Loved that the owner is amazingly friendly and helpful, he did a great job helping us get around town and set up our excursions. Everything was clean as well.

We had a private room with a queen sized bed and a shared bathroom on the first two nights and a private bath on the last two nights. Everything was clean. The owners are very nice and helpful. We had a continental breakfast every morning --- coffee, toast, jam, fresh fruit, juices and eggs we could cook ourselves in the kitchen (my favorite part!!!). This was included in the price. There was also a huge windy patio upstairs that I loved. I felt 100% safe and comfortable there. It was a couple blocks from the main street in town. I would suggest a pair of ear plugs because the streets are VERY noisy because of all the motorbikes. It's very windy in the mountains so the rooms are all very cool at night. Great place!!!

The people who own it are very friendly. Loved the private patio and room was very comfortable. Showers were hot which was great because it was quite cold and windy in Monteverde. It was also a bonus to have free internet available. We had booked a tour ourselves and it had gotten mixed up, the owners stepped in and arranged alternate transportation for us gratis. Also very convenient that you can book over the internet and pay by credit card, without an additional fee being charged. Quite unusual for Costa Rica and a real bonus to be able to arrive knowing you have a place to stay.

The hostel owner David is amazing. He speaks perfect english, plays the guitar, and he calls his uncle to come jumpstart your car when you leave the headlights on.

Staff was excellent, location, quirky

The upstairs terrace is a terrific place to kick back with a drink after a grueling hike (and I think they sell bottles of wine on site). The owners were delightful and very helpful. Ah, and finally... the showers are wonderfully hot (good in a place as cool as St.Elena).
