Pros: Really, really nice hostel! Very laid back, really nice facilities (especially the kitchen) and super friendly hosts. 30 seconds to the beach and a couple of minutes walk to some really nice coffee shops, food outlets, bars. I booked one night, arrived and immediately extended for another! Would definitely stay again!

Absolutely loved my stay here!

Pros: The location is perfect – just a 1-minute walk from the beach, where you can catch breathtaking sunsets every evening. The vibe of the hostel is relaxed, friendly, and super welcoming. A special shoutout to Juan, who went above and beyond to help me during my stay – especially when I needed to buy my Tica Bus ticket. He was incredibly kind, patient, and resourceful. If you're looking for a chill spot close to the ocean, with helpful staff and a great atmosphere, this is the place. Would definitely come back!
