Pension Santa Elena

Super Unterkunft in Monteverde!

It was okay to stay there. But my first room was terrible it was next to the share bathroom and not really a window or anything so it was kinda feeling like a prison! I changed my room and it was better a bit. I guess the rooms outside of the main house are really good. However for 2-3 days it’s okay. Be careful the main road is next to the pension so it’s super loud!!

Perfect - no notes! Actually maybe just one. It would be good to offer more options for the breakfast so it’s not the same every day but that’s all.

Las habitaciones privadas estándar dejan mucho que desear, No son cómodas las camas/almohadas y no hay ventilador ni A/C. La ubicación del lugar es buena y tiene la ventaja de tener estacionamiento para el auto. El desayuno es muy bueno, tienen 2 opciones. Salvo por la habitación, lo demas esta bastante bien.

Was good for a few nights. The rooms has very thin walls though so you hear everything that’s going on in the hallway and kitchen or when cars or motorcycles pass. So you might want some earplug if you want a good night sleep.

Overall nice hostel with friendly staff, good facilities, and a nice common area. My only complaint was that our room was right next to the kitchen so it can be noisy and the wind was very loud at night (creaky). There are many other rooms that I think would be less noisy though.

This property was great value for our money! The location is perfect, the staff is super kind and informative, and the facilities are nice as well. The breakfast served was delicious and nutritious. If I come back to the area, I’m definitely staying here again!

Insane value, not “social” but that’s Monteverde

Excellent place to stay, it's more of a hotel than a hostel. Three of us stayed in the 6 person room and it was a beautiful room and bathroom with toiletries included in the bathroom. The location was fantastic, the beds were comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms weren't too soundproof but this wasn't really an issue (the strong winds from outside was noisiest!). The free breakfast included was also great. I strongly recommend this hostel!

Ideal location with a delicious breakfast (choices of pinto with eggs or granola and yogurt). Smallish room (basic private) but perfect for a couple nights. Also provided towels and body wash/shampoo. Well equipped shared kitchen that was constantly clean.

This was a practically perfect place! The staff are very helpful with answering questions, and the included breakfast is actually filling and hearty enough for a morning of exploring. The room was spacious and clean, with excellent hot water in the shower. There is also free coffee/tea and ample seating in the common areas. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking to have a private room on a budget.

Good place, very clean, less social interaction

Hostel is nice and very easy going, the staff were super friendly! The breakfast was great and the location was ideal for what we wanted to do. The bed was very very thin and uncomfortable and the kitchen was locked from 9pm with no access at all which could have been made clearer.

Établissement très bien, propre, bien situé, le petit déjeuner est bon. Néanmoins vous pouvez pas avoir votre logement avant l’heure du checking, et prélèvement automatique sur votre compte bancaire de la totalité du montant de votre séjour

It was good value for money. It's maybe a bit too close to everything so you can hear all the road all night. The breakfast was a nice touch in the morning. If I was to come again I would definitrpy change rooms. I was in a closed off room right in the middle of everything with my only window being to the inside of the building right above the sink. The room was in the centre of all the things you wish you wasn't near. I was woken up everyday at 5.45 to inconsiderate people in the kitchen.

great hostel if you are looking for more of a private retreat type vibe. not the most social, but the staff was super friendly and helpful. rooms were clean and pillows were comfortable. there was hot water which was a dream, no AC. only complaint was that the walls were thin so if people near you were talking you could hear their conversation. there is also a little noise from the motorcycles on the road. but i'd stay here again and would recommend to anyone going to monteverde

I can absolutely recommend this hostel! It was very nice and the staff were very friendly. I will definitely come back sometime. Thank you very much!

We really enjoyed the stay. Super clean kitchen with everything you need and free coffee. In a good location in the town with lots of shops/cafes nearby. Staff were helpful and lots of activities on offer through the hostel.

We had a great stay at Pension Santa Elena! It is perfectly placed in the center of town, close to bars and restaurants. We had a private room and it was perfect and very clean. The staff were very helpful throughout our stay and helped us to book tours as well. Would highly recommend!

Bon hostel, début octobre il y avait peu de monde. Il a été difficile de les contacter avant d’y être et tout devait passer par une réservation en ligne. Ça a été peu pratique !
