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!

We absolutely loved staying at this hostel, everyone there was so welcoming and treated us like family. The hostel is very safe and clean, and they organize activities that you can do with everyone. This was the first hostel we stayed at and it was an amazing amazing experience. Thank you Lautaro y Lara for everything ❤️

I absolutely loved this hostel! It was super spacious with lots of nice hangouts and a beautiful view of the river. It had a chilled but friendly vibe so it was easy to meet other travellers but nice and quiet when you want to sleep. The kitchen was really clean and well equipped - there were plenty of hobs so even at busy times you don't have to wait to cook. I loved having the gym for morning workouts too!

Diego, the staff member at Poshtel Arsenal, truly made my stay exceptional. From the moment I arrived, he went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and help me navigate my Costa Rican adventure. His expertise was invaluable – he not only guided me through transportation options from San Jose but also assisted me in booking shuttles and recommending tours. The hostel itself is fantastic, with a welcoming atmosphere that stands out from other accommodations I experienced in Costa Rica. A highlight was definitely the heated pool, which provided a perfect relaxation spot after a day of exploring. The overall vibe of the place is warm, inviting, and social – exactly what you want in a great hostel. If you're traveling to Costa Rica and looking for a memorable, comfortable, and helpful accommodation, Poshtel Arsenal is an absolute must-stay. Diego and the team will make sure your visit is nothing short of amazing!

I had the opportunity to stay in the cylinder rooms - a very cute and unique experience. The bed was comfy, the AC worked perfect and the secret garden was so pretty especially at night. The staff were friendly and the bathrooms and showers were always spotless! I really enjoyed my stay!

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!
