Smooth stay at Danta hostel

The ambient, the location, the staff and the facilities. They constantly try to maintain the space clean. During my stay they changed the cooking pots and pans. It's pretty well organized and Alex, the owner is super kind and the staff too.

Great place to stay in La Fortuna

Comfortable beds with curtains for privacy and a fan in each bed to keep you cool. There was one hot shower working when we were there which was much appreciated, and the kitchen was spacious and well equipped. There was a social area to hang out but the vibe was very laid back and chill when we were there.

Worth it, but it's important to check for yourself where the hot water is and don't forget that there is a gym a

The location was good, a little far from the center, but it was relatively quiet. The air conditioning worked well most of the time, maybe too well. It was freezing at night. There were fitness and yoga facilities right next to the stream, which was cool, and the whole area was clean and cute.

There was a really bad, chemical smell in our bathroom and the whole room it wasn‘t cleaned (also mould). As we asked the reception for another room and explained the smell, there was no reaction. So in the end we didn‘t slept there.

One of staff (young boy)working at reception was so rude and and an shouldn’t be there ,I been to 75 countries and I never seen anyone in be staff at hostel be rude like that . If go and here just be careful of him and he shouldn’t work there and he need to learn how to behave himself and how to talk to guests. Be honest girls they were so nice and respectful too. Kitchen was big and u and same time few people could cook at kitchen too,

Loved this hostel! Very clean room and bed, nice outdoor space to socialise, play table tennis or chill in a hammock. Large lockers were very useful, the staff let me keep my bags in there between checkout and leaving for my next location which was much appreciated! Friendly staff and great location - about ten minutes' walk from the bustle of the main town.
