The staff were helpful and the location was excellent. Reception was open 24/7, allowing us to drop off our bags early. The hostel had a rooftop bar that doubled as a living area, providing a great place to hang out. The cleanliness of the hotel was impressive, with daily vacuuming, mopping, and dishwashing by the maid. There were free lockers available, and the beds had outlets for convenient charging. The central location was perfect for exploring the city's main attractions.
Everything is what we need and want.

The price was good and the location convenient for partying. The room had a creepy guy but they quickly moved me. I appreciated being able to use the room early. The lockers were spacious. The room was decorated nicely and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is centrally located near restaurants and bars. Public transportation is easily accessible.

Charming stay amidst the chaos. Free WiFi, small beer in the evening, what more could a posh lady ask for? Just don't expect much from the shared kitchen.
Culinary delights await in the shared kitchen. well, if you consider a cracked microwave and a couple of crumbling pots covered in burnt grime delightful.

We had a great time at Pura Vida Sky Bar. The location was perfect, right in the heart of the city, with everything within walking distance. The room was clean and tidy, making for a pleasant stay. The staff member, AnaMaria, was incredibly helpful and friendly, providing us with all the information we needed about the city and tours. I would highly recommend this hostel.

The hotel's decoration was lovely, with cozy furnishings and warm colors that made me feel right at home. The general areas of the hotel were clean and well-maintained, and there were plenty of comfortable seating areas where I could relax and read a book or chat with other guests. As a senior woman, I appreciated the hotel's accessibility, with handrails in the hallways and elevators available for those who may have difficulty with stairs.
I would have appreciated if the children working there could have been a bit more attentive to the needs of senior guests.

The location in the heart of the city was ideal, and the price was budget-friendly. the modern amenities, including the comfy beds and lockers in the room, were convenient. the highlight was the Sky Bar with its 360-degree views of the city.
Felt completely satisfied, no reason to complain.

My recent stay at Pura Vida hostel was fantastic. I stayed for three nights and it was the perfect base for exploring the city. The hostel is located in the old town, making it convenient to visit all the tourist attractions and enjoy the nightlife. The two receptionists I met were extremely friendly and went out of their way to make my stay enjoyable. They even remembered me when I returned to the city a few days later and offered to store my luggage while I explored before my evening flight. The triple room I was given was spacious and had plenty of wall plugs to meet the needs of all three occupants. I had a pleasant stay and found the location and staff to be excellent.
I strongly recommend this hotel.

Great location, close to attractions and walking distance to main train station. Sky bar with good music and cocktails. - Walking tour starts nearby.
No elevator, which can be inconvenient for carrying luggage up and down. Kitchen could be improved with more utensils.
