What not to like?!?! This place felt like home! The best hostel in Costa Rica so far (and also very high on my list of hostel from over 55 countries). The owners were the nicest people, welcoming, helpful and always with a smile! They have cute little dogs which made the place feel even more like home! The rooms were clean, tidy and not crowded (like some other places have). Beds were comfortable. The toilets were always clean! The breakfast was amazing, fruits, eggs and pancake with free water and coffee all day. The social areas were great to meet other travellers and create our little travel fam!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    This hostel exudes a charming family atmosphere. The bed is not just comfortable but downright cozy, and the breakfast is a delight – think delicious vegan pancakes and homemade jam. The host, the wife, is incredibly kind and provided me with fantastic local tips on a budget. She personally prepares the breakfast and is not only gracious but also an artist who beautifully decorated most of the house. Highly recommended!

    A bridge between air BnB and hostel. Great location, fantastic owner, and a vibe that it is "yours" for the stay. Listen to Alex the owner for advice...his knowledge and concern is its charm!

    All perfect, calm , chill, good breakfast (inkluded with MTV 2000er music), good rooms, cheap beer, never slept that good on my trip, everything how it should be!! Especially the Host Ro ( the others are great, too) was extremely helpful, super friendly and blessed us with his positive energy. Ro changed our day and is the heart of that hostel. ( at least for me) Ro will provide you with any information you need (seriously, he knows everything), I hope you will meet him!
