We only had a short time in Santa Elena and I am very happy that we found this hostel. We took a long public bus from San Jose and got in much later than I expected. The owner, Yorle unexpectedly came and met us at the station thankfully and walked us to the hostel. She was amazing, hilarious, very chill... More

This is hands down my favorite hostel amongst many that I have stayed at over my month trip in central america. Yorle is an amazing cook the breakfast is so delicious. She took care of everything! Any time we had any questions or needed help deciding what to do she was ready to help and set everything up for us!... More

Sloth Backpackers is an amazing hostel. Having stayed at some not so nice places, this has definitely been one of my favorites. It was clean and comfortable, as well as really well priced ($10, with breakfast!). It also has a great kitchen. Good environment and very homey. The owners are incredibly nice and helpful and they even called the company... More

We stayed there two nights. The rooms are clean but very small. There are only two bathrooms for too much people. One shower was not working. The kitchen is well equiped, the breakfast and the coffee in the morning is very tasty! The two girls of the hostel are very friendly and helpful. They offer a lot of tours. We... More

We had it to ourselves whilst we were there, the beds were comfy, however one of the beds was under the eaves of a low ceiling so I wouldn't imagine it would be good if you're claustrophobic!! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We... More

We spent two nights in this hostel and were very satisifed. Yorle's home turned into a hostel is painted with bright, beautiful colors. Such a friendly environment to be in. We bonded with the other people staying in the hostel so it definitely had a family-feel to it! Also, Yorle booked our activities for us and was more than happy... More

We spent two nights here in January and wish we could've stayed longer. The location was very good, just a block away from the town center, and safe. The owner, Yorle, is personable, makes good recommendations on the best activities, and speaks English. She goes out of her way to accommodate guests. The breakfast was good, hot, fresh, and different... More
