Overall a decent hostel to stay for few nights. But they still can improve a lot. A small thing like free water refill is an example to improve

A pleasant stay in comfortable bed. May need a fan of it was hotter. Can't have windows open because of train and traffic noise

I stayed in the co Worker section and was very happy. The bunk was extremely comfy . I used next door at backpackers for pool garden and kitchen area.

It was for flight arrival in evening. The mattress was too hard for me and the shared bathroom needs updating. Ok for one night.

Inspected both beds after checking in and found that the smaller of two mattresses was covered with hundreds of tiny bloodstains from either a current or past bedbug infestation. We immediately left.

I traveled alone to Costa Rica. I had booked the taxi service a week in advance and had a confirmation sent via email, but when I arrived at the airport, no one was waiting for me. I had to call the guesthouse and they immediately sent someone to pick me up. It was about a 15 minute wait time. The hotel staff was very friendly and helped me book tours in advance. They also were very helpful in giving me walking directions. My room was very clean. The shared bathrooms were clean most of the times. Usually if I got in late the bathrooms were a bit dirty. However, I took flip flops and used the shower without problems. They provide soap and towels; all other items must be taken by you. The area looks a bit shady but you can walk without problems. Overall, it was an amazing stay for my solo trip.

This place is fine for a night and for the price. One of the staff members was very helpful and gave us info about buses, the other didn't seem like she wanted to be there or attend to guests at all. The room was fine but the corridor it's was on and room was very dark. The bed was ok but not that comfortable, being able to feel the springs. Place was clean and shared bathrooms had hot water showers. Little seating area in reception to chill in with free tea and coffee. Good location walkable to Barrio Escalante for meals/drinks/coffee.

Everything was excellent, the only problem I noticed was the difficult entrance to the parking lot (even dangerous because of the traffic)

I stayed at Costa Rica Guesthouse twice - the beginning and end of my solo trip because i liked it so much! The location was great for walking to local attractions and driving to the airport. The free parking was perfect. The staff was great and super helpful and the room was spacious!

One of the best hostel I’ve stayed. It’s definitely worth its price.

Property management needs to improve on the water supply maintenance. It is unacceptable that there's no running water to at least get a shower

I liked the vibe at the work station hostel building, it felt spacey enough between rooms so that you almost feel like there’s only a couple of people staying there.
