Ich habe eine Nacht in diesem Hostel verbracht und es war in Ordnung. Die Dusche mit der Toilette war sauber. Die Zimmer waren auch in Ordnung, allerdings gibt es keine Schränke oder einen Safe unterm Bett, wo man sein Gepäck verstauen kann. Allerdings bietet dieses Hostel eine Gepäckverwarung an und ist super. Das Frühstück ist typisch Costarikanisch. Das Personal war super super lieb. Das Zimmer konnte man außerdem von innen mit einem Riegel verschließen, aber nur wenn alle auf dem Zimmer sind ;)
La experiencia fue excelente, la atencion es excelente, al igual que el personal que lo atiende verdaderamente la pase muy agradable, me senti colo en casa
