The Hostelz.com Review
Hostal Las Guacamayas, which was converted from a standard house, gives a real backpacker feel for the young traveler.
The Location
So long as you know where you are in La Ceiba, finding this hostal isn´t difficult -- however only main intersections have street signs and it may take some walking around before you find it. Taxis will normally give you a decent fare and should only cost about a dollar or two from anywhere within town. The downtown area is about seven blocks north and there is also a North American-type mall to the southwest (about a twenty-minute walk -- go south until you hit the main road lined with North American food chains, then hang a right to the mall). Right next door there is a cheap eatery, and further down is a bar with some of the cheapest beer in Central America.
Rooms and Bathrooms
There are three co-ed dorm rooms each housing three bunk beds (with six people per room). Since this hostel is a converted house, the rooms are typical bedroom size, so crowding is a bit of an issue. Each bed has its own name and has an associated drawer underneath the bed that you can lock.
The washrooms are clean and are what you would expect of a typical house. The shower is in good condition and has a brand new hot water heater that gives excellent flow. If you really need to go to the washroom and someone is hogging the shower, there is a second one hidden next to the bottom of the stairs.
If you get stuck outside after the gates are locked, you have to reach around behind on the left hand side of the gate to ring the doorbell.
Common Spaces
Bedrooms and the main common area are located on the second floor. Outside of the bedrooms there is a TV area with comfy couches surrounding a couple of coffee tables. Adjacent to that is the deck if you want to get some air. Downstairs there is a dining and cooking area with toasters and a hotplate. Next to the reception at the entrance to the house is the computer which you can use for a half-hour for free each day.
Summary
Hostal Las Guacamayas is very professionally run establishment -- they even go as far as providing bar soap and a towel. For the weary backpacker this is a great place to relax on their journey.

Fishy When I arrived at this Hostel nobody was even there to check me in. All doors were locked and the lights were off. I ended up having to book a few nights in a different Hotel which ultimately cost me well over $200. On top of it, they charged me for not showing up for my reservation and refused to refund it. — Anonymous , USA (2010-04-20)
