Located around 800 metres from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium, the hostel is also 41 km away from Marina Papagayo. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. The hostel is ran by a family who literally take care of you as if you are their family! The best hostel I have stayed in Costa Rica by far! . The location, rooms and facilities were a great place to hangout and chill with other travellers. There was hot showers, a fully fitted kitchen for communal use and the atmosphere was peaceful for a good nights sleep. Perfect location to visit Rincon De La Viejo. I also received free laundry and the kindness overall by the family was beyond words. I will always be eternally grateful for the hospitality thank you .

Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a tour desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property.

The pool was so refreshing, I saw tons of birds and iguana. The people were really friendly, and the kitchen had what you need to cook + some coffee in the morning. I appreciated that it was a little out of the way of the busy part of town, ~a 10 minute walk from the main stuff in town
