Five-stars across the board

Terrific location, excellent, clean accommodations - our room and bathroom could not have been more spacious and pleasant. I highly recommend this place and definitely plan to stay there again. I loved meeting owners Pedro and Suzanna and enjoyed meeting the other guests.

Ideal Place to Stay!!

This was our first trip to San Miguel and to Hostel Matriz 55. We had a wonderful stay there and Pedro and Susana were excellent hosts! They were very helpful with suggestions of restaurants etc.and made us feel right at home. The patio on the top floor had the best views. We would definitely stay here again when we return to San Miguel! Love, Dr. Mike and Carol

Room was spotless. Bed was very comfortable. The place was welcoming and with lovely decor touches. Pedro and his wife were super nice and helpful. They also helped with booking tours- making sure we get a discount. Breakfast was nice, included homemade cake and cookies. In the heart of downtown! I certainly recommend this place.

For the price one pays to stay here I wish the breakfast was a bit more than just fruit bread cheese and yogurt! But other than that the place in itself is fantastic!

Hostel Matrix 55, struttura nuovissima, molto bella, in pieno centro storico per cui è comodissimo visitare la città. Personale sempre molto gentile e disponibile... grazie Monica !!! Grazie anche a Pedro e Susana che sono stati due eccezionali e amabili "padroni di casa" sempre pronti a consigliarci i luoghi da visitare o i migliori ristoranti in cui mangiare.
