There is nobody there to let me in. I felt a little scared at 1:30 in the morning.

Area feels unsafe, it is very loud. My dorm bed did not have an electricity outlet. I was sent info about breakfast which did not exist. Staff did not seem accommodating.

If you are willing to cross a busy road, it is a 10min walk to the airport.

We were a bit earlier than expected and it took a phonecall to get access through the security gate, the doorbell wasn't answered. The room was very small.

Very convenient for the airport. Everything was very clean. Small kitchen to prepare food.

Very clean and so close to the airport. 5 minutes by cab.

We really looked forward to the announced breakfast, which sadly wasn’t available during our stay.

Proximity to the airport, staff was really nice and for $5 they taxi you to the airport. The room and facilities were absolutely basic, which is considerably fair for the price.

Booking had the rooms described incorrectly, or confusingly, and we ended up in a room that did not have what we wanted (private bathroom, air conditioning). That room had the remains of someone else's food in the trash can--fried chicken skin and bones--and hair on the pillows. As far as pricing, that room with a shared bathroom was pretty cheap, sub-$40. But the food trash and the hair didn't leave a great impression. We ended up paying double to upgrade to the only room with a private bathroom. It was small but comfortable, though it only had one outlet in the entire room. Furthermore, it opened to the parking lot, and noise from other guests outside the door could be loud at times. Overall it met our needs, but I don't recommend it for anyone looking for a more hotel-like stay. The excellent reviews must surely come from people who stay in multi-bed hostel rooms as a norm. Because of our dog and our personal needs, that is not something we can do comfortably.

The location to the airport cannot be beat. It would be walking distance if not for the highway, but it takes only 2-3 minutes in a car to get to the airport entrance.

When complaining because of a very noisy family next door with children screamning and running arond the hallway and entering our room and the Mother and father yelling and talking very loud at night, the staff adressed them with no luck and when asking for a diffrent room we were told not possible eventhoug there were a lot of empty rooms. The toilet on the first floor was broke and the staff did nothing before the next day and just put a sign with out of order on the door.

Located quite near the airport. Staff was friendly and tried their best.

A part of the window was completely broken so we could hear the planes so much louder when we were sleeping. The shower didn’t have any hot water

The hostel was very close to the airport so it was very easy to leave. The beds had a lot of blankets so comfortable

Stayed in July 2024

The street could seem a little dodgy if you arrive on night. It’s not very clean. Our shower didn’t have hot water, or at least I wasn’t able to make it work

It’s near to the airport and it has private parking

Location

Stayed in July 2024

Very clean but the bathrooms smell like an old latrine. Lady at the front desk was condescending and seemed put out to help me. The mattress was hard as a rock. I think they should have provided me with a bath towel. Their food truck was closed during my entire stay. I was told that a taxi to the airport would be $5 but he charged me $6 and was rude to me.

Very close to the airport.

Stayed in May 2024

The bedding was frayed and filled with holes. I know this is an extremely low budget hostel, but I was icked out by what a bad condition the bedding was in.

It’s a good location if you need a place to crash for the night before a flight.

Stayed in May 2024

I think it was a repurposed office. There was not a proper way to fully close the window(or we couldnt find it) in our room. That’s why it was loud (near airport) and I couldnt sleep. I also didnt like the smell of the bathroom.

The location is really good if you need to be around the airport early. The lady who was managing the place was super nice and helpful.

They advertised breakfast at their food truck. Food truck was closed so I had to walk into town to get breakfast. Not many gathering areas to meet people.

Good location close to the airport. Felt safe. Very clean.

This is my go-to spot whenever I’m coming or going to Costa Rica. It’s location is minutes from the airport, always clean, quiet, with helpful staff. I have stayed many times over the years and it remains consistent throughout. Thanks Toucan Hostel 🙏🏽💕

I thought the $5 cost for a taxi to the airport was already charged when I checked in. Apparently it was not. Or, I was charged twice.

Convenient location to airport.
