Exactly what I was looking for, did the job can’t ask for much more really. Pool could’ve been slightly colder although I only went in it at the heat of the day

located very centrally to museums and some eateries. if you want to hit the museo nacional, the museo del oro, etc. this is the perfect place! reasonably quiet, clean, with a friendly environment, and the in-house restaurant is super authentic and solid.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I went to check in at 830pm and the staff told me to come back in 30.minutes because they were chatting and bothered. The room was dirty and sheets had crumbs. I asked about a towel for showering and they said i needed to give my id to hold. I never got a towel. I think thst should be minimum..

We had the Twin Bedroom in the basement. It was big enough for two people, but a new Mattress would be nice. The price was good, what the hostel offers. So for a short stay for a few days to arrive to Costa Rica we can recommend it.
