“Good for meeting people, but overall could do with a renew.”
Wilson was great and super friendly, but the rooms could do with a bit of an update - it was hotter in the room than it was outside, and although great for socialising and if on a budget, there was also properties not much more expensive that were more equipped.

“Marvelous Host Owner”
The owner was marvelous. He gave lots of great recommendations for several activities and does not want to sell tours like lots of others. Just perfect!!! This made our trip perfect and I highly recommend the hostel for everyone who goes to La Fortuna. The rooms were clean and we had a nice balkony to sit outside. It is a great hostel to get to know others.

The staff, particularly Esther, were very friendly and informative of what to do in the area. The rooms were comfortable with big bathrooms for the private rooms. The area is quiet for sleeping but very close to all amenities (bars, restaurants, supermarkets etc.). The kitchen was spacious and well equipped. Very social but not a party hostel which was perfect for us.

“Nice”
The owner and staff are very friendly and helpful, there’s a group chat where the owner can organise transport to and from activities for cheaper than what’s offered in town. The kitchen is well equipped and room is big.
