Toucan Hostel

The location

Booked a Deluxe room with private bathroom and got a Double with a share bathroom, very deceiving posting on the web. Also it said breakfast available and there is nothing but a share kitchen. So, be careful when do your booking.

The proximity to the airport was great for a brief overnight stay. It was also fantastic to have someone there 24/ given we arrived at midnight and were collected the following morning at 5.45am

It was a bit worn and the room was very internal but it was good for an overnight stay

El personal y super limpio

Receptionist was really nice, showed me everywhere and I could see she helped other guests and went beyond to help them. She told me where to get breakfast (next door) and I like that there were rooms for women only. Check in was easy and the place is very clean. I paid 2 000 colones (1 300 colones according to the meter plus tip) for the taxi from the airport. It was a 5-7 minutes drive but honestly I don't recommend going there by foot from the airport, no sidewalk, highways only. Once you pass your luggage to security at the airport, go to the right desk "taxi" and ask for one. The person will assign you a driver and ask where you are going. These are the legit safe cabs to take, the orange ones. They will put the taxi meter on. I didn't have to ask for it.

There's no space for storage nor lockers. Well at least I was not aware of it. The rooms are small and if there are a lot of people the dorm can be crammed with all the luggages near the beds. It can also be stressful if you are hypervigilent on your belongings since there are no lockers. The private room can be a great solution if thats your case.

L’accueil chaleureux de la personne à la réception

L’hôtel est situé en bout de piste de l’aéroport, donc extrêmement brouillant. Pas de serviette de bain, les toilettes et la salle de bain non privative, l’impression de dormir avec le voisin car aucune épaisseur de mur. Nous n’avons pas pu dormir.
