Stayed in "Gringo Pete's too" for two nighs. Stuff was friendly and helpful. They are offering a lots of tours The rooms are ok for this price. Ask for a receipt after paying the room! The kitchen was dirty and the coffee in the morning was terrible. Do the Volcano Tour with William, it was very good. He knows a... More

$5 a night for a very airy and friendly dorm space, free coffee and kitchen use. love the colors, love how the lounge brings you back to the 90s. heard that others had problems with the manager but i found him to be friendly, he has an american sense of humor so maybe that caught some off guard. cheap tours...

You get what you pay for. In La Fortuna, all of the other hostels are close to $10 pp, but Gringo Pete's was half the price. The dorms are nothing to brag about, but there were a lot of cool people around and a wall full of some useful travel information. Pete could come across as rude, but we didn't... More

There is a community fridge. The rooms were tiny, there was only space for the bed and for us to change clothes. Additionally, the hostel offers discounts on... More

Really nice place! Affordable for poor student like me. (14 per night for a double room with private bathroom~) perfect location, right next to the bus stop, market, and all kinds of sodas and restaurants!

located not far from the city center, the small is really small though. after a military briefing of introduction of the place here we are. the atmosphere is really chilly, we loved it so much and we decided to stay 3 nights. tours are the cheapest of the whole town and we really suggest to buy them here by pete....

"Gringo Pete's too" is a very basic place that was sufficient for my needs. The reason why I am giving this place a bad review is not the hostel itself, but rather the horrible attitude of its manager. He had no shame in charging me an extra night, when I was late for check out. This came as quite a... More
