Very old woman working there was very rude and unhelpful. Asked to leave our suitcases there for a few hours after check out, (we were happy to pay) she threw a fit about it saying no hostels offer that, what a nutcase. “Included breakfast” was literally an old banana in a shower cap??

This was an okay hostel. During our time in Costa Rica it was definitely our least favourite. The bathrooms were small and had no shelves or room to put your clothes, towel or toiletries while you shower. The kitchen also lacked tools to cook, there weren’t any forks. The rooms had small storage and very small fridges, not enough for 8 people to share. The photos online are of the privates not the dorms. Though they did have security and the ac was turned in at night
