CASA PURA VIDA SURF HOSTEL, Tamarindo, Costa Rica
9.1
17th Mar 2016

Great party hostel for Tamarindo. You won't get too much riff-raff from town, but you'll still find a ton of people to meet and party with. The bean bags are awesome. The staff is amazing. I'd stay here again in Tamarindo because you have a great communal kitchen and it is a good location to start your beach adventures. Get the air-conditioned room! Trust me.

Pipe House Playa Grande, Tamarindo, Costa Rica
10.0
15th Mar 2016

A must stay in Playa Grande. Felipe, the owner, lives on site and is more than happy to help you with anything you need. The communal kitchen is the best in Costa Rica. The bathrooms are brand new and clean. The places to hangout give the whole Pipehouse a great vibe. If you want to relax, this is the place to go. You'll meet a few new friends too. The pipes are a great design and well-worth the money, especially because they are air conditioned. Definitely recommend.

Mayol Lodge, La Fortuna, Costa Rica

14th Mar 2016

This is a good hostel in La Fortuna. The staff who makes the breakfast is amazing, so funny and loving. The pool is nice, but it seems too have a bit too much chlorine. The place feels like an United States motel, but there are enough places to hangout that give it that hostel feel. If you're looking to party, this is not it, but it won't stop you from meeting new friends over beers near the pool. The room we stayed in was not Air conditioned, but it did have two fans.

Chillout House, Monteverde, Costa Rica
9.4
12th Mar 2016

This is a great hostel if you have a car or don't mind walking into Santa Elena. They have everything you need to have a good time with your friends or alone. Their wifi works great, they have a communal kitchen, and the staff is more than happy to book tours for you. I recommend doing the tours especially the night tour and ziplining. You'll be picked up by the tour buses right outside Chillout's door. This is not a party hostel, but a place to relax with your friends or yourself.

A great kitchen, a great Tv room, cold hostel though. I wish it was a bit warmer in our stay. Otherwise, they have lockers to lock your valuable stuff adjacent to the room.

Basically, you stay in a closet if you book the six bed room. For the price, I'd hope it would be bigger because the people in our room stunk. Otherwise, the kitchen is nice and well organized.

We stayed last weekend and we will be staying again next weekend. No better place to stay if you're using the train station to get out of Dublin then flying out from Dublin. Great atmosphere and awesome kitchen, though people need to learn how to do their own dishes.

Being the cheapest place to book in Glasgow, we could not complain about anything except the WIFi connection which made you click back in after 15 minutes. If they can somehow change it to 30 minutes, I'd be a littler happier. Otherwise, I recommend the double rooms, so cheap and so nice.

A nice hostel with a great breakfast. Not much more to say, if you stayed at a St. Christopher's before, this one is a good one.

You don't book this hotel for atmosphere, but if you want a nice and enjoyable place to lay your head at night, this is got to be it. The staff is very friendly and accommodating. I would stay here again given its location to Termini and if I have a flight or train, I can hop on the bus or train from the station in less than ten minutes.

A Casa Totti, Rome, Italy
8.9
1st Nov 2014

Ms. Totti is very friendly woman who mainly speaks Italian. She provides breakfast in the morning with as much coffee as you may drink. If you book a shared bathroom, there is only one bathroom between two rooms. We booked it for its location to Termini, which cannot be beat. The neighborhood is near Nationzale and close to a Metro for the Vatican attractions. The beds are soft and she makes them for you every day with fresh towels. It is like staying at your Italian Grandma's house.

It was a nice apartment with relatively good everything, but nothing stood out as amazing. I'm sure it would be a nice place in high season, but in low season, there is no atmosphere to speak of. I also, wished that we could bring hot drinks to the wifi area and not have to rely on the hotel to make us food or drinks. Wifi in the area was good, none in the rooms.

6th Sep 2014

We stayed in a private double with a beautiful view of Aya Sofia. Everything was wonderful from the staff to the breakfast. The only problems we faced was a dreadfully slow wifi connection and a lack of bathrooms during the busy hours (mornings mostly). It would be nice to be able to cook our own food in the kitchen without charge, but it was not much of a big deal. The receptionist is the best and the other guys are fun as well.

Air conditioner would have been nice during the hot weather. No screens or bars on our windows in our room was a bit unnerving when we left our room. The rooftop is great, the breakfast is good. The showers are cleaned everyday. The staff is present always and you can always make yourself tea or coffee. If I'm in the area, I'd stay again.

Nice hostel with good everything and great staff. Compared to downtown this is not a party hostel. You will find people of all ages and a lot of groups travelling through. Breakfast is a bit odd that you only get one bagel one oatmeal and one fruit, but its enough to start the day in the city.

Not the best hostel in the world, but not the worst. Everything is typical of an above average hostel. It is nice they give free pizza and inexpensive pasta on certain days, but you get what you pay for those two foods. Breakfast is small, but included so it is nice. Bathrooms are convenient and the hostel is clean. I recommend staying here for a few days, may get bored after a while.

This is a good party hostel for a weekend in Florence. They make Sangria for the guests on Fridays and Saturdays. Sam and Mike are very friendly hosts only if you're friendly with them. There is a severe lack of toilets so showering in the morning was impossible because 35 people to two showers is simply not enough. I would stay for a weekend, but there are better villas in Florence (you get what you pay for).

The security was average with no lockers in the room, but you could lock up your stuff the closest. Beds were good and I would recommend this place.

I thought the hostel was amazing especially when it comes to customer service. They are patient and understanding even though they are always working hard. It made me feel like home even in the midst of the city. This is the best hostel I've stayed at thus far.

Very clean and the location was great. The staff seemed a bit disorganized when I checked in and throughout the trip. Such as watching tv on the couch while I was staying seemed a bit strange instead of working.
