I spent three nights here, I stayed in a private room with ensuite for 7000 colones . The staff are great, even accompanying us to the natural hot springs ( the free ones the Ticos go too ). There is a communal kitchen and a really good vibe here. Oh I was also given a welcoming glass of rum on... More

Gringo Petes Too is very close the main bus terminal, a convenient locations when you are carrying heavy bags. Rooms are clean and personnel is friendly and helpful about guiding us to the waterfall and the hotsprings. The kitchen looks very spacious but all it takes is three people preparing a meal to feel cramped. Also, I had trouble sleeping... More

Forget it if you are an adult - this hostel is for one night sleep only to get your bearings, you will not be able to have a good time there - he locks outside area promptly at 10pm, you will not be able to go and have a cigarette on the back even. He will threaten to call a... More

Gringo Petes one was full so we stayed in Gringo Pete's too. We were greated by the friendly staff, they took us through all the available rooms so we could choose which ine we preferred.

Gringo Pete´s is a nice place in a quiet part near downtown La Fortuna. The stairways and the placing of the rooms made it feel a bit like Pipi Longstockings Place, which I like a lot. Marta gave a quick tour and in the kitchen and the terrace I felt right at home. The rooms are small, but clean. Prices... More

This is a review for “Gringo Pete’s TWO”. There must have been changes made in Gringo Pete’s because I couldn’t find majority of the negative reviews posted on this site. The staff must have changed. The location of the hostel is OK. It is just of the main drag, next to a small river and close to a fully stocked... More

I am surprised so many people are so-so on this place. I loved my stay here. I wish there were more places like this throughout Costa Rica. The proprietor/manager was an extremely nice, congenial guy who gave me good recommendations and didn't care when I and the other ex-pats partied somewhat loudly until midnight. My solo room was very Spartan... More
