Everyone was so helpful! I booked this place to sleep for a few hours before my early morning flight. They picked me up from the airport bus stop and then dropped me off a few hours after. I booked a quad room and they were nice enough to give me my own quad room so I wouldn’t bother anyone waking up in the middle of the night. Would definitely recommend staying here and will stay here again if I’m ever back in Costa Rica! Thank you!!

I arrived in early July very late one night as a solo woman traveler, and when I reached the hostel I was immediately relieved. The garden atmosphere (and geckos!) and kind staff helped me make a smooth transition into Costa Rica. This was my first time staying at a hostel and it was wonderful. My room had 3 other beds but no one else was there. There was ample space for storing luggage, a fan to keep the room cool, and a bathroom that had shower soap, shampoo, & conditioner included! Additionally, the breakfast was wonderful (and included!), there was plenty of filtered water to drink, and the garden attached to the dining area has beautiful seating and lush greenery alongside a fountain with fish and baby sharks! I am so glad this was my first impression of Costa Rica! Pura vida!

Katty is a beautiful human. I was having a terrible time, and she made me tea and took my bag. She got up in the wee hours of the morning with me to make sure I got my airport taxi. God bless you Katty ❤️

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.
