    Super clean facilities and the kitchen has so many things that you could ever need. Air-conditioned rooms are a god send. The staff are very nice and helped us out with directions for how to get the bus to La Fortuna

    We needed somewhere as a stopover between San Juan del Sur and Monteverde as we travelled by bus over 2 days. So Liberia was the natural place to break the journey. Hostel El Pretal was perfect- close to the bus station, super clean, excellent...
