About
A spotless, family-run Liberia hostel that guests rank near the top, warm hosts who speak excellent English, immaculate shared bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen. The communal relaxation spots are so comfortable people barely use their rooms, and it feels notably safe. Central and walkable to the bus station, cafes, and markets; the lively street can be a touch noisy at night.

4.5 star review! We were able to get the private apartment for one night. Great location for car rental return and an early morning flight out. Sure it’s in a bustling area (completely walkable to cafes and markets) and it can be a little noisy at night - but we slept comfortably and cool. Hospitality was a 5!
I've stayed in Liberia countless times over the years for travel purposes and I'm not sure why I haven't stayed here before. It's clean, cute and quiet. The staff a family running it are all kind/helpful and welcoming. It was close enough to the bus station we walked to it, with my 8 year old son and dragging a suitcase along as well lol. We will be staying here anytime we travel through CR from now on.
Fabulous hostel. Very very clean. The family who run it are super helpful and friendly. The kitchen is beautifully equipped and also very clean. The shared bathrooms are spotless. Plenty of communal sitting areas. All in all a very impressive hostel. I can recommend very highly.
