Best hostel in town for sure. Sebas the host is the greatest host i've met so far. Everything was clean all the time and the rooms were really spacey. The hostel is in a really good position everything you need is less then 10 minutes away by foot. Will definetly come back!

This was a very pleasant experience. the owners are very nice and they are easy to talk with. very informative on anything you need. Rooms: We stayed in a private room. very spacious with ceiling fans. Beds: very comfy and 2 pillows/person Common areas: a variety of different areas snd experiences. living room in the front with couches and chairs. kitchen +dining area very spacious with large table. Garden has a few hammocks and garden furniture under a tent so you’re not in the sun/ rain. Kitchen: Well equipped. Fridge: Only one fridge but it’s a small hostel so we all managed. Extras: There are a few bicycles which are free for the first hour then they charge 2,000 colónes if you take additional hours. Surf boards available. Breakfast: Coffee is prepared early in the morning and they serve you breakfast at the table. Typical Tico breakfast. Very safe hostel as most places in CR. 10-12 minutes walk to downtown by road. A few minutes less via the beach. 5 minutes by bicycle.

Excellent staff that was able to answer questions about bus schedules and nearby national parks.. Small kitchen facility but very adequate anf. great breakfast. Easy walk to the beach we were able to take quite a few pictures of the macaws foraging seeds of the indian almond trees.. As I stated before, it is the best bang for the buck in Jaco..

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.

    Everyone at the hostel was incredible - the owner, Brian, as well as the friendly volunteers and staff. There were great food promos each day, generous happy hour times and prices, and the AC at night was an absolute lifesaver. I felt extremely safe at this hostel as both a young woman and a foreigner, and my friends and I were very sad to leave. A couple of us are even considering going back to work there!!
