What not to like?!?! This place felt like home! The best hostel in Costa Rica so far (and also very high on my list of hostel from over 55 countries). The owners were the nicest people, welcoming, helpful and always with a smile! They have cute little dogs which made the place feel even more like home! The rooms were clean, tidy and not crowded (like some other places have). Beds were comfortable. The toilets were always clean! The breakfast was amazing, fruits, eggs and pancake with free water and coffee all day. The social areas were great to meet other travellers and create our little travel fam!

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.

    Excellent staff and hosts One of the best kitchens I have seen in any hostel Great common area Very clean Comfortable room, and clean bath room with hot showers While the main bus terminal is a ten minutes walk, the public bus from Monteverde to San Jose stops at a place one minute away from the hostel. Hence there is no need to go to the main bus terminal Very safe and access is secured by keys to the Hall and then to the room Lockers available for storing any valuables Great value for money

    Great location, close to Monte Verde town. All the staff were really friendly and helpful with anything we needed and with booking tours and shuttles. We did an amazing morning tour with a guide in Monteverde recommended to us from the hostel. The room was really comfortable. Great value for money! Thank you

    It was a small hostel, but had lots of places to sit. They provide an amazing breakfast. The laundry service was pretty cheap and quick. The kitchen was fully equipped and had two sinks which was useful. The lockers were nice and big.
