Beautiful hostel tucked away in a tranquil corner of La Fortuna. Rooms were clean and comfortable and a lovely courtyard at the back of the property. Staff were so helpful and friendly - especially the two volunteers Marissa & Maria. They were on hand with anything we needed. Would highly recommend!

Very nice atmosphere. We liked everything here. The hostel has a big kitchen so a lot a people can cook at the same time. They also have all the stuff that you need. We recommend this hostel even for couples, because they have nice privet rooms (we stayed in one of them).

Really underrated - and cheap for what it is. People were really nice, it was clean and new, you have your own privacy if you want it and social spaces are very great. +1 for the guitar!

The receptionists were very nice and helpful. We needed to find a way to get to Tamarindo very last minute and they helped us find it even though it was late. Also great vibes, nice pool, and beautiful rooms with AC. Also they helped us book tours in La Fortuna which were very enjoyable.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

    The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
