We stayed here for two nights. The hostel is clean and the people working here are the nicest hosts we have met on our holiday so far. The location is a bit outside of the main street, but only a 10 minutes walk. They offer a super quick laundry service and there is a bike rental just around the corner. Nothing negative to say about this place, I would definitely recommend! 

Lovely!

Lovely family run hostel. Bit out of town but an easy walk, area is nice and quiet. They do rent bikes which makes it easy to explore the surrounding area. The room was nice, our little house had 3 rooms to one kitchen and bathroom. Had everything we needed, no complaints!

Lovely

We stayed 2 nights there. It was very nice and clean. The kitchen good. The toilet little bit small. Cecilia and wiliam are amazing! They helped us on everything and explained us everything thank thank you!

Cecilia and wiliam amazing!

Good points:
Nice little veranda outside for eating at
Fresh free coffee every morning
Only 10 min walk from centre of town & fantastic surf beach
Very clean room 
Small kitchen in the room
Friendly staff regularly checking if everything is ok

Bad points:
Our room was half finished, with a breeze block wall covered by a sheet, areas of bare plaster board, random shelving brackets, ceiling held up by a wooden upright & only a few bits of crockery in the kitchen. 
Electric shock from the shower head
Asked to pay, in cash, within seconds of arrival!!

A bit expensive for what it is!

We’ve spent 5 nights at Hostal Cecilia, they were by far the worst nights we had in Costa Rica. Looks like what might have been a nice and friendly family business has turned into a nasty cash flow for the tenants :

- the place is extremely LOUDY, we were waken up multiple times every night (thin walls, dogs barking, owner TV at 5am, car engines, light and door slammed at midnight). We would have left if we didn’t pay upfront.
- the rooms are cheap but still not worth the cost. The first one we had (28$) had ants coming through the wall right above the bed head. The shared bathroom was so small it’s ridiculous we were supposed to share it with 3 other rooms. We upgraded for a double room with private bathroom (35$) which had cold water and cockroaches.
- there are as many pets than rooms. We counted 4 smelly dogs and 3 cats, left on their own with the guest and allowed to rest on empty bedrooms. Not so clean.
- there is no parking, 2 cars max can be parked right in the middle on the court and will necessarily wake up every single room if drive early or late a to night.
- owners seems to have forgotten what managing a hostel means. Advertised free coffee is pretty much what’s left from owners breakfast. They are using a full equipped kitchen when guest shared one is small empty, and falling apart. Only spot left to us to have our breakfast was a table corner close to the rental bikes since all other spots were used by the tenant family.
- William the manager was definitely more interested in our wallet than ensuring we had a good time. He was very pushy at first to have his money (we had to go to the bank, he asked for cash only). When paid the very next morning, we never saw him after that even if he owned us some change back. We compensate by having a free laundry we refused to pay.
