Hostel El Pretal

Liberia

Situated in Liberia and with Parque Nacional Santa Rosa reachable within 38 km, Hostel El Pretal features a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Located around 800 metres from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium, the hostel is also 41 km away from Marina Papagayo. Private parking is available on site. The owners were so nice. The taxi they organised for us didn't turn up, so they drove 20km to pick us up in their own car and wouldn't accept any payment. The family apartment was very comfortable and clean. It had essentials such as coffee tea, sugar, salt and oil. Close to supermarkets and walking distance to bus station and restaurants. The firstt load of laundry was free, which was a great bonus. The outside road was a little noisy with music at night, but it was the weekend.
