Mikaso Y - Solola

Great hotel, which also includes sleeping rooms, which this feeling like a high-end house, but with hostel prices. the prospects are fantastic, right at the lake. eating is also great, but can be a bit more pricier for budget travelers. only a short walk to the city recommended.

This hotel was probably the best hotel in San Pedro but the rising water level is slowly changing the deal. Indeed have the lake waters started rising for 3 years now at an alarming rate and when I visited it already swallowed a couple of buildings of the hotel forcing the owner to move the dorm from a nice location on the first floor to the ground floor where the view is not as nice. That said the place is still a great place to stay with breathtaking views on the lake and surrounding mountains either from the balcony of the ground floor, the massive first floor terrace or the top floor terrace. Two free-to-use working hot tubs allows to enjoy reasonably-priced drinks or food from the bar/restaurant before sunbathing on the deck chairs. Regarding the rooms the dorm is clean and the beds are comfortable but it lacks windows and feels a little cramped. Rooms look way better but I didn't try them.

The most comfortable bed and nicest duvet I have ever found in a hostel dorm. The hostel is quiet and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Grounds and restaurant are nice. Upon arriving in the property the first thing I noticed was a sign stating that the hot tubs were out of order (one of the main selling points for the property). By the time I left the hot tubs had been completely removed and the sign had changed to Hot tubs no longer offered (although the websites haven't been updated). Upon getting to the room I decided my first action would be to purchase bug spray, as other reviews had commented there were spiders and spiderwebs in the room. The lockers were very small for the purpose, and I was only just able to jam my small backpack inside after taking out my laptop and putting that in separately. As other reviewers have stated the dark unlit path from the road down to the hotel does feel dodgy. Wifi on level 2 (where most of the rooms seem to be located) doesn't work at all. I was going to check out after my first night but changed my mind due to the comfort of the bed and bedding.

The sink had no hot water. When I asked, I was told that the hot water was only in the shower, but I didn't test it. View of the lake was advertised, but my room was windowless and in the back. Other rooms may be better. It's clean. Lots of construction around the hotel, although all is quiet at 3 pm on a Thursday.

The location of the hotel is perfect. The room and the kitchen were not clean. The first night we had a cold shower and no Wifi, they repair it so the second night was ok. We slept on the first floor and at 6.15 AM they start working in the kitchen (second Floor) they are very very noisy.
