About
The standout is a free shuttle to the free hot springs, sign up in the morning, plus a free breakfast guests rank as the best hostel gallo pinto and coffee they found in Costa Rica. It's central and social, with helpful staff who book tours and onward transport. Rooms are basic and dorm bathrooms can feel crowded, and the water heaters are tankless, so turn the flow down low to get it hot.

This hostel is in a super great location, close to the centre of town and loads of restaurants and shops. Also they run a free shuttle service to the free hot springs which you just have to talk to them in the morning to book. This is a wonderful service and something I haven't seen in any other hostels. We found this hostel to be super friendly, the staff were friendly but the hostel was also a really social environment. The breakfast was delicious, gallo pinto with eggs, fruit, toast, and juice. This was a great way to start the day, better than any other hostel breakfasts I've had so far! The only thing I would mention about this hostel is that there is only 1 bathroom between 10 people in the dorm we stayed in, this combined with the fact that it is very humid in La Fortuna meant that the bathroom never really felt clean. Overall though this hostel was great value for money.
Nice hostel, helpfuls emlloyes, gave me many tipps where to go, what to do, how to avoid being scammed or to pay too much. The location is in a quit street, breakfast is good and the area of the hostel is beautiful. The guys at the receptiob were eager to help me, when I had questions or when I had to aks something again, because I was unsure. Great hostel meet a lot of cool people there, can reccomend. But dont expect something luxurios, its a hostel for backpacker.
Choza was an awesome place to stay in La Fortuna. I was here for three nights and thoroughly enjoyed my stay. The free breakfast was delicious with the best rice and bean dish I’ve had compared to all the other hostels I stayed at in Costa Rica. It also had the best coffee of all the hostels I stayed at. I was in a mixed dorm above the kitchen so unfortunately everyday at 6:30am I was woken up by the staff as they started prepping the breakfast. If I could repeat I’d probably book myself a private dorm next time. The hostel was a formally vibe and I was able to make friends quite easily as they have the communal event at 1pm everyday which is visiting the free hot springs. Hope to come back one day.
