This was the best hostel I stayed at in Costa Rica. The dorms are spacious, with plenty of room around the beds. The common areas are very cozy, and the kitchen is well equipped. The highlight was the staff—especially Tatiana—who were incredibly helpful and organized an unforgettable experience in Monteverde and Santa Elena.

Excellent value for the money

All staff were extremely friendly. They were constantly making sure that everything was clean. They provide free towel and coffee (which is not a standard). Common area was very nice and peaceful. Reception can book any activities or transfer (without any additional charge - other hostels charge like extra $20).

I loved the communal space and even cooking outside despite the windy weather what I had. The restaurant next to hostel has got great food although. The room was clean and very spacious. The staff from the hostel was helpful and friendly.
