Great position for beach and restaurants
Pleasant enough, although I would recommend spending an additional £20 staying somewhere really nice and there's lots in the town, or £30 less and roughing it more. It just doesn't offer very good value for money. Excellent location and Staff

Value for money and great location!
I only spent 1 night in this hostel and I strongly recommend it. Located in the best area (must go to Bakery!) in Santa Teresa, it is clean and has a big functional kitchen. The girl at the reception is very nice, friendly and helpful as she helped me finding a way to San Jose through hurricane Otto.

Moldy.
Overall a mediocre experience, tho not a bad option for the slow season! Right in between the best taco shack and the bakery for good coffee amd breakfast/lunch plates. However, the room was pretty horrible. It reeked of mold and our pillows were extremely damp/moldy. Not really much you can do beacuse its the wet season, and as soon as i asked for replacement pillows the staff replaced them. The smell in the room was hardly bareable and now that weve left weve had to wash everything we own. The grounds are nice enough, not too bad for short term stay.

Enkelt boende, mycket prisvärt. Bodde här en natt, personalen mycket behjälpliga. Bokade surflektioner via dom, mycket bra instruktör. Väldigt bra läge och fräscht hostel. Finns inget att klaga på.

Tranquilo y super limpio
Habiatación con aire, hostel tranquilo. Estuvimos en una habitacion privada super cómoda. Jose, la recepcionista una genia que aconsejó muy bien las excursiones y los lugares donde ir a comer. Un infaltable: hacer el tour a Isla Tortuga!
