Hostel Cattleya - Monteverde, Costa Rica

Santa Elena, Monteverde Costa Rica

All units at the hostel are fitted with a seating area. The rooms are equipped with a shared bathroom with free toiletries. All rooms will provide guests with a toaster.

Monteverde Ecological Sanctuary is an 8-minute walk from Hostel Cattleya - Monteverde, Costa. The nearest airport is Tambor Airport, 67 km from the property. Check in was smooth, and the place was very accommodating. I particularly enjoyed the hammocks and availability of the open space. I injured my ankle while on the trip and the reception was able to help me change to a lower bed as well as provided ice and offered medical services. Immensely grateful for the help provided. I did not book tours through reception but they seemed nice and organised
