Overall a decent hostel to stay for few nights. But they still can improve a lot. A small thing like free water refill is an example to improve

Stayed 2x i liked it so much!
I stayed at Costa Rica Guesthouse twice - the beginning and end of my solo trip because i liked it so much! The location was great for walking to local attractions and driving to the airport. The free parking was perfect. The staff was great and super helpful and the room was spacious!
