Book only one night needed to be closed to the airport prior to leaving Costa Rica. I arrived too early to check in so I left my backpack in the storage and went sightseeing. Rooms were cleaned however my issues was with the cleanliness of the bathrooms I wish they were cleaner . Shower’s didn’t have any hooks or shelves and I didn’t have anywhere to but my stuff other then the floor. I found a very cockroach in the shower which was also gross. Bathrooms could definitely be cleaner and furniture could be less broken done. Definitely more on the budget friendly side.

Not Bad
It was fine for the price. Room was dirty but nothing I couldn't handle. Staff is friendly. A restaurant is located inside the establishment.

I booked this hostel just to freshen up before a long flight. It’s not centrally located, but it was close to my previous hotel so it worked out. The receptionist wasn’t very welcoming, and there was no shampoo or soap, you have to walk a bit to buy your own. Towels are available if you leave an ID. I booked a 4-bed dorm but got put in a 6-bed one—not a big deal since I wasn’t staying long. The room was hot, and even though a window was open, it didn’t help much. It’s fine for a quick stop, but not ideal for a longer stay.
