This hostel is lovely! Wifi is strong enough to work in the front and in the back in the secret garden. The showers are hot and the cylinder is a really unique place to stay. They help you arrange tours and in that way you can meet people. The pool is nice and gets sun. It is an easy walk into town with loads of restaurants and bars.

    Excellent value for money. Great location. Close to a supermarket, which was good to utilise the kitchen. Esteban was very friendly, helpful and responsive. He organised a shuttle to Monteverde for us that was cheaper than anywhere else we could find. I even got an invite to go and play Soccer with his local friends.

    This is the one and only hostel for La Fortuna and visiting the volcano Arenal + surroundings. Wilson is simply the best host ever! He organized everything and gave us great tips what to do for fun on a budget. The hostel is clean, comfy, has a great kitchen and is quiet. (Budget) Backpackers+Travellers, this is your address! Thank you again, Wilson!!

    I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

    The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!

    It had a great pool, nice hangout areas if it’s not raining. Rooms were basic but did the job and was nice to not have a bunk bed (although ours was the only room without). Great location in the centre of the town. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Generally a spacious and nice hostel.

    great location and priced low like a hostel but you get your own room and bathroom for same budget that most shared accomodations charge. For a last minute place to crash at a budget it was good. Basic but clean and private which is all we needed
