I have used Kaps Place 2 times in the last 10 months and they have been wonderful. Their prices are very inexpensive, they have very friendly staff and the breakfast is great. It's not meant to be a "Hilton", but if your traveling on a budget, I HIGHLY reccommend Kaps Place!

Stayed here before going on a tour of Costa Rica and liked it so much, I stayed again at the end of the tour. Very quick to respond to emails. Very helpful when I had a problem with my onward flight. Lovely quiet guesthouse with the rooms brightly painted in funky colours, lots of potted plants and small garden areas... More

Kaps is a very pretty, clean hostel with friendly staff and guests. They have a great breakfast included and the rooms are very comfortable. The wifi works well too. The staff is very helpful with directions around town, etc. It is a pleasant 10 minute walk to the city center and pedestrian boulevard, with some nice parks on the way.
