    Cute hostel near to the centre of La Fortuna. Decent kitchen and around the corner from a big supermarket. Really nice terrace upstairs to chill. Beds have curtains and bathroom in the dorm. Nice staff - thanks Aron, Margarita and Claudia for all the help during my stay.

    Staff are friendly and helpful

    Black mould on the pillows, bad smells, fan doesn’t work in the bathroom so room gets very humid, air con only turned on from 9pm ish until 7am. The small pillow on the bed smells so bad, i don’t think it’s been washed for a long time. All the beds make so much noise with any movement, and the mattress is not comfortable at all.

    The location of the hostel is really good. It's close to the center and also at walking distance to the river. All the staff was really nice and so helpful. They offer great tours and help you with all questions you have. Olivia helped me book my tours, she was really lovely. I'd recommend staying at this hostel!

    This is such a nice hostel for the price. Clean bathrooms and beds as well as attentive staff. They also had some hostel activities while I was there. Very nice touch.

    There is nothing in particular I didn’t like about argdivan. It is a very nice place to stay and would definitely do it again.

    Our stay at Argdivan hostel was amazing, the place made us feel at home and was a very homey environment. The volunteers Fiona and Jasmine were very welcoming and were quick to answer any questions we had about the hostel or the city itself.

    My stay at Argdivan was wonderful and the staff made sure it that way. The property is very comfortable, it was clean, everything worked as expected and I got all the information I needed to get around and do plans in La Fortuna. It is clear that the owners, Lauti and Lara, and the people that work there like Manu and Agus, put a lot of effort into creating a great experience for the guests! I would recommend Argdivan to anyone travelling to La Fortuna.

    The only thing that could have been a little bit better was the kitchen area as utensils were not in good shape but this is common in hostels and I was able to cook meals anyway.

    Great building and the private room was really nice. A/C worked amazing. Hot shower!! Awesome rooftop balcony & great WiFi

    The linens and towels were very tattered- there was a rip in the sheets & holes in the towels. The pillows smelled really bad, like body odor/urine. Also, they charged a huge 10% credit card fee on top of the taxes & fees already included by bookings.com. This was not shown or disclosed at time of booking which is unethical.

    I stayed here after two days of staying in another hostel in la Fortuna! My experience was amazing! Good kitchen, wifi and clean rooms, coffee in the morning and helpful staff! Specially George! He was amazing! Every night there’s a party at the bar, you only need him for the party:) Roland, the manager, was also amazing!

    Great location. Made really cool world-travelling friends. Ana and Jana, who were helping at the hostel, are trilingual and made my stay very enjoyable. The owners are very kind and helpful, leading by example. There were lots of activities and excursions to do. I would definitely stay here again next time.
