Stayed here 2 nights in dorms (only 3 beds!), the place is clean, has a nice kitchen and good wi fi and computers for guests. Price was ridiculously cheap for costa rica - only 7USD with breakfast! The owner is really nice and accommodating and he will get you the best price for the shuttle to la fortuna.

I stayed here for 2 nights, the location is good and a five minute walk from town down a dirt road. The rooms are small but functional with a reasonable shower and comfy bed. Breakfast is provided in the morning. Only negative is that there are no less than 7 notices in the room regarding tours that the hostel offers.... More

We had a private room with a small double and bunk beds facing the main road side with a private bathroom. It was very clean, comfortable but a tight squeeze. There was good water pressure and hot water (except on the last night where the water was lukewarm). It is a 5 minute walk to town to pick up groceries... More

I stayed in the dorm for 3 nights and I really enjoy my stay. I was a bit annoyed when they moved my stuff to another dorm when I was out without asking me first, but other than that, I am very satisfied with this place. The dorm was very clean and roomy. There are shelves in the room to... More

I spent a week there by myself, as I needed a quiet place to complete some on-line education and needed reliable wi-fi. My private ensuite room was small, but functional, with comfy bed and lots of hot water in the clean bathroom. Perched on the side of the mountain, the views are spectacular and yet it's an easy walk into... More

Great hostel, very cosey, good simple breakfast that included pineapple , watermelon , bread and jam. Rooms were very clean and we had a great view of the rain forest. A little minus- we were there when weather was a little windy and there was a lot of noise from the roof.

Very good place to stay in Santa Elena. For 7$ dorm rooms including breakfast (toasts, jam and fruit), all day coffee and internet+wifi, good value for money. Hostel is down town close to everything. The owner is extremely friendly, helpful and able to give you many information what to do (even top advice you on free stuff to do) but... More

This hostel is one of the best we have stayed in so far on our trip through Central - and South America. We paid $ 25 and we got a nice room including breakfast, free coffee and the best common kitchen ever! The kitchen has an amazing view with great equipment, a good fridge and it's very clean.

My husband and I stayed here for 3 nights for our honeymoon. We had a private room that overlooked Santa Elena and the Golfo de Nicoya. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with booking excursions around the area. They don't pressure you to book anything, but are always available to assist you with any questions.

I stayed here for two nights, and this was easily my favorite hostel I stayed at in Costa Rica. My room was everything I needed it to be, and the bathroom was very clean with plenty of hot water for the showers.
