Great place and great location. The staff is lovely, especially George who made the atmospher warm and friendly. Everyone is always happy to help and the place is clean. They offer lots of activities and tours, unfortunately the hostel doesn’t organise some free activities like other sites do. The only free events are charades or trivia nights. I've attended a triva night, and it was super fun, Catalina made the evening interesting and engaging.

We loved staying at this hostel! Best bathrooms on our trip, and most friendly staff. Everything is kind of damp, but that’s just La Fortuna. Privacy curtains on the beds were a cool addition.

Such a charming hostel, located close to many activities. The hostel was very clean and the staff and volunteers were very friendly, accomodating and always happy to help book/recommend fun activities. They also had two really cute small dogs.
