Cold shower, no toilet paper in the bathroom. The only good thing was the air conditioner. The location is convenient but it's VERY loud at night until about 2am.

Nice room with good atmosphere and near the beach
I stayed there for three nights. The shared room is bigger that I expected and clean. There are many plants in the hotel so that I could be relaxed so much. But I am a little bit worried about the security system. The door is always open so we need to keep the valuables with us all the time. Overall, it is a nice hostel for backpackers.
This hostel was very nice and roomy! Limited bathrooms and showers but very clean. Fully loaded kitchen and awesome rooftop terrace. Great happy hour right across the street. The owners were super friendly and very willing to help with travel plans and activities. I would definitely stay here again!
I think I came in the off season because I didn't get to meet this infamous "Christian" everyone speaks of. However, I really enjoyed my stay there. The front desk girl waited for me to get there (really late) and was very sweet and they guy who replaced her was as well. It was a little quiet around the place, but I managed to meet a few people there to hang out with and have some fun. The cold shower is the only thing I'll gripe about, but I guess this is all a part of roughin' it. The location can't be beat, and the convenience of having a little liquor store right under us and an ATM next door was a godsend.
Had an amazing time staying at the hostel! Christian was a great host that never let the party die! Be warned, this isn't a great place to quietly sit reading books, but if you want to see what Tamarindo is about, I highly recommend. Very clean, great location, and amazing people will bring me back again as soon as I possibly can! Just need a little time to let my body recover :p
When I walked in the door I was greeted by the owner Christian. He seemed like a regular guy, but after getting to know him I realized how nice he was. He treated the guests not as customers but as friends, so you can imagine that his staff must be nice too.
I met a lot of people traveling alone, and the place was like a party. There was a girl bartending, people were playing music and they were even singing along.
Drink coffee? They brew it complimentary, and it's the best I've had in Costa Rica.
Staying at this hostel was awesome! We were right in the middle of tamarindo and steps from the beach. It is definitely a party hostel and will keep you up late if you are not liking for that bring ear plugs! Everyone was super friendly and flexible with our travel schedule!
The hostel was very clean, great area, friendly staff and fun! Gets very noisy but to be expected staying at a hostel. The staff was super friendly and helpful. Walking distance to everything.
Owner Christian mucho hospitable & great energy. Nice decor with large comfortable lounge to meet others. Good kitchen off lounge. Two minutes to awesome beach with grocery, bars,restaurants, taxi & public bus transportation right there.
No complaints ! The staff was more than helpful with everything we need, great atmosphere ! Can't wait to come back and see the hostel after all the renovations !
This was our first time staying at a hostel. We ended up extending form 1 night to 5. It is conveniently located close to the bus stop, shops, restaurants, market, and clubs. The beach is just across the street. There is daily housekeeping services keeping all areas neat and tidy. Fellow guests mingle with each other sharing their stories. Most became good friends almost like family. This is a gem!
Central location close to everything in town including the beach. Management and owners very friendly and welcoming. Clean, secure, good value for money. Super easy way to ease into your Tamarindo experience.

Seul point positif : l emplacement
L hôtel est très bien situé mais il y a énormément de bruits avec les 2 rues qui l entourent et le manque d insonorisation!!! Les lits sont vraiment pas confortables!!! A choisir que si vous êtes intéressés que par le lieu de l hôtel
