Everything was perfect ! If you like to stay in a wonderful place, with trees and animals (birds, monkeys, iguanas…) close to the beach and to the waves, to chill in the pool or to drinks some beers with nice people, just go there !! Pura Vida :)

If you're looking for a hostel to instantly feel at home, be close to the beach and learn to surf then look no further. The staff make you feel very much at home, the facilities are great and the surfing lessons are the best. I daresay that there are not many surfing schools in the world better to make progress as a (beginner/intermediate) surfer than by the hand of Marcos and Rudy. They are very dedicated to making you better, teach you the required technique and use video analysis to show you where to improve further. Plus, you will make friends easliy in the laid-back vibe and welcome culture of this hostel

I had a really wonderful stay at ico. I initially booked 3 nights, ended up extending for 2 nights more and wish I could’ve stayed even longer. It’s a small hostel will a great vibe. The staff is absolutely amazing. They’re very kind and helpful. I loved the open air kitchen, there’s plenty of kitchen tools and fridge space. As the hostel is small it’s very easy to meet people and everyone hangs out in the common area in the evening to chat and play games. It’s a social hostel but not party like so you can still sleep well.

The property was close to the beach, they offered a lot of fun activities for opportunities to meet people and the staff were lovely. The rooms were clean and it was not noisy at night. I had a medical emergency and the staff were so helpful and caring in offering to assist me and checking in on me.

The best hostel I have stayed in. Ever. Apart from the perfect location with regards to the beach and supermarket, the atmosphere of the hostel was magical. I formed some long-lasting connections with people all over the globe - it definitely encouraged a strong sense of creating a travelling family! The design of the kitchen and other communal areas made me want to always be lounging around in the space - very spacious and comforting. Beautiful plants everywhere which made the hostel feel peaceful and secluded. The volunteers and owners were another lovely addition I wasn't expecting - genuinely good people (with good taste in music too). I could've spent several months just in this hostel and this area - I never got bored of the vibe.

All hostels in Montezuma

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.

Helpful staff (they helped us book a shuttle to Playa Del Coco), clean facilities, beautiful patio/outdoor areas to hang out, quiet, great location, coffee available in the morning, lots of lines to hang wet towels, clothes and swim suits. Overall a nice spot for the budget traveler.

The hostel is a real old style hostel, don’t expect to come to a 4 star hotel for the price you’re paying. We had a basic simple private room with a shared bathroom, from the room you can hear everything but again it’s a hostel, that’s okay. The structure it’s very tico style. The community inside was really friendly and nice. If you’re looking for a place on a budget in Montezuma and at 1 minute from the center, this is the place to come!

The hosts Gustavo and Regis made me feel very welcome and at ease immediately. The hostel is perfectly located in Rio, whether you like museums, party, beaches, food, walks... The hostel organizes lot of activities like a fun karaoke, so you can mingle easily and meet new people. There are many cool - day or less - trips possible to do, like hikes to magnificent view points. Also the hostel itself is just beautiful, with greenery, cosy terrace, grandeur from the past and still very ready for the 21st century! 10/10 or more!
