This place was a great stay while in la fortuna. Many other options in town are pricey for backpackers and travelers on a budget but this place is a great value and the owner is very hospitable!

At first, I was a little iffy about staying at the hostel, but I grew to love blackout hostel along with the wonderful staff. The kitty was an added bonus. The only downside was no hot water, and no AC. Other than that, it was in a good location, and they had a car that the staff used to bring us on short drives to where we needed to go which was very nice and helpful. I feel I should also give a huge shoutout to one of the staff members, Tony. He was very helpful and super sweet.

Lena was a wonderful host and really made me feel at home right away. The room was simple but adequate and the location is phenomenal. This is not a 5-star resort, but the bed was comfortable and the room was clean. If you’re looking for a fun, laid back vibe with a really convenient location and super fair price this is your spot!
