Canton d'Alfaro Ruíz : Auberges de jeunesse

« Staff was kind and friendly but the beds are a little uncomfortable with hard to climb ladders. The sheets kept coming off and the entire bed moved when the top or bottom person shifted on rolled over. The toilet was broken and wouldn’t flush so you had to reach into the top water to lift the flap. We had the room on the outside so in the morning you had to climb out the bedroom window to access the kitchen and common area. »

« Pros: refrigerator, 2nd floor (bars on windows, blinds, and locks on windows/doors), parking, A/C in the bedroom, additional blankets, towels provided, sugar, tea/coffee and basic cooking utensils. Lots of facecloths in the bathroom. Soap dispensers. Geckos (they were cute). Walkable to downtown/restaurants. Kind hosts. Responsive and proactive - replaced towels, and recommended driving through Rio Celeste to get to the location from Liberia airport as it’s a safer roadway. We understood...

« We arrived and the place look abandoned and trashed. It does not exist anymore. No one there, the phones are not answered and we couldn’t stay at this place »

« Nous avons loué les cylindres pour passer un beau moment romantique. Le seul hic aucune belle vu sur volcan. Très déçevant pour cette raison sinon le tout est un hotel classique resort pas d'accès à une cuisine et le resto pas toujours ouvert un peu déçevant »

« La proximité de beaucoup de services. »

« Personnel agréable, endroit sympathique, je recommande !!!! »

« Great hostel situated in a nice neighbourhood, 5 minutes walk from the centre including the supermarkets and bus terminal (the centre is frankly not as pleasant as the suburbs). Rooms have secure key codes, and lockers are situated in the communal kitchen which is large, clean and well equipped. Everything was good. Would recommend. »

« Very nice hostal, large bottom bunks. Nice breakfast »

« Despite being a little mix-up on room type, Adrian (the owner) did all he could to make it right and I had a very pleasant experience. Their hospitality was amazing and the room was comfortable. I had to work one afternoon and the internet worked great. The lounge/common areas were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. The only thing I would recommend is that if you book through a 3rd party (like Hotels.com) to call and confirm your room type in advance. »
