Book only one night needed to be closed to the airport prior to leaving Costa Rica. I arrived too early to check in so I left my backpack in the storage and went sightseeing. Rooms were cleaned however my issues was with the cleanliness of the bathrooms I wish they were cleaner . Shower’s didn’t have any hooks or shelves and I didn’t have anywhere to but my stuff other then the floor. I found a very cockroach in the shower which was also gross. Bathrooms could definitely be cleaner and furniture could be less broken done. Definitely more on the budget friendly side.

I stayed in a 4-bedroom dorm, great space, several guest houses and accommodation combined. I could use the pool and the restaurant of the backpackers next door. Check in smooth, easy, friendly staff, coffee for free. I picked the location as it was central yet not right downtown. Great Irish bar around the corner. The only thing you need to be aware of is the nearby train tracks. The train signals when passing, yet none passed at night, so all good.

One of the cleanest places I have ever stayed at! The host literally responds within seconds and is extremely helpful. The hostel is not very big, so it is very quiet, which was very important for us. We cooked every day throughout our trip and we were the only ones cooking as well. We had a private room with private bathroom, but the bathroom wasn’t attached to the room, was in front of the room, which wasn’t a problem for us either.

Guest UserThe handmade pancakes for breakfast are very delicious!
The room is for 1 people, but I was a little surprised to hear the sound of the next room or the sound of a cat running on it.
If I stayed for a few days, I thought it would be nice to have a place to put clothes and towels on.
