Great hostel with AC that you can use between the hours of 7pm to 10AM and there is even a small swimming pool. The only problem I had (since I'm allergic to cigarette smoke) is everyone there was smoking (in the pool, out of the pool, in their rooms, outside of their rooms). Nice kitchen/dining area and a couple of... More

I don't usually write reviews, but after visiting some of the other hostels in town, this by far was the best and had everything my boyfriend and I were looking for. This quaint beautiful hostel is owned by an amazingly sweet and social Argentinian woman, Mariana located slightly off the main road (which makes it peaceful). It's beautifully decorated, there's...

I really enjoyed staying here. I felt really safe and comfortable my whole stay. The pool is really nice and relaxing. The kitchen is huge and full of everything you could possibly need. I usually prefer places that include breakfast though. But the beds were really comfortable, the bathroom was nice and it was all pretty clean. And there was... More

Very nice place! Stayed there for 3 nights and had an awesome time! Great crowd, great staff and nice pool! Would definitely recommend! About a 5 minutes walk from downtown and the beach! Quiet to sleep and close to everything! A++

Our stay was great! We walked in and were lucky to get 3 nights in a private room with AC. We absolutely loved the hammock outside our room and hanging by the well kept pool (Claudio always cleaned while having a nice chat with you). The kitchen may not be in its prime condition, but very funcional with a nice... More

We stayed during the off season so when the owner saw that we were on the fence if we wanted to stay here or the one next door, she made the choice easy by lowering the price. Our priv room had a large bed and a bunk bed, the bathroom was nice, cute lil whimsical touches here and there. Our... More

I was there for 2 weeks. Good price for a single bedroom, about 250m from the beach. Difficult to find, they dont really use adresses in Costa Rica, but its the immediate neighbor of Pura Vida hostel. The place was good to meet people and the swimming pool is a nice touch but the dogs drink from it. Expect lots... More

This hostel was a fun place to stay in. The owner and staff were very friendly and helpful. They cleaned the dorm rooms daily...each dorm room had AC at night which was an unexpected amenity for $10 a night. The bathroom, while in the dorm room which was great, needed a scrub. Kitchen was fairly stocked with pots/pans/dishes. It was... More

For the price, it's decent. Personally, when another traveler says "which pan" and the choice is one with stuff encrusted on it and the other doesn't even have a flat surface, I can't really raise my recommendation above decent. A/C is turned off during the day in the rooms. Crammed in like sardines in the dorm room. Far from the... More
