Lock in a great price for Hostel Casa de Lis – rated 9.2 by recent guests!

to get started.

The staff were excellent and seemed to go the extra mile to make sure you have an excellent stay. They recommended going on the Cafe Vinas coffee tour, which is an absolute must.

Duncan, Canada

Casa de Lis is perfectly located, right in the center of Turrialba. We stayed in a private room, which was spacious, very clean and had its own bathroom. Although it was a little more expensive than other private rooms we stayed in during our time in Costa Rica, it was certainly the one with best value for money. It has the quality standards of a hotel while having the advantages of a hostel like a shared kitchen, social vibe and plenty of information about tours and the area around Turrialba.

Juultje, Netherlands

Staff on reception were very welcoming, the room met our requirements perfectly. Rooms were well appointed, clean and obviously cared for. Location was superb near the town centre with ample free parking nearby.

Lockster, United Kingdom

This hostel is definitely a backpacker's dream and my best hostel in Costa Rica so far. Everything is clean and new, and you can see that the owner has thought about every little detail to make your stay comfortable: hooks and shelves in the rooms/bathrooms, space to put your luggage, plenty of electric plugs in the dorms, personal light for each bed...you can also find tons of (very detailed and accurate!) information on public transportation to continue your journey in Costa Rica and everything about what there is to see around. There are great common spaces: kitchen, a roof terrace and a very nice garden. And wifi was working really well. They can book a rafting tour for you with a good company : I did that and it was great, I really loved it ! I totally recommend adding Turrialba in your itinerary and stay in this hostel a couple of nights during your stay in Costa Rica :)

Pauline, France

Hostel gives good overview of possible activities and supports tour booking. Big shared kitchen with all you need. Cool garden and nice rooftop terrace. Very close supermarket. Rafting was fun (80 dollars).

Michael, Germany

I loved the staff, really helpful and friendly. The hostel is really well maintained. Two different outside seating areas. View of volcano Turrialba from roof terrace and hammocks, and it throws up ashes every three weeks or so. Well equipped kitchen in good repair. Location is ten minutes walk from bus terminal and town and supermarkets are 2 minutes away. Lovely cat called Pepper. The private room I had was compact and perfect and rivaled some hotels I've stayed at.

Alex, United Kingdom

The room was great. It is really big and the bathroom was great. We even had a little balcony overlooking the garden.

Kimberli, United States of America

This place is great, convenient location, comfortable and staff was very friendly and helpful!

Sara, United States of America

Nice balcony with mountain views, big beds with own reading lights

Malin, Germany

The place is very clean, well organized and decorated. The descriptions are accurate, I.e. we chose a small room but as all the niceties like bedside lights and tables we there it was super. The staff are very helpful. The rooftop terrace was a lovely place to have breakfast. They provided secure parking even though they only have one spot. I’d go again without any hesitation.
