This was an excellent place to stay. It was extremely clean and safe. It was also fairly easy to get to by bus, even, so I didn't have to pay for a taxi from the airport to get there. I would definitely stay there again. more

We are normally hotel people- not hostellers! But we stayed in a B&B in Alajuela that we weren't that impressed with and needed somewhere for our last night. A fellow traveller recommended Maleku, and we thought why not. We only had one night in Alajuela before our flight out the next morning, so we had to explore fast, but it... more

I highly recommend Maleku Hostel; it is 3 minutes from the International Airport. It is gorgeous and clean. The place is almost new, so, beds, baths and kitchen are absolutely neat! While the word of the existence of this great place is spread, there is a bin chance that you could stay in a room with no others. You should... more

I'd never been to Costa Rica before and the three of us wanted to get a feel for one of the local places which was still close/convenient to some of the things we'd wanted to see, like a couple of local zoos and the Poas volcano and crater lake. I don't know much about other area hostels since we didn't... more
