Costa Rica Hostels And Cabinas

Many hostels are laid out dorm-style, often with large single-sex rooms and bunk beds, although private rooms that sleep from two to four are becoming more common. They sometimes have kitchens and utensils for your use, bike or moped rentals, storage areas, transportation to airports, breakfast and other meals, laundry facilities, and Internet access. However, there can be drawbacks: some hostels close during certain daytime “lockout” hours, have a curfew, don’t accept reservations, impose a maximum stay, or, less frequently, require that you do chores. In Costa Rica, a dorm bed in a hostel will average around US$7-10 and a private room around US$12-18. While hostels are common, cabinas are most prevalent: a step up from hostels, but still simple. Basic beds, fans, and a bathroom sometimes with hot water, but sometimes only cold. The pricier cabinas sometimes have cable TV and A/C.

A Hosteler’S Bill Of Rights. There are certain standard features that we do not include in our hostel listings. Unless we state otherwise, you can expect that every hostel has no lockout, no curfew, free hot showers, some system of secure luggage storage, and no key deposit.
