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.

    We loved everything about this hotel. In particular I liked that it was all pedestrianised so the kids could wander about safely. It was great to have hot springs and a pool onsite, plus plenty of wildlife including a sloth mum and baby, lizards and loads of birds. The location was really convenient and we could easily order Ubers to transport us around La Fortuna cheaply. The view of the volcano from our porch was spectacular.

    This is the one and only hostel for La Fortuna and visiting the volcano Arenal + surroundings. Wilson is simply the best host ever! He organized everything and gave us great tips what to do for fun on a budget. The hostel is clean, comfy, has a great kitchen and is quiet. (Budget) Backpackers+Travellers, this is your address! Thank you again, Wilson!!

    The owner Wilson is very enthusiastic and will give you tons of great budget recommendations for the area. There’s a hostel group chat that creates an awesome sense of community. Really great for meeting people and exploring La Fortuna for cheap!

    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!

    It had a great pool, nice hangout areas if it’s not raining. Rooms were basic but did the job and was nice to not have a bunk bed (although ours was the only room without). Great location in the centre of the town. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Generally a spacious and nice hostel.

    great location and priced low like a hostel but you get your own room and bathroom for same budget that most shared accomodations charge. For a last minute place to crash at a budget it was good. Basic but clean and private which is all we needed
