I wish the shared bathrooms came with soap, shampoo, conditioner dispensers.

The hostel was very clean and the staff were extremely helpful with any questions I had. The room was simple but exactly what I needed. It was walking distance to the beach and to the park as well as several restaurants. The restaurant in the hostel also had great food and the prices were reasonable.

It had a great vibe. The staff were friendly. Huge, free breakfast and coffee comes with the room. The location is two blocks from the Nature Reserve and another two from the public beach. There are several restaurants nearby, as well as the one on site. They were responsive to questions concerning transportation, late check-in if necessary, etc., and followed up with me to confirm my arrival time.

The room didn't have Air Conditioning but does have a fan. Wish I could fix the fan to blow on me the whole night instead of rotating.

I loved how close I was to the beach and the Park! The resteraunt was affordable and the staff were super friendly! I felt safe the entire time I travelled!

This hostel was awesome, especially for the location. The staff were incredibly friendly, and attentive. It was a very welcoming space. The breakfast was substantial but really nice and it has a good restaurant with well priced food, makes up for lack of kitchen facilities.

No air con, only a fan.

Great place to stay and very close to the national park

Stayed in May 2025

The rooms are very sparsely furnished, with no shelves nor closets of any kind. And can get very hot, but there is a good ceiling fan.

Very good location, a short walk both to the beach and the entrance to the National Park. The area is quiet at night. The included local breakfast is very good. And the restaurant is also very good for meals. The shared showers and toilets were clean. Good value. I would definitely recommend it for a short stay when visiting Manuel Antonio NP.

Lack of cleanliness in the room, we had quite some bugs running around. No AC and it was very hot (difficult to sleep). Beds were not too comfortable.

Great location and the restaurant is very good

The room was warm but that wasn’t the hotels fault.

The staff were lively. Special shoutout to Oscar who was genuinely lovely and went out of his way to make your stay comfortable! Close to all activities. The courtyard outdoor shower was lovely. Nice to have breakfast included. The food was great and plentiful. As was the coffee.

the toilet stalls are very tiny, you can't avoid hitting your face by the door before sitting down! our 4 beds room was also small, not much room for our luggage , which all have to spread over on the floor, when there isn't any table and chair, let alone shelves

originally we booked 2 rooms with 2 twin beds, then found that only those 4 beds dorm room on ground floor has air-conditioning, so we moved into one. only with a/c we can sleep. the breakfast was good portion and the fruit plate was delicious.

I wish the washrooms had a fan to help with ventilation. Guests may want to keep in mind that, at least in the women's washroom, the toilet and shower stalls are quite small.

Excellent location right by everything: beaches, restaurants, park, and bus stop. The breakfast seems small but is filling. If you're from a colder climate, I suggest getting a room with A/C airconditioning! It definitely made my stay more enjoyable. As someone whos sensitive to cleanliness, the washrooms were clean including walls/grout. Staff is the best and the host was always helpful and friendly. It was likely a unique circumstance, but they even let me stay past the usual check-out time given that my ride was coming later. Really appreciated this and made my exit smooth. Very laid back in terms of social hostel which I enjoyed and quiet hours were respected. Hope to come back here again!

The room could use a little bit of maintenance / upgrade.

The location is excellent, right next to the public and the Manuel Antonio Park. The location is the best feature of the hostel, since I ended up spending most of my time at either the beach or the park.

Stayed in March 2025

It was quite hot in the rooms as there was no A/C.

Very close to the national park, excellent breakfast and nice staff, also close to the beach.

The room was really hot. I had to keep my luggage on the floor because there was only a small table in the room.

Really good breakfast and the location was perfect. Friendly staff.

Wonderful staff, great location walking distance to the park. Exactly what we needed from a hostel at a good price, throughly recommend it.

Stayed in December 2024

Even though the room had a fan, it got very hot during the day and night through most of our stay. Might need more ventilation.

Very close to beach and national park. Nice bar and restaurant out the front and breakfast was very nice.

Stayed in December 2024

we had reserved a room with a double bed and ac, but they were renovating at the time so they didn't have that room available, that said we paid a cheaper price for the room and so it didn't end up bothering us that much

the room was nice comfy and clean the place was very close to the national park as well and the food was delicious! the hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming! highly recommend this hostel! Pura vida!

Stayed in October 2024

Only cold showers, no A/C with very little air movement due to the rooms inside the building-got very hot

Breakfast and location were the best!

Stayed in May 2024

AC in room would be a plus and a chair and small table would be nice

The rooms are like nothing I saw before🥴. Just a bed and a fan on the ceiling. The people are very nice . Breakfast is the best and it is 3 minutes from the beach and National park is 5 minutes walk.

Location

Stayed in March 2024

The showers are very basic in a common bathroom but did their job. Sadly there is no kitchen for the guests to use.

Booked a single room for two, it was clean and had a ceiling fan which saved our live. The included breakfast in the morning is very tasty and consists of gallo pinto, pancakes, fresh fruit and coffee.
