The hostel was very dirty. The rooms and no blinds, just scratched off white paint on the window. Everybody can see into the rooms. The bathrooms were gross and their was very little room to move around in the rooms.

We stayed here for 5 nights, couldnt have asked for a better place, atmosphere is relaxed and fun. Nice sunsets from chill area, hammocks, tv, and music. The breakfast is great here, coffee free all day, and the Pizza is delicious. After a 14 hour bus/ferry ride up from Jaco, we were enthusiastically greeted by the owner Ryan, showed to... More

We checked in here and basically checked straight out again. For the price this hostel charged it was woefully inadequate, and makes me question all the previous reviewers - have they stayed anywhere else ever?

This is a new and fresh hostal , great located near the beach and away from the street noise. Ryan the owner is very helpful and welcoming to everyone. And the pizza...jummy...its a must!

The value is great there, location is central right by the beach... Good food. Pizza is a must try! The rooms were pretty standard but very clean. The owner is super cool and showed us a great night on the town! Would for sure come back.

I had the best time at this hostel, really great location in the middle of the action and so close to the beach! The owner and staff are so fun and friendly and really go out of their way to make sure your having the best time! Also best pizza place in town and cheapest!
