Liked: the staff was very friendly, I forgot to book my shuttle to the airport the night before and they were still very accomodating the next morning (they booked and paid for a taxi to return me to the airport for free). Very clean. It was a very quiet hostel. Very close to the airport.
Disliked: Nothing, I would stay there again.

Liked: All of the above plus convenience to the airport. The free shuttle to the airport.
Disliked: A bit small but that was okay. Some very noisy car alarms going off on the street at night - not the Hostel's fault!

Liked: It was cozy, safe and generally quite. It was pretty clean compared to other hostels I stayed at in Costa Rica. They are very adament about having quiet hours after 11pm.
Disliked: Although they really tried to keep it quiet, the roads were noisy, and people arrived at odd times from the airport. I was woken at 2am when two people arrived from the airport. Like the website warns, be careful with the taxi drivers, they tried to talk me out of staying there even though I had a reservation.
