At Hostel Casa Tranquilo you will find a garden, BBQ facilities and a terrace. Other facilities offered include a tour desk.

I loved this hostel! Much cheaper than other places in the area, but super nice and comfortable. It felt like I was in Austria on a skiing holiday, with all the wood inside. Super cosy. The breakfast was good too, and the staff was really helpful with arranging tours for us (ziplining and to El Tigre). I can definitely recommend this hostel.

OutBox Inn has a garden, shared lounge, a terrace and restaurant in Monteverde Costa Rica. Boasting a bar, the hostel is close to several noted attractions, around 100 metres from Monteverde Orchid Garden and around 1.9 km from Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary. The accommodation features evening entertainment and a shared kitchen.

The bed was very comfortable and the room had hangers, which was great. I liked how the bed frame extends out, providing a place to put things. The kitchen and dining area offer a beautiful view of the scenery. The location was excellent, as there were many restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance, and it only took 15 minutes to drive to Monteverde Cloud Forest.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Excellent staff and hosts One of the best kitchens I have seen in any hostel Great common area Very clean Comfortable room, and clean bath room with hot showers While the main bus terminal is a ten minutes walk, the public bus from Monteverde to San Jose stops at a place one minute away from the hostel. Hence there is no need to go to the main bus terminal Very safe and access is secured by keys to the Hall and then to the room Lockers available for storing any valuables Great value for money

    Great location, close to Monte Verde town. All the staff were really friendly and helpful with anything we needed and with booking tours and shuttles. We did an amazing morning tour with a guide in Monteverde recommended to us from the hostel. The room was really comfortable. Great value for money! Thank you

    It was a small hostel, but had lots of places to sit. They provide an amazing breakfast. The laundry service was pretty cheap and quick. The kitchen was fully equipped and had two sinks which was useful. The lockers were nice and big.
