Seul point positif : l emplacement

L hôtel est très bien situé mais il y a énormément de bruits avec les 2 rues qui l entourent et le manque d insonorisation!!! Les lits sont vraiment pas confortables!!! A choisir que si vous êtes intéressés que par le lieu de l hôtel

Terrible except for the A/C

Cold shower, no toilet paper in the bathroom. The only good thing was the air conditioner. The location is convenient but it's VERY loud at night until about 2am.

Nice room with good atmosphere and near the beach

I stayed there for three nights. The shared room is bigger that I expected and clean. There are many plants in the hotel so that I could be relaxed so much. But I am a little bit worried about the security system. The door is always open so we need to keep the valuables with us all the time. Overall, it is a nice hostel for backpackers.

très bien

Bon hostel avec un bel espace lounge. Chambre propre et personnel gentil. Le seul hic c'est qu'un arbre habitre des centaines d'oiseaux directement à côté de l'hostel. On s'est levé à 5h00 AM tous les matins à cause des cris (hurlements) d'oiseaux... Domage pcq le reste est très bien.

Wow!

Cet hostel était parfait pour le prix! Au milieu de la ville de Tamarindo avec toutes les commodités autour (restaurants, pharmacie, épicerie, service de lavage), à 2 min de marche de la plage. Chambre propre, air climatisé dans la chambre, eau chaude. Terrasse avec hamacs et tables très conviviale! Très bonne expérience!

The best located hostel in Tamarindo

All you need is at a few meters from the hostel. Restaurants, the beach, bank, the supermarket, etc.

Would warmly recommend!

I stayed here for two weeks, and i have never been this happy with a hostel, the staff was wonderful, the hostel was cleaned every day and the air-condition worked well (Tamarindo has frequent blackouts and the water turns off sometimes, but that is not the hostels fault of course, you just have to deal with it, it does not go on for very long). The staff helped me by booking shuttle and surf lessons, they have towels and padlocks that you can borrow for a deposit and the beds are comfortable! I would recommend this place for anyone that likes to meet new people, wants to live in central Tamarindo for a reasonable price and wants to learn the meaning of "Pura Vida"!

Awesome Hostel

This hostel was very nice and roomy! Limited bathrooms and showers but very clean. Fully loaded kitchen and awesome rooftop terrace. Great happy hour right across the street. The owners were super friendly and very willing to help with travel plans and activities. I would definitely stay here again!

We took a private room for 2 persons. The room was really clean and confortable. Nice common area with hamac. Alessandro was a great host helping us booking some activities that we wanted to do. Only weak point was ants all over the kitchen because not everyone in the hostel were cleaning up there stuff. There is a security gard at night so we were feeling really secure. I would definitly recommande that place we had a great time and met really nice person there.

Perfect stay

I think I came in the off season because I didn't get to meet this infamous "Christian" everyone speaks of. However, I really enjoyed my stay there. The front desk girl waited for me to get there (really late) and was very sweet and they guy who replaced her was as well. It was a little quiet around the place, but I managed to meet a few people there to hang out with and have some fun. The cold shower is the only thing I'll gripe about, but I guess this is all a part of roughin' it. The location can't be beat, and the convenience of having a little liquor store right under us and an ATM next door was a godsend.

Best party in Tamarindo!!

Had an amazing time staying at the hostel! Christian was a great host that never let the party die! Be warned, this isn't a great place to quietly sit reading books, but if you want to see what Tamarindo is about, I highly recommend. Very clean, great location, and amazing people will bring me back again as soon as I possibly can! Just need a little time to let my body recover :p

Good times, good people.

When I walked in the door I was greeted by the owner Christian. He seemed like a regular guy, but after getting to know him I realized how nice he was. He treated the guests not as customers but as friends, so you can imagine that his staff must be nice too. I met a lot of people traveling alone, and the place was like a party. There was a girl bartending, people were playing music and they were even singing along. Drink coffee? They brew it complimentary, and it's the best I've had in Costa Rica.
