My stay at Ceiba was absolutely incredible, it was by far the cleanest hostel I ever stayed at. I loved waking up to the volcano view every day and I honestly have nothing bad to say about the place, the people you meet as well as the staff are super nice and helpful. The kitchen was very big and had everything we needed, and the beds were a lot more comfortable than anticipated. Overall a great experience and I’m super excited to see what the place will look like once they add all the different amenities they have planned!

An incredible value for the money! So far it's the best hostel I've stayed in Costa Rica. The location is great, the amenities, the daily yoga, the beds were comfy. I met so many fun and interesting people at this hostel, ended up extending my stay 3 times😊Had a great stay in La Fortuna

The staff here are the best. They are friendly and very knowledgeable. The owner will go the extra mile to make your stay as good as possible. Comfortable bed, hot shower, and great location that is right in town but off the main streets and quiet. The kitchen is clean and well equipped with everything. Highly recommend staying here. Great value.

Lena and Tony were excellent hosts and extremely helpful with picking excursions. The place was in a great location and after receiving a fan in the room the temperature was good too.

I booked for two nights but ended up staying four and enjoyed every single day. Rooms are extremely cheap and you get so much in return. Breakfast is good bar is good the staffs is nice and love to chat and help. Having a bar near the pool is fantastic. Booking tours is convenient. We had a problem with one of the transfer companies who canceled the trip without notifying us. It was not the hotel’s fault but they still mitigated the problem as best they could by offering a free room and a breakfast, something that not everyone would do

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
