Hostel Cattleya

Loved the pool and the wildlife around, clean and comfortable rooms with AC. Hammocks are nice touch. Check in/out was simple and the staff was very kind.

Very clean. Do not get confused or nervous by the name hostel. It is a studio with its own private bathroom and private kitchen. Large room and well stocked kitchen utensils. Service of the staff is excellent.

Cattleya was better than we expected! Our group was exploring Monteverde/Santa Elena for 2 days, and we were provided with a very clean, large private room (including our own mini kitchen and full fridge, in addition to the communal kitchen). The reception area is separate (about 3 min drive) from the rooms, but not inconvenient. There are lots of restaurants nearby. We actually got food from a nearby grocery store and cooked in our room. Overall, amazing price for what you get. It was perfect for our short stay and we would be happy to return!

The studios are very cool. There is an electric burner, blender, and other kitchen appliances to make food. The space is a good size for a family with two queen size beds in each studio. The only downside is how windy it gets each night. The wind truly howls and sounds like a storm (and it’s often that way in this region). I recommend earplugs or something of the sort if you are a light sleeper. Also, they arrange for shuttle service to places, which was nice except I found out that the price of the shuttle was twice the amount I was told at the desk. All in all, it’s a great place to stay, and I’d highly recommend it!

We had a 2 bedroom appartment.  Spotlessly clean, kitchen very well equipped.  Parking out front.  Stayed for two nights.  Could not ask for a better place.  Highly recommended.

Cute modern and simple rooms that accommodated our large family with clean bunk beds and a nice shower. We loved the shred area where we cooked a couple of meals and met people from other countries. The staff was extra helpful and kind. They reaerved the tours for us and answered all our questions.

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!

A great hostel just far enough from town for a quiet stay. Our room was big, clean, and comfortable, with space to sit on the porch and relax. The owner and other staff was super friendly and ready to help with booking tours and more, very convenient.We loved our stay here!The only wish could have been hot(ter) water in the shower.

Lovely

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.

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!!

Excellent place!!

Simple hostel, but in every way very good value for a good price. Short 10 min walk to main street in Santa Elena, 2min walk to small supermarket. Rooms and bathrooms were clean, beds were comfortable, the included breakfast (lots of fruit and toast and scrambled eggs, coffee/tea/juice) was very filling. Service from the manager was excellent.
