This industrial strength, tico owned hostel , has been a popular twenty something backpacker hangout in San Jose for years .It is not difficult to see why :it’s smack in the middle of city and comes stocked with a pool, a rooftop restaurant –lounge with stellar views and a combination bar-movie theater furnished with bean bags and a stripper pole. Needless to say, this is a party spot . But the rooms are clean , the mattresses firm and the fresh bathrooms freshly remodeled.

The hostel’s two new “presidential suites” have dreamy views and flat screen TVs.

Plus there is free internet; free phone calls to North America and the bilingual staff can help you arrange luggage storage, onward travel within Costa Rica as well as airport pick up and drop-off in their private van.

Of all the amenities , it is the restaurant in particular, that is a godsend –open until midnight, it serves lip-smacking quesadillas, veggie burritos and what has to be San Jose’s tastiest burgers .

We are a little hostel in Santa Elena, Monteverde, and we´re located on the corner in front of the main super market in town. (Supermercado La Esperanza).

Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve

Private non-profit reserve (not a national park) administered by the Tropical Science Center. There are 6 distinct ecological zones in this reserve. It is called a cloud forest rather than a rain forest because of it’s altitude: the clouds go thru the forest. The canopy is extremely rich with birds, insects, butterfly, and thousands of plants. Great bird watching, Resplendent Quetzal is usually seen in the March-April nesting season. Bring a warm jacket, raingear (a green poncho is just fine) and footwear for trail use. Rubber boots are usually not necessary due to the well-maintained trails.

Whether you are a backpacker looking for waves, or maybe just a pleasant place to get away from it all, this is the spot for you. With its secure tropical garden and a swimming pool you can’t help but feel you are truly in paradise. Minutes walk to a consistent beach break and beautiful swimming beach.

Put simply , this is the number one  hangout for backpackers in San Jose. Traveles swap stories round the pool by day and live it  up in the bar upstair at night.

San José’s most infamous party hostel is reason enough to linger in the capital for a few extra days – everything from the trippy murals and impeccable facilities to the generous perks and attentive service is a class act.

The self-proclaimed ‘San José Party Hostel’ ticks all the boxes. Run by a fun pair of Tico twins, they’ve exclusively employed close friends and family so the place has an extremely close-knit and amiable vibe about it. By day beautiful bodies flirt and frolic in the hostel pool, while at night the rooftop bar and disco-ball-lit dance-floor goes off, as guests chug back superhero-themed cocktails (the fiery guaro-heavy Spiderman is our favourite) and grind away to reggaeton beats. Partying-aside, the hostel is extremely well run and is great for organising excursions and onward trips to other parts of the country.
