About
A budget hostel on route 245 near the Bomba de Osa gas station, well placed between downtown Puerto Jiménez and the road toward Corcovado and the beaches. Guests describe a big, well-equipped kitchen for self-catering, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and clean common areas, with plants that give the place a fresh, peaceful feel. Rooms range from dorms to privates with their own bathroom — though one guest noted no hot water — and the premises are a bit dated, which reviewers say is fair for the price. Marlon, who runs it, is also a guide and has helped guests book last-minute Corcovado trips.

It's a hostel, so the service charge isn't high since we cook for ourselves, but our beds were made up. There are dormitories or rooms with multiple beds. We had a room with a double bed and a single bed for €20 per person with a private bathroom (no hot water). For the area, the price is quite reasonable. The person who runs the hostel is also a guide and can take you to Corcovado National Park. The premises are a bit dated, but again, for the price, I think it's hard to find better. Pura Vida!
I think it's a well-equipped hostel. There's a big kitchen, large rooms, and comfortable beds. The service is excellent, and the areas are clean. I really liked how comfortable the hostel is. Its location is great if you want a place to stay that's close to downtown Puerto Jiménez and also on the way to Corcovado and different beaches. A very well-equipped hostel with a large kitchen, spacious rooms, and comfortable beds. The service is excellent, and the areas are kept clean. I really liked how affordable it is. The location is very good if you're looking for a place close to the town center and on the way to Corcovado and different beaches.
Marlon is a great host! He helped us book our Corcovado National Park excursion at the last minute. He's very accommodating.
