Fräscht hostel/hotell för bra pris. Perfekt läge på stranden, nära supermarket och massa restauranger. Finns ett litet men bra kök för att laga sin egen mat eller en härlig bar med utsikt över stranden där man kan beställa en pizza eller hamburgare. Frukost varje morgon och på söndagen fick vi våfflor!

Not like pictures advertized at all.

DO NOT go by the pictures they have on Hotel's.com. We thought we were getting a room with a balcony only to get a room with NO window. They say they only have one room like advertised and it is always booked. Definitely very false advertising. This place is only good for a young backpacker who doesn't care about the type of room.

This is my go-to hotel when in Salinas. It has everything for the budget traveler: location, cleanliness, friendly staff, and a bar on the premises. Happily, evenings in the bar do not affect quiet areas for sleeping. I recommend Chesco's if you want an affordable, friendly, clean, air-conditioned stay in Salinas.

Mucho más que un hostel

Regresaba a Salinas después de varios años y tenía ciertas dudas acerca de este hostel, pero la verdad es que se despejaron ni bien llegue. El local está muy bien conservado y súper bien ubicado. Me dieron una habitación lejos del ruido (106) y aún así se escuchaba un poco, pero en líneas generales todo bastante bien. Un pequeño inconveniente con algunas hormigas, pero es propio del lugar. El Aire acondicionado funcionaba demasiado bien (tanto así que termine agripado! Jajaja!)

Budget stay in the centre of it all

We stayed 3 nights and 2 of the nights we had great night sleep, especially seeing how it’s right in the middle of all the action. The last night tainted our stay as the couple making love next door were obviously in a cry for attention being very very loud. After over an hour at 12:30am we shouted for them to stop. Hot water was great, air con was also great. The reception staff were often expressionless and the bar doesn’t open until 7pm so you need to head elsewhere for sunset drinks overlooking the beach.
