Great place to stay to visit Monteverde. It a good deal in this touristic area. The room was clean, so the shared bathroom was. Easy self parking on site and the hotel is walkable for the center of Santa Elena.

We had read the excellent reviews for Jonathan and Hostel Cattleya overall, and I have to add ours to the list. We were a group of 50-somethings, coming from a pretty terrible VRBO in Monteverde our first night- so bad that I took a chance on a “hostel” (we haven’t stayed in a hostel since traveling in Europe during college!). We booked the economy apartment for $45/night, which turned out to be an actual two bedroom house— whhaatt?!?! It was perfect- clean, coffee and condiments laid out for us, dishes and silverware, clean towels in the bathroom, full refrigerator, an actual stove. A little backyard w table and chairs. It was fantastic. Jonathan was lovely, too- super friendly when we checked in, made sure we had his phone number in case we needed anything. Even just staying one night, this “hostel” was one of the highlights of the trip. We can’t recommend it highly enough. Cheers and best of luck for continued success, Jonathan!

This hostel has the nicest staff, especially the owner. He goes above and beyond every day to make sure his guest's are comfortable. His hostel is very clean and in a great location about a 8 minute walk from the main downtown area. We enjoyed our sray and loved the beautiful sunset views around the corner.

Excellent place!!
We stayed here for one night in our road trip from Manuel Antonio to La Fortuna. What an adventure!! Monteverde is definitely another thing... a very different town up, up, up and... up the hills!! If you're going there, please be aware you'll need at least a mini SUV (not a small car like the one we had). We got there safe, but it was scary to death! Anyway, this place is a family run business and that's exactly how they make you feel. Very clean, everything brand new (just 5 months old) and very well located. Happy to have stayed there!!

This is a great place. Jonathon the owner is very helpful - helped with booking tours and other general information. The rooms are super clean, and comfortable. The breakfast is ample and sets you up well for the day ahead. It's a short walk into town, which meant that it was lovely and quiet.

Perfect place to stay. Highly recommended!
I was welcomed in a very nice manner by the host. I had no trouble checking in and all the questions I had were answered. The host has a great personality and he's open to all questions. He is very friendly and willing to go above and beyond. I actually had a lot of help from Jonathan, the host and owner, in deciding what activities to do in my stay. He is very helpful in scheduling tours, giving advice of the best tours, and discussing prices. The room I stayed in was very clean and comfortable. It had everything I needed. There was free breakfast provided, which was really good and tasty. The hostel has a clean kitchen for people that likes to cook. It has all the utensils and cookware just like a regular kitchen would. Since the hostel is just a couple of minutes from Santa Elena, it's easy to get groceries. I had no issues in my stay. The service was incredible. I would definitely recommend and go back because it was just perfect.

Insgesaamt super, CheckIn etwas chaotisch
Das Hostel ist insgesamt super! Der CheckIn war etwas chaotisch, da alles nur in ein Buch eingetragen wird und es da manchmal zu Überbuchungen etc. kommt. Bei uns hat da aber alles geklappt. Das Badezimmer war nur zT sauber, was aber eher an den Leuten lag, die das mitbenutzt haben. Es gab warmes Wasser in der Dusche ein großes Plus! An der Rezeption kann man gleich Aktivitäten buchen. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis war super! Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt :)
