Hostel Plinio Reviews

Beautiful hostel, definitely one of those could just stay there all day if you wanted. Great to relax if feeling a bit of backpackers fatigue. 10 minute bus ride to the actual park. It may have just been an off night when we were there, but it was not super "backpackery." It was more couples vacationing than anything. Also, did not like the fact that there was no lock or key for the dorm doors.

Hostel plinio is by far the nicest hostel we have stayed at on our 8 week vacation in Costa Rica. Alisha the owner was super friendly and accommodating, and you could always find her cleaning or helping people around the hostel. The rooms are unbelievable. We stayed in a four bed mixed dorm and we had a living room, bathroom, balcony, tons of storage, and a top balcony (there were three levels to our one dorm!). The hostel also has a pool, free breakfast, and a restaurant. Excellent experience!

The staff is warm and welcoming! We never even wanted to leave the hostel because it had everything: a restaurant with delicious food and drinks, a pool, cool people, and unreal scenery. It's open and spacious, and by far the most comfortable hostel I have ever stayed in.

Very spacious room for one of the 4 person dorms. Loved the set up with pool and restaurant. The breakfast provided had a decent assortment of fruit. Really nice staff.

We had a wonderful stay in the spacious dorm room. Because the place used to be a hotel, it has great hotel features like large open rooms, huge pool, and nice lounge area - all at hostel prices. The owners are travelers themselves and understand what travelers are looking for in a hostel. If you are there on a Sunday, you can enjoy a pool party. Or Tuesday night you can listen to Corey play music at a local bar. Wonderful place to relax and easy to get to by bus or 15 minute walk from Quepos.

Couldn't have dreamed up a better hostel experience. Our original trip plans had us at this hostel only two nights, but we fell in love with the place and cancelled the next few stops so we could extend our stay. The hostel managers (Corey and Alicia) were the icing on the cake. They took us to a concert (Corey was the main act), gave great recommendations for adventures, and even drove us down the coast for some surfing and fun in a secluded river one day.

Wonderful hostel with very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Great location-- walking distance to Quepos, short bus ride to Manuel Antonio. Very comfortable environment with a refreshing pool! Loved staying there and would definitely recommend it to friends.

Hotel Plinio was so much more than I expected. Even though it's a hostel, nothing felt cheap. I actually think itd be a great place to come back with my family. The city's real chill. We came here for some beach time, but unfortunately only scheduled one night. Big mistake. Can't wait to come back and stay at Hotel Plinio

Alisha and her staff were all very friendly and helpful. This hostel has only recently re-opened, hence the lack of reviews - but this place deserves a high rating - it's a cool spot, has a great pool and a friendly relaxed vibe. My only negative feedback is regarding the mattresses, spotlessly clean, but a bit on the firm side.

The tree house style means that there are stairs, but I loved the layout and top terrace view. There's plenty of space to spread out and it'd be great for a group of friends. The building is worn and some needed improvements are still in progress, but it is nicely cleaned! The staff was helpful, and kept our stuff behind the desk so that we could go to Manuel Antonio before check-in time. The location is closer to Quepos, but the advantage was that we could to walk to the bus station in 20min.
