An incredible value for the money! So far it's the best hostel I've stayed in Costa Rica. The location is great, the amenities, the daily yoga, the beds were comfy. I met so many fun and interesting people at this hostel, ended up extending my stay 3 times😊Had a great stay in La Fortuna

The staff here are the best. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. The owner will go the extra mile to make your stay as good as possible. Comfortable bed, hot shower, and great location that is right in town but off the main streets and quiet. The kitchen is clean and well equipped with everything. Highly recommend staying here. Great value.

First of all, the staff was incredibly friendly and helpful to optimize my stay in La Fortuna straight from the start. Compared to everything else I saw, they offer the best rates for all the tours and guide you along the process. The hostel is at a great location, and looks very cute. My room was just perfect and the bathroom exceeded my expectations! Overall, would definitely come back and would recommend to everybody planning a stay in La Fortuna.

Chris, the owner, is so helpful! he helped me figure out the best tours for my circumstances, and even offered a lower price than any of the tour places around town. the beds are comfortable. some of the dorm rooms even have hot showers (8 bed/ room). there is a swimming pool, restaurant, bar, and hammocks. it’s a great place to meet friends, especially for solo travelers. Saturday nights are bingo nights at the bar. so much fun! it is central, easy to access all the restaurants and stores. there are lockers in the big dorm rooms (8 beds/room), but not in the small dorms (4 beds/room), but did not pose a problem for me.

All hostels in Fortuna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's 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 little more.

    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!
