A pleasant place to stay with the added interest of Iguanas crawling in the roof spaces. You may need to check whether it is up for sale. Please note Lago Arenal Hostal, at Nuevo Arenal, no longer exists, It is now an expensive Bluezone Spa Hotel.

Very nice owners and location (up hill from mail rd, just before arriving at funky monkey). Far enough off main rd to avoid constant dust, and close to beach trail and many food options. Ac Use ( only available in livingroom) is $7 a day, towel use is $3, and it's byob drinking water ( not cheap at the local market). The neighbors also have roosters, just so you know.

Sorry you feel like that but thanks for the feedback. Personally I find that the cheaper hostels in town can be a bit dirty/noisy whereas we try to offer a relaxed, peaceful atmosphere. Also you came during peak season, at other times of year the prices are lower.

The air conditioner in the shared room is not a good idea. you need them in the bedrooms. Hooks on the walls to hang clothes...goood idea

Thanks for the review. Unfortunately as we rent rather than own the property, we're not able to make big changes to the building like putting in new air conditioning units. I hope the fans in the bedroom did the job ok!

Private room was actually 2 separate rooms of a fully equipped apartment (kitchen, fridge etc) which was good. Was a problem with plumbing noises, however owners of hostel very apologetic and did all they could to rectify the problem.

We really enjoyed our stay here,we were in a private room, the standard was higher than other places we have stayed, it was comfortable, clean with plenty of space. The owners were friendly, gave us plenty of information about what to do and how to get about, nice relaxed atmosphere. It was a little way up a side road with trees all around, but we could be on the beach in a couple of minutes and there was a supermarket round the corner. Would have been happy to stay longer. Highly recommended.
