Really underrated - and cheap for what it is. People were really nice, it was clean and new, you have your own privacy if you want it and social spaces are very great. +1 for the guitar!

Absolutely awesome hostel located in a good location in La Fortuna. The volunteers, especially Kristiane and Lily, were extremely friendly and helpful. The hostel offers a wide range of tours and activities which are a lot of fun. Rooms are relatively spacious, mine even had AC and a fan, and the bathrooms are very nice and clean. The bar which is open daily is a lot of fun and the hostel is very social and it's easy to make new friends. I loved my stay here!

Absolutely great place with amazing staff, well-stocked kitchen, good wi-fi, and comfortable (if a little too cold) dorms. It has a direct river access and several common areas (although, sadly, the only spot with poor wi-fi happens to be the assigned co-work space).

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!

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!
