is difficult to find travelling). you have access to the sandbar pool which is a huge bonus. such a nice pool with great views and sunbeds.

we got the double room with private bathroom and it didn’t come with a toaster & kettle like stated which was a bit disappointing. the kitchen was ok, had all you needed but filled with mosquitos - making it difficult to stay in there for long to cook

Staff, price

-

staff was really helpful and friendly there's free filtered water all day long and coffee in the morning you can use the rooftop pool of a nearby hotel which is very nice just stayed there for one night so can't tell more.

doors are not isolated, means you hear all noise from the nearby buildingside and the golfcars

Staff was very knowledgeable about everything on the island and their recommendations were very helpful.

On going construction around the hotel was somewhat disruptive.

Well, I like the location, and there were two fans and one AC The team was warm and welcoming, and the kitchen was clean

Maybe the kitchen needs new pans and kitchen tools, but in general it is okay.

The Best dorm room i have ever stayed in!! Looking better in reality than in the photos, big and spacious. There are lockers and curtains. In side the space of the room there are two toilets and the best warm shower. The kitchen is small but pretty equipped. The common areas are nice.

Can be a little more clean. The kitchen closes at 8 pm.

Rooms big enough, many lockers. Location is good. Crew members Yaal and Kevin are the highlight of my stay. Absolutely adorable. Key of room is a code which is great for those who are always forgetting stuff all around. There's an old deaf 75 y/o man LIVING in one of the dorms and he literally enters and leaves the room every 5 minutes since 5 am in the morning which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to sleep because he can't tell how noisy he is. I feel sorry writting this but that's the way I felt. It's not his fault and I assume it's the price you pay when staying in a cheap hostel dorm but at least, the property should tell him to be more careful given that everybody knows him and everybody is aware of how noisy he is. So, be aware that you may end up in a mixed dorm with an old guy who Will not do anything to you but ignore you when you say hi (and may be freak you out a lil bit) as he can't understand pretty well. As a woman travelling solo I would have loved to know this since the first night I wasn't sure what was happening with him and I felt kinda scared. He is adorable tbh. Nothing against him. Also, not enough space to chat with other travellers. Kitchen needs more attention, the cuttlery was dirty (this is guest's fault but still the hostel should be more careful). Also, if you need to cook before 8 am like it was my case, nope. Kitchen not opened cause the rooms next to it… The towels I got (which is a nice touch to have one to be honest) were all stained even tho they came right out of laundry. Reception not available 24/7 it's kinda a problem. The AC is controlled by reception people and my room felt like Siberia sometimes. Gotta asked for a blanket. Not comfy spaces to work or to plug computers in the kitchen area. I guess it's fine for people who come to San pedro to dive. Not my case so not the best hostel that I stayed at tbh.
