My stay at Ceiba was absolutely incredible, it was by far the cleanest hostel I ever stayed at. I loved waking up to the volcano view every day and I honestly have nothing bad to say about the place, the people you meet as well as the staff are super nice and helpful. The kitchen was very big and had everything we needed, and the beds were a lot more comfortable than anticipated. Overall a great experience and I’m super excited to see what the place will look like once they add all the different amenities they have planned!

Pura Vibra Hostel is honestly such an amazing place, and I highly recommend it to all travelers. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted by Ana, who is so kind and accommodating. The space is beautifully decorated & the ambiance is so peaceful. It is just what I needed! The location is amazing; it's in a quiet area, but it is still so central (it took me 3 minutes to walk to the main street). The kitchen is very well equipped (it's actually the best kitchen that I have seen in a hostel). I loved the 6 bed dorm that I stayed in. The beds are SO comfortable, and I love that they have individual curtains, so you still feel like you have privacy. There are charging ports and an individual fan for each bed, which is very convenient. The shower pressure is great, and there is also hot water (we all know this is rare in hostels, haha). As you can tell, I loved my time at Pura Vibra Hostel. The low price is just a bonus!

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.

the property was conveniently located, on the main strip. There are plenty of options for food and beverages around, right next to a convenience store for all of your snacks, sofas and beer needs…

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.

    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!
