Amazing hostel. Yes you pay alittle more but it isw well worth it. Great staff. Cheap food and Drinks and very tasty. Very safe. Not too loud. We stayed at Toruma, Pangea and this one all owned by the same company. pangea was awful, toruma was okay but this one we couldn't have asked for more!!

One of the more expensive hostels in the area, but if you can afford an extra couple dollars a night, it is well worth it.

There was no common room where people could meet and hang out besides the restaurant. The security was really low...The cleaning people left the windows open everybody can go in.

it was nice having a pool at the hostel and a crazy good view of the volcano. however, the place didn´t have a nice lounge room under the roof, thus whenever it rained, you were pretty much forced to go to the room and spend time there. They didn´t offer any private rooms which was their minus. The food was overpriced and music played a little too late and a little too loud. Th staff was very helpful but that´s about it.

What a great spot ~ the dorms are co-ed so don't expect a female dorm but every aspect of the hotel is well run. The restaurant, pool and free internet are great features.

This place is pretty expensive for cramming 8 people in a room, in mine they crammed 9 with one poor guy sleeping on a mattress on the floor, but hot water, clean, secure.

Arenal Backpackers has a great pool with a view of the volcano, a place for food, and some other nice aspects. Its best feature, though, is its close proximity to everything you could need (post office, bus depot, restaurants, etc). I enjoyed my stay very much, and would certainly stay there again.

Wonderfully friendly staff. Very helpful. Their A-game is making sure you have a good time while in Costa Rica. One of my best hostel experiences ever!
