I appreciated the stay as I had traveled all day and welcomed a night to rest. The space is quaint & beautiful; I love all the plant decor! The staff were very kind and helpful. Breakfast included was delicious. It is located in a part of town I was uncomfortable with (as a foreigner), but the hostel was welcoming.

Geraldo and his family were extremely welcoming & helpful. They made me feel like part of their family. I will certainly stay there on my next trip to Costa Rica. Highly recommended if you’re okay with pension style sleeping arrangements. It’s the best way to meet new people
