Reviews of Ceiba Hostel

Great location, everything is brand new and clean. Fully equipped kitchen which is great. The dorm had AC at night and curtains. The staff are very welcoming and helpful - thank you Ronald, Aron and Marimar!

The place has a nice vibe with smiley guests and staff. The facilities are very good and the kitchen is spacious and with lots of utensils. Many bathrooms inside and outside the dorms make everyone's life easier.

I've started to notice a bit of a pattern in this part of the world where they treat Genius Level 3 holders unequally which is something Booking should address. If you're a frequent user of the platform, you get additional discounts which hostels are unhappy about and either try to upsell by upgrading you to a room or service you don't need or give you the worst of what's available with no choice. The absurdity of having to pay $3 extra in a 10-bed dorm for a bed by the window ''with a volcano view'' is a first for me. Little made up policies which achieve nothing but to make travellers unhappy and earn a bad review. If you're a frequent flyer, they don't seat you on the wing, do they?

The hostel is new, spacious and clean. Kitchen is well furnished.

Only one bathroom upstairs where the dorms are, the others are all downstairs and outside, which is not the most convenient. Dorm was quite small.

I like the general atmosphere of the place, and I feel like the common spaces are nicely done to create interaction. There is also a working area you can use if you are teleworking for instance. The air conditioning is put on at night which makes it super nice to sleep. Each bed has its own privacy with curtains, a plug to charge your phone and a light. There is a shared bathroom per dorm. I paid extra for breakfast that was prepared by one of the staff. She was adorable, asked me what I would prefer and made me a different thing each morning. If you are staying more than one night, you can use the laundry service as well for some extra dollars. When I arrived, the person that did my check in also told me about all the different activities to do in and around La Fortuna, including three nice free spots like El Salto (rope swing into the river) or the hot springs. The hostel is located 5-10min walk to the city park, has plenty of small shops, markets and restaurants around and has a few parking spots if you are with a car.

Alonso was really nice and helped me a lot to plan my trip. Great hostel to stay and meet people

Clean, spacious open area and garden. Big and fully equipped kitchen. Quiet area. Location is OK too. Hot water shower and bathroom is clean and big. The staff are Good too.

The dormitory room is really crowdy. The Air-conditioning is only on from 8:30 pm until 5:00 am. Afternoon the dormitory is very hot 🔥.

Really underrated - and cheap for what it is. People were really nice, it was clean and new, you have your own privacy if you want it and social spaces are very great. +1 for the guitar!

The staff was incredible ! The location very convenient as well! The tours they offered great!

The AC is set up automatically to start at 9 and shut down at 6, without being able to control it… not ideal!

My stay at Ceiba was absolutely incredible, it was by far the cleanest hostel I ever stayed at. I loved waking up to the volcano view every day and I honestly have nothing bad to say about the place, the people you meet as well as the staff are super nice and helpful. The kitchen was very big and had everything we needed, and the beds were a lot more comfortable than anticipated. Overall a great experience and I’m super excited to see what the place will look like once they add all the different amenities they have planned!

I loved the cleanliness

There is honestly nothing negative to say about Ceiba, the hostel was fantastic
