I have stayed in hostels all over Latin America and Europe and feel that Casa Tranquilo was by far my favourite so far. I have never encountered such friendly and helpful staff. The bedrooms and bathrooms are very clean and well kept and the guys working there are more than eager to provide all the information you need to have... More

I stayed at Casa Tranquilo for 1 week with my girlfriend and her grandmother. We stayed in the double room with private bathroom. The room was clean and free of any cockroaches. The shower worked good, and the toilet was clean. The breakfast every morning was great. I didn't realize that we would be cooking our own breakfast, but that... More

Upon arrival we were met by very friendly staff who helped us get situated and set up a night hike for us. The hostel had great vibes from the beginning and only got better. The staff will take you on a guided hike and they prepare fresh banana bread in the morning for breakfast. I had trouble with my debit... More

The moment we walked through the door, the staff of Casa Tranquilo made us feel like friends. A truly welcoming atmosphere, and not that fake 'have a nice day' nonsense: these guys are the real thing. On the nights we stayed, high winds rocked the building, which added to the enchanting atmosphere of the cosy alpine chalet-style rooms, with their... More

As far as hostels go, this one is hard to beat. Having stayed at various other hostels throughout Costa Rica, Casa Tranquilo was by far my favorite. When you’re traveling on a budget in country you’re not familiar with, you hope to find clean and comfortable accommodations with helpful and friendly staff, and Casa Tranquilo satisfied all of these needs....

We ended up staying here for two nights rather than one. This is a great spot if your looking for a histal in monteverde.

Waking up to a beautiful view on the... More
