Nice hostel, very close to the grocery store. GREAT HOT WATER. Cutest puppy / fluff ball ever! Can arrange a shuttle or take a bus for like $2 to ether Cloud Forrest. Not as glitzy as other Costa Rica Hostel network places, but still a very nice and comfortable stay. Someone did take a lot of our food, so labels would have been nice.

I don't think I've ever given a perfect score to a hostel before. Alonso was awesome, the place was super clean and comfortable, someone on sight as security night and day, and the other staff members were all great as well. Can't beat the location, and Kimanchi (Alonso's dog) is enough to make the stay worth it.
