The hostel is the historic beach home of Cesar Valverde, a famous Costa Rican painter who has done several government murals, ie the one in the lobby of the Jade Museum! My private room had a framed chalk drawing of his that is fabulous! The hospitality of the staff and volunteers is heartwarming, exceptional. The hostel has a friendly vibe. It is not easily accessible to a swimming beach, but is waterfront over crashing waves. The walk to Montezuma town is a bit over a kilometer, with a waterfall trail as a side attraction. Swimming, boogie board beaches are just beyond Montezuma town.

Nice location, a bit off the main road so very quiet. Great pool to hang out. There are 2 well equipt kitchens availabe - the big one had 3 fridges so there is enough space for everyone. Also there was always salt and oil available. Nice pool to cool off - there was always a corner of the pool in the shade which was great. The 2 girls working/volunteering while our stay were so nice and helpful. There are two supermarkets very close, also just on the corner to the main street there is a surfshop to hire surfboards for a good price ($12 for 24h). There was plenty of room to store the surfboards at the Hostel and the beach is also less than 5 minutes away. We stayed for 8 nights and loved our stay.

It has an amazing common area, a lot of space to enjoy and make friends. The kitchen is great, 2 big fridges with enough space for everyone. It was comfortable enough for me to decide to prolong, and great value for the price. Definitely loved being here a lot more than at Selina. Oh, and they shared the bananas that grow on the property with everyone, really yummy and fresh 😍

I had an amazing time staying at Cafecito’s Surf House! The atmosphere was so welcoming, making it a perfect place to meet other travelers. The location was a 10/10. Just a short walk to the beach and plenty of great restaurants and shops nearby. Overall, I had a very pleasant experience. I can’t wait to come back! I highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a friendly and comfortable place to stay.

First of all, this is the most comfortable hostel i have ever stayed and i am sure this will f*ck up my travels because I will never find a hostel this good. Most important for me was my bed; it was comfy (140x200cm/queensize) had a LOT of privacy and because this hostel is not a party hostel i could sleep in peace. Second the vibe is very laid back, i feel if you're here for a couple of days you could easily keep people. Everything is cleaned once per day and reasonably clean, i feel like the bathroom (shower) could use a deep cleaning. Because i liked it so so much, i extended my stay and was here for over a month. For me it feels like home, would definitely come back and recommend 10/10! Pura vida and thanks to Uki, Tule and their team <3

All hostels in Montezuma

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.

    Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

    The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

    The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
