The bar is a lot of fun, Yancy is a great bartender and attracts a good crowd, She can also book great tours. Guests are very friendly, Staff is helpful, and nice having a pool in the middle of everything, it can be noisy including a train that passes by.

Exactly what I was looking for, did the job can’t ask for much more really. Pool could’ve been slightly colder although I only went in it at the heat of the day
Sebastian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

This was a wonderful, affordable stay! The courtyard was the perfect place to relax and recharge with plenty of comfortable hammocks. Staff was nice and helpful. Shuttle service was very convenient. The only downside was that there was a lot of street noise: honking, sirens, etc.

6/10 Good

Great property and friendly staff. Biggest complaint is we booked and paid for a private room but when we arrived we were put in a shared dorm with a few others
Amit, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had the Twin Bedroom in the basement. It was big enough for two people, but a new Mattress would be nice. The price was good, what the hostel offers. So for a short stay for a few days to arrive to Costa Rica we can recommend it.
