It is inexpensive and clean. The photos misrepresent the room for 4 with 3 beds. It is a very small house away from the main property. It had a dehumidifier but no ac. It was clean and safe but not really as we expected.

Very clean. Do not get confused or nervous by the name hostel. It is a studio with its own private bathroom and private kitchen. Large room and well stocked kitchen utensils. Service of the staff is excellent.

Cattleya was better than we expected! Our group was exploring Monteverde/Santa Elena for 2 days, and we were provided with a very clean, large private room (including our own mini kitchen and full fridge, in addition to the communal kitchen). The reception area is separate (about 3 min drive) from the rooms, but not inconvenient. There are lots of restaurants nearby. We actually got food from a nearby grocery store and cooked in our room. Overall, amazing price for what you get. It was perfect for our short stay and we would be happy to return!

The studios are very cool. There is an electric burner, blender, and other kitchen appliances to make food. The space is a good size for a family with two queen size beds in each studio. The only downside is how windy it gets each night. The wind truly howls and sounds like a storm (and it’s often that way in this region). I recommend earplugs or something of the sort if you are a light sleeper. Also, they arrange for shuttle service to places, which was nice except I found out that the price of the shuttle was twice the amount I was told at the desk. All in all, it’s a great place to stay, and I’d highly recommend it!

Nice Studio Apartment

Nice two bedroom studio apartment about 200 meters from main hostel building. Managers were exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Only slight negative, really more of a surprise, was that they didn't accept payment via credit card.

Cute modern and simple rooms that accommodated our large family with clean bunk beds and a nice shower. We loved the shred area where we cooked a couple of meals and met people from other countries. The staff was extra helpful and kind. They reaerved the tours for us and answered all our questions.

Great place

Great place to stay to visit Monteverde. It a good deal in this touristic area. The room was clean, so the shared bathroom was. Easy self parking on site and the hotel is walkable for the center of Santa Elena.
