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.

    Great location in the heart of Puerto Jimenez, which couldn’t be closer to the standard bakery meeting point for the Corcovado trip to leave from. Walkable to all restaurants and waterfront and felt very safe! Staff incredibly friendly, including offering great local restaurant recommendations, and accommodation simple and nice with much needed air con. Staff kindly allowed us to store our luggage for 2 nights while we went to Corcovado and so we stayed an extra night upon return to Puerto Jimenez.

    The staff was making sure every day for three weeks to make my visit as pleasant as possible. The shared areas and kitchen gave an opportunity to meet other travelers and exchange ideas for activities in Puerto Jiménez. The hotel is excellent for different tourists ranging from eg. backpackers to families.

    The room was great with a great view. The staff went above and beyond to make my stay really special. They arrange great tours. The property is in a great location but also very quiet and close to the beach. I felt very safe as a solo traveler.

    How crazy to find such a cheap hostel during Easter Week in a place like Puerto Jimenez...! The Hostel was at least 15$ cheaper than any other available, and it was really great! David, the host, it's super chill, interested and great person. The kitchen is really nice, toilets are clean, and the rooms are big, big beds with curtains, fans. The people there were really nice aswell! Couldn't ask for better! Definitely would recommend and stay again
