I like the general atmosphere of the place, and I feel like the common spaces are nicely done to create interaction. There is also a working area you can use if you are teleworking for instance. The air conditioning is put on at night which makes it super nice to sleep. Each bed has its own privacy with curtains, a plug to charge your phone and a light. There is a shared bathroom per dorm. I paid extra for breakfast that was prepared by one of the staff. She was adorable, asked me what I would prefer and made me a different thing each morning. If you are staying more than one night, you can use the laundry service as well for some extra dollars. When I arrived, the person that did my check in also told me about all the different activities to do in and around La Fortuna, including three nice free spots like El Salto (rope swing into the river) or the hot springs. The hostel is located 5-10min walk to the city park, has plenty of small shops, markets and restaurants around and has a few parking spots if you are with a car.

It was my first hostel in Costa Rica and I hope to find more places like this on my trip! Very nice reception, very nice common areas, lots of bathrooms and showers to use (which are new). When I arrived they explained me a map of the city and helped me to organize my activities to make the best use of my time. My favorites were the yoga area and the hostel pet!

The staff here are the best. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. The owner will go the extra mile to make your stay as good as possible. Comfortable bed, hot shower, and great location that is right in town but off the main streets and quiet. The kitchen is clean and well equipped with everything. Highly recommend staying here. Great value.

Lena and Tony were excellent hosts and extremely helpful with picking excursions. The place was in a great location and after receiving a fan in the room the temperature was good too.

    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!
