The hostel is nice and well kept. AC and wifi is great! Hostel food and bar is a bit pricey, but food was great! Bike rental on premise and close to other beaches and restaurants. Staff was super nice too. Definitely recommend!

There is a lot to do in puerto viejo. Different restaurants and a market not far. Playa 506 is directly on the beach which is great and it’s beautiful. Located near other hostels which is nice. Everything is walkable, or you can rent a bike, or scooters, or taxi. I like that the hostel had a restaurant/ bar very combined when other places in town were not open as early.

Mixed reaction

Posted Feb. 15, 2021 on Hotels
First the great part: the beach is right there and its just gorgeous. And the dogs were adorable. There is a community kitchen so you can cook and the atmosphere is nice. The not-so-good: our room was very stuffy and had a foul smell. When we asked the unconcerned receptionist she said there were no more rooms available. The blurb promised free parking and housekeeping. The parking was public parking on the side of a busy street and the housekeeping evidently occurs in between guests.And my husband got a beer and was charged $5 which is a lot for a place with a sand floor. We did have fun though. The room, mattress and pillows werent nice but the beachside setting surely is.

Ich habe gefragt ob es möglich wäre, dass ich mir am Abreisetag schon etwas früher als die Frühstückszeiten sind, ein Frühstück to go zusammenstellen darf. Am nächsten Tag hat die Küchenfrau mir ein mega Frühstückspaket überreicht! Reis mit Bohnen/Omlett mit Brötchen/Wassermelone und eine Banane. Mega! :) Das war mein Frühstück & Mittagessen weils so viel war :)

A fun inexpensive place to stay right on the beach. The food and drink is great. It was at the end of the off season so it was quiet and the restaurant/bar was closing a bit earlier than normal but they were very accommodating staying open until everyone was taken care of. The hostel can arrange various tours. I stayed there specifically as it was a good base to take a few day trip into Panama.

Piece of beach heaven

Posted Nov. 24, 2018 on Hotels
Best hostel I stayed at in Costa Rica, hands down. Right off the beach, friendly staff, privacy curtains for your bunk, bathrooms located outside of the room so no one is disturbing anyone else in the room at random hours, and close to the best parts of PV. It’s a bit of a far walk from downtown but I personally didn’t care much for the main downtown area. Biggest downside was there were random times that water would be shut off but that only affected me once. The vibe is so great here and it makes me think back fondly to my time in Costa Rica. Also - BEST BREAKFAST included by a hostel. Lunch/dinner menu was excellent as well.
