I come and go to Costa Rica from the United States. And I always stayed here Kathy greets you with a cold glass of water or a cup of tea every time. She will also make sure that you have a taxi to your next destination. It's only five minutes from the airport. Always very clean and you can cook and put stuff in the refrigerator.

Well first off I’ve never commented on this before so I suspect it’s because they’ve all been satisfactory however the shower in this room was amazing. I spent almost an hour in the shower.

The hosts were excellent and spoke good English. I had to book last minute and late at night, but they were able to accommodate me, show me the parking, and made good breakfast + coffee the morning after my stay.

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.

Lovely home from home hostel. Staff great, helpful and cheerful. Location good, in safe quite area, shops nearby. Kitchen you share with the home. Hot showers which is fab. Beds comfy, linen changed frequently as are towels. Lovely little garden area. Hosts will meet and drop off at airport for $10 each way.

The room was super clean and the water was hot in the bathroom. As a solo female traveller, I didn't feel unsafe at all. The staff went out of their way to help and to make me feel comfortable getting to the hostel and to my next destination. The restaurant is a good value and the food is good too...but you can't beat that view. I would stay there again.

The best hostel I have stayed in Costa Rica so far! Owners were so friendly and helpful, breakfast was delicious and I felt so safe there. I’ll definitely be back and I would 100% recommend that to everyone who needs a place to stay close to the airport.

Great location, great value for the price. The hostel is nice and the bed (I slept in a dormiroty) was good. I had a good night of sleep (only waken up because of late arrivals). There are plugs right next to each bed, which is super practical. The free shuttle to the airport is very helpful!
