    Only one sink, toilet, shower and mirror in tje one bathroom for 8 people in the female dormitory. Blannet is really thin.

    The staff was really nice and always helped us out. Breakfast is the typival rice with beams and eggs, but you get a banana fpr your trips as well.

    Some of the showers didnt always have hot water. WiFi throughout the property could be bad sometimes.

    The location is perfect for all activities in La Fortuna. All facilities were great, rooms are very hot without A/C, but plenty of room in the hostel to relax throughout the day. Staff very friendly, accommodating and keep it clean at all times. Fantastic breeakfast

    The shared bedrooms were incredibly small and the staff was not very helpful in giving guidance for our stay. We could only pay cash and the free shuttle to the hot springs (which is excessively used for advertising) only goes once a day.

    The breakfast was very nice and it was great to have A/C in the rooms.

    As a solo traveller may not be the best, as more like a hotel, but great, very friendly staff and very clean

    The rooms were very clean and had air con. The hotel was very clean, it was more like a hotel than a hostel, but nice. Breakfast was very nice.

    Just a warning to watch your stuff in this town. We were at an open air restaurant and the couple in front of us went to dance and there were men lurking just outside and they came back from dancing and her purse was gone with cell phones etc etc. They wait till you are drunk or not paying attention. Not dangerous at all, just locals looking for a quick and easy take. They know there are lots of young travelers who may not be paying attention. This was actually an older couple that had her purse stolen. The men outside can easily reach onto the tables from where they hang out. So sit further in, or just be aware. I forget the name of the restaurant, but the locals were hanging there at night and looked suspicious.

    Great to have a breakfast served. The noise went till 2am but it was from a bar a few blocks away so any accommodation would have the same. It is a party town and vibrant for that reason! Got used to the music at night. Our place was chill and they had rules in place for noise. All was wonderful!

    We had a problem with our bathroom door locking from the inside with no one in there, so the whole dorm had to use other bathrooms elsewhere while it was fixed. No sockets by each bed so some had to charge on a shelf by the door, which isn’t great for security as the dorm door didn’t lock. No lockers for security. Location is a bit away from the main plaza area compared to other accommodations but not too far.

    Nice communal areas to chill or socialise with plenty of charge points, and the staff were helpful. A shuttle to certain sights was a plus and they could arrange other activities easily. Air con available in the rooms. Kitchen space to cook in. Decent breakfast offered and free coffee was always appreciated.

    We did not have much of a view from the room. We asked for a second floor but they did not have any for the whole duration of our stay.

    Breakfast was very good. Location was excellent with 5 min walk to beach and to the national park. We had a big SUV but they found a good place for us to park. When we asked about Cocoverde national park as we were not sure if we should do the day trip, they told us it is a beautiful place and we should if we had the time. We did and it was one of the best experiences of Costa Rica for us.

    One of the front reception staff was rude. I would recommend searching around other places for tours etc as they were overcharging for many of these; with the staff member gloating about his commission on one occasion.

    Excellent facilities. We stayed in a private room which was clean and well set up. The communal kitchen was great. Breakfast was also really good. The cleaning staff and kitchen staff were brilliant. Really nice atmosphere with mainly young people. Drinks wrapped up at 10pm and there was no issues with noise after this. The unlimited shuttle was really handy also, would recommend getting this. I would give 10/10 - minus 2 for front reception staff.

    staff was a bit sketchy about the tours they offer, tried to charge you more and suddenly tours weren’t available or more expensive, can’t pay by card when you’re staying in a dorm

    walking distance to town, but quiet area, nice facilities, dorms with ac and lockers, really nice breakfast included, nice common area

    Outside disco noise was very loud Saturday and Sunday until 1am. The shower not hot but the manager fixed it. Also this was the only place I had to give a deposit for a room key and a towel and you must have the exact amount. Best to book day trips through Posh Backpacker.

    The breakfast was great and the outdoor seating area really relaxing. The dorm room was clean and good locker space.
