Reviewer Type: Solo Traveller

Travel Purpose: leisure

Positive: Great location, like two blocks from the beach. Super clean kitchen and nice pool and common areas

Negative: Most hostels in CR let me check in earlier if they had rooms available, but here they were quite strict with the check in time being at 3pm. Also, you can only stay until a certain time on the day of your check out (I think like 2/3pm?), which is weird for a hostel. They'll also only hold your bags in storage until that time. Also, the room was really overridden by big ants which came out at night, and they only turn on the AC in the evening until early morning, so no way to hang out in the room during the day
