One of the best hostels I've stayed in Centroamérica. Not only do dorms have a bathroom but also every bed has curtains, lights, a little fan and a socket! Ana is always willing to help and give you good advice about places and how to get there. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped and the common area has games and a ping-pong table, apart from some cute little lizards strolling around the garden. Great hostel!

By far the best hostel I stayed at in all of Costa Rica! The atmosphere and friendliness here are incredible, and the entire staff is exceptionally kind and attentive. A special shoutout to ANTONIA, whose kindness and warmth are truly rare to find, she’s always smiling and ready to help with anything 🥰 The hostel is very clean, offers all the best excursions in La Fortuna at great prices, and has a fantastic rooftop that adds to the experience. The location is also perfect, just a 3 minute walk from downtown, yet in a peaceful area. The dorms feel private thanks to the curtains, and the mattresses are actually comfortable, which isn’t always the case in Costa Rica! Most importantly, there is a genuine family-like, welcoming atmosphere, both from the staff and the travelers staying here. I absolutely loved my time at this hostel. Huge thanks to Antonia, who truly embodies everything this place stands for! ♥️

One of my favourite hostels in Costa Rica! Chill vibe, very clean, beds were very comfortable, the kitchen was one of the most well equipped I've seen in a hostel, and the staff is very friendly! It's a 10ish minute walk to the town center but I enjoyed the walk, you may even get a little concert along the way hahha

All staff were incredibly great. Even the chef and bartenders. They were always happy to help. We were very late to book a tour and a shuttle for our next destination and they helped us immediately. We had our tour with Charlie, highly recommended. Ask for him if you get a tour from the hotel! Super funny and friendly Costa Rican tour guide. Also, the happy hour at the bar is great, prices were really good. Highly recommended for those who want to have a fun time in Arenal.

I had the opportunity to stay in the cylinder rooms - a very cute and unique experience. The bed was comfy, the AC worked perfect and the secret garden was so pretty especially at night. The staff were friendly and the bathrooms and showers were always spotless! I really enjoyed my stay!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
