    The owner Jonathan was extremely friendly & helpful. The property was exceptionally clean and his staff member Vanessa was also so friendly and helpful. Both spoke excellent English too. Rooms were large and so clean. Nothing was too much trouble. A great stay and kitchen facilities were fabulous. A couple of great eateries nearby too.

    Very easy to book tours with the hostel (not overpriced), good kitchen (can get a bit full in the evening). There is a supermarket really close-by. Very good value for money. Friendly people, you can also do laundry.

    You have to work hard to find any negatives, but since we're here: the surroundings feel a bit like a construction site, which may remove some of the charm. Also, there are waves of summercamp-type groups coming and going, and the shared kitchen feels like a high-school cafeteria most of the time. You need to plan your meal time accordingly: early morning or around 4-5pm...

    The private rooms have all the luxury and comfort you can hope for at a reasonable price. Plus, you get a charming and friendly welcome from the staff at the reception. The owner reduces his price during low season to keep his employees on payroll, that says it all!

    Amazing place in the heart of Monteverde. Very close to everything. We booked the studio and were impressed with the amount of attention to detail of the place. Everything was perfectly clean. Fully equipped kitchen, you can actually live there if you wish to. The staff at reception were incredibly helpful as well. Would totally go back to Cattleya whenever i go back to Monteverde

    Everything under private room with bathroom felt like a hostel haha. Althought everything, everywhere is clean, smells good laundry, well organized.

    The private room with bathroom, a Queen Elizabeth room! The mattresses, the huge shower, the intimacy. The staff, the excursions on site, the AMAZING kindness of the staff! The cleanliness.

    Not an issue for us but maybe in the future: the bathrooms don't have any ventilation which increases the risk for mold development.

    Perfect hostel: kind and helpful staff, rooms and bathrooms were very clean, the room was very bright and seemed to be quite new, town center in walking distance, well equipped kitchen, laundry service available, tours could be booked on the spot. Exactly how a hostel should be!

    It’s really hard to think of things we didn’t like but if we had to pick something, we try not to use plastic especially single use so an organic waste bin and biodegradable bin bag in the bathroom would have made this the perfect stay

    Almost everything. A really nice little apartment, the type we would love to stay in everywhere we go.

    Was expecting a balcony where we could sit outside the room while the kids slept as got that impression from the listing.

    The smell of mold when we entered the room. We know it is very hard to fix it in this party of the country but there needs to be a solution for it.

    Beds, bathroom, further from the road, nice people to share the kitchen with, very nice hosts

    There were some sugar ants that found their way to the pack of gum (presumably) in my bag and had a long trail running across one of the beds.

    It is outside of the city center on a less busy street, so slightly quieter. Extremely clean. The only place I stayed within my modest price range that had warm water in the shower. Friendly staff.
