Pros: Casa Isabel was extremely affordable, easy to get to and with a wonderful and personable host. We enjoyed full use of the kitchen and drinking water was a bonus. A great location to explore Santa Ana.

Quiet lovely hostel in Santa Ana
Pros: Had a four night stay here when visiting Santa Ana. A bit of confusion at first with some contradicting messages on how to get to the hostel was easily sorted out with a couple of messages on Whatsapp. The owner, Manuel, was really helpful and answered all my questions on what to do and how to get around. Hostal had just recently re-opened, so there were things being fixed. However, this didn't bother me. Hostel is a 5 min walk from the city center, which meant it was quiet but still close to the shops and restaurants. Two bathrooms, one with a hot shower (I opted for using the cold as more refreshingconsidering the average temperaturs), a large kitchen, and plenty of community space to relax. I stayed in one of the private rooms with a floor fan, which had a large comfy bed and a clothing rack to hang your clothes. Overall, I really enjoyed staying at Casa Isabel, which had a more traditional hostel vibe and not too loud.
Cons: Water pressure was at one time very low (though I understood that it was being looked into, so probably being fixed in the near future). There should probably also be a rag/mat on the floor of the bathroom to dry up water after showering.

Great value for money
Pros: The courtyard was lovely to chill in. The kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Free filter water. Large bedrooms. Manuel was very helpful.
Cons: The bathrooms weren't the best. They were being renovated so I would say they would improve. Needs a little love in some places but would recommend for the price. Cheapest around for sure
