The owner was marvelous. He gave lots of great recommendations for several activities and does not want to sell tours like lots of others. Just perfect!!! This made our trip perfect and I highly recommend the hostel for everyone who goes to La Fortuna. The rooms were clean and we had a nice balkony to sit outside. It is a great hostel to get to know others.

Amazing social hostel with beautiful common area. There are also tables with sockets for when you want to work. The beds have curtains so you are not too bothered when you want to sleep and others are awake, as well as sockets. Wonderful garden with free gym. Also free coffee in the morning. Whatsapp group that helps socialize and plan trips together. The location is not in the city center, but remember you'll likely use car or Uber to move around, so it doesn't really matter. There still is a grocery store and a couple of restaurants in the area. The center is just 10 minutes walking distance.

Diego, the staff member at Poshtel Arsenal, truly made my stay exceptional. From the moment I arrived, he went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and help me navigate my Costa Rican adventure. His expertise was invaluable – he not only guided me through transportation options from San Jose but also assisted me in booking shuttles and recommending tours. The hostel itself is fantastic, with a welcoming atmosphere that stands out from other accommodations I experienced in Costa Rica. A highlight was definitely the heated pool, which provided a perfect relaxation spot after a day of exploring. The overall vibe of the place is warm, inviting, and social – exactly what you want in a great hostel. If you're traveling to Costa Rica and looking for a memorable, comfortable, and helpful accommodation, Poshtel Arsenal is an absolute must-stay. Diego and the team will make sure your visit is nothing short of amazing!

All hostels in Fortuna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
