Staff were friendly & the turnaround time for laundry was great. 4 hours - it smelt amazing & it was dry; something I’ve struggled with in hot/humid places, usually come back feeling damp. There were lockers but there was no key for the dorm room which was left open & accessible to all. There were also gates to the hostel & car park area if you have a car but they can just be pushed open. The kitchen was a bit run down & I wouldn’t want to cook in there. Wifi worked well, beds averag...

El Hostal Río Danta es, sin duda, uno de los lugares más bonitos que he conocido en La Fortuna. Desde el momento en que llegué me sentí muy a gusto. El lugar es muy acogedor, está sumamente limpio, ordenado y bien cuidado en cada detalle.Además, cuenta con muchas comodidades que hacen la estadía aún mejor, como gimnasio, aire acondicionado y espacios muy agradables para descansar. Todo está muy completo y pensado para que los huéspedes se sientan cómodos, y el personal es muy coodiale...

Good and affordable hostel overall! I stayed in two different room and I’d stay stay away from the 4 bed (on Hostelworld it says it’s 6 but just look at the photos). The other room was really nice! The kitchen is well equipped and the workers are lovely. The bathrooms do smell like pickled vegetables tho

We paid for a private room with a shared bathroom, and we got a small room with a window facing the parking lot and smoke area that doesnt close. We could hear people until about midnight, and then noises throughout the night. The showers were dirty and there was no hot water. The kitchen was pretty mediocre as well. Our friend paid half of what we did for a bunk room and was given a private room with a private bathroom, shower, and ac.

a really cosy place. Had some issues with overbooking but that's common in the area due to old systems. Other than that, had a nice time. Just a short walk from the centre.

Très bon établissement, une cuisine super bien équipée, les lits étaient très confortables… mais la salle de bain n’était pas toujours très propre.

The hostel wasn’t very sociable. Decent location. The bathroom in my dorm was filthy when I arrived and they didn’t clean it for 2 days until I asked them to.

Overall clean hostel, nothing more to be honest. Not the greatest location (10 mins to City Centre) and the rooms and Common area were pretty old, used and dark.

Great location, loved the curtains for the bunk beds. The gym was great, also a secret cozy seating area above the gym. Hostel had a funny smell and it had an awkward layout. Other than that good for the price.

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed in. The gym is basic but exists. The kitchen is very well equipped. There’s a small river that is great to relax while listening to. Rooms have A/C and fans. Little further from town but it’s so peaceful and the walk is barely noticeable. Two or three songs and you’ve walked into town.

Great to have a gym in a hostel especially for this price. It’s small but everything you need! Well equipped kitchen. Beds were very private and the rooms spacious. Friendly and helpful staff too. Only downside is it’s quite far out of town.

Great place! A bit far from town, about 10-15 minutes. The kitchen is super well equipped, you'll find everything and more to make pretty much any food. Super clean, the rooms and showers were cleaned daily, so was the kitchen. The room it nice, not too small, private shower and bathroom. But no hot water, it can get kinda chilly at night so that was a bummer. When I was there it was pretty quite, no activities and most people hiked all day and chilled in the evening. Overall nice hostel.
