This hostel is a 3-5 minute walk from most restaurants and the supermarket in Santa Elena, and it provides a nice view over a small valley from the back porch. Our room was clean and well maintained, and the bathroom had new tile, a hot water shower, but no hot water in the sink. The hostess spoke english, provided a... More

I stayed at private room #7 for $15 a night. It is good for the price, however, I had to sleep with a face mask to avoid the smell of mold in the room. The room #7 I stayed in was stuffy, it had a lot of privacy, but the room just smells aweful. I had to open the window... More

The service was excellent. I started out on my trip back to San Jose. About 14 kilometers down the steep and unpaved road I got stuck. We returned to Sleepers Hostel, or rather, Ronny, the owner, drove down no less then three times... first to pick me up and my family as well, later to get a mechanic down to... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one quick night to do some ziplining and hiking, not intended to be anything romantic, and were actually assuming we wouldn't have much privacy. We ended up having a private room and bathroom with a great view of the valley. The only complaint we had was that the bed was uncomfortable, shaped like... More

I stayed in the four-bed dorm. My bed was comfortable and the place was kept very clean. Hot water and good water pressure in the showers was also great. The highlight was the help that the family who owns the place offered me in recommending the best tours and booking them for me. They went out of their way to... More

We sleeped in a private room with shared bathroom. It was a nice place with a beatyful vieuw. I think that the price for the room was really good and everything was clean. One thing that can be inproved. You could see trough the curtains really good when the light is on or during the day. I don't like that.... More

Ronny and his family were awesome. Really helpful, courteous and entertaining. The family lives on site so his children around to play with. I definitely recommend this hostel! Ronny helped us book tours at pretty much any time. They cleaned the rooms each day, cooked us a great breakfast each morning and there is a communal kitchen. It's an easy... More

Clean, clean, clean. You are sharing the common areas with the owners and their three young children, and they make you feel right at home. There is excellent Wi-Fi, along with a couple of public use computers for staying connected. The breakfast is awesome! They provide in-house laundry service, two hours and about $7 for a full load of laundry.... More
