Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The accommodation features airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available.

In the end, we extended our stay from two to four nights at the hostel and had an amazing time. All the staff members were super kind and made us feel like home. Everything important (supermarkets, beaches, the national park, Quepos etc.) is reachable by bus or walking. Next to the hostel is a small “forest” where you can observe sloths, monkeys and iguanas. We would definitly recommend to stay at this hostel for a trip to Manuel Antonio!

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 booked a private room which was basic but fine. Pedestal fan provided. Swimming pool was very warm and clean. Huge communal kitchen with plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans etc. Nice supermarket one street away. Unusually for a Costa Rica hostel, they accept card payment !

    I liked the location, very close to the bus stop, very closed to the restaurants. The pool was really nice surrounded by flowers and coconut trees. It was quieter than staying along the road towards Manuel Antonio Park. I will recommand to stay there while vising the Manuel Antonio park as there are buses departing close to the hostel, and you will sleep better, and be able to go to cheaper supermarkets or restaurants.

    This is a very comfortable and affordable Hostel. The air conditioning in the rooms works great. The kitchen is great and the shared bathroom is big. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. It’s also in a great location - Right in the middle of Quepos.

    Everything. It's the best hostel ever directly located at the beach. You don't only have sand but also grass surfaces which is really nice as well. The best thing is the jungle shower.

    Absolutely loved this hostel! Kitchen was well equipped and lots of areas to relax. Felt very secure and safe. More of a family getaway than a hostel vibe which we didn’t mind.

    It was our best hostel in Costa Rica. Pamela and Jorge are one of the best hosts we have ever experienced. At our arrival, Jorge picked us up at the busterminal and showed us nice spots in quepos + our first sloth. He also helped us to plan our activities. Breakfast is perfect, we had the chose between a traditional (gallo pinto) and a classic one (fruits eggs and toast). All in all - the best, cleanest, nicest hostel we have experienced in CR.
