One of the best hostels I've stayed in Centroamérica. Not only do dorms have a bathroom but also every bed has curtains, lights, a little fan and a socket! Ana is always willing to help and give you good advice about places and how to get there. The kitchen is amazingly well equipped and the common area has games and a ping-pong table, apart from some cute little lizards strolling around the garden. Great hostel!

Great hostel just a 2 min walk from town. Dorms were cosy and clean and with private fan in each bed. Good social atmosphere, easy to meet people in the dorm or at the rooftop. The staff were incredible and beyond lovely and helpful. I’d come back anytime 😊

I highly recommend this lodge, especially because you can spot sloths right in the garden! Imagine spending dozens of dollars on a tour and possibly not seeing one, but here, on my second day around noon, I saw a sloth for free, up in the trees. I didn’t have binoculars with me, but the kind lodge owner brought out a high-powered camera, and I got to watch the sloth move and sleep up close. If you love peace and quiet, falling asleep to the sound of a babbling stream, and waking up to birdsong, this place is perfect. Plus, you can use the kitchen for free, and it’s super clean. Best of all, everyone here is incredibly kind and welcoming

We had an absolutely amazing time at Blackout Hostel. Most notably, the location and the staff/people. Just a couple minutes walk to the city center with nice restaurants, bakeries, and shops. Also about 10-15 minutes walk to this spectacular waterfall where everyone goes to jump off the rocks and swing from the Tarzan rope. Tony, the owner, was so kind and welcoming. We spent every night chatting in the main room with the other guests and even went out all together at the club next door. If you're looking for a fun time focused on experiences, this is the place to be.

All hostels in Fortuna

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.

    I'd like this hostel totally! It was really clean, the host where supporting us all the time and available. They presented a wall with all activitys you can do and organized Pizzaevenings or nighttrips to the Hotsprings. There was nice space to chill and get in contact with other backpackers. It was really clean and near the center, but on a calm area. Was the best hostel on my trip since 2 month! Thanks!

    The swimming pool area, bar and communal area is great- it's very clean and feels very safe and is a lovely place to spend time and meet fellow backpackers. The pod was surprisingly sound proof and had air con. The showers were hot! Which was great!
