Hostal Gaia

We expected to stay 2 days but ended up staying for 4. The town is so beautiful and the saff is great. The kitchen is pretty small but as long as you stagger cooking with other travelers it does the trick. The hostel is just what we needed as a jumping off point for hikes.

Rooms were a little small but youll want to be out and about anyways.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. They gave us tips for hiking and we even ended up seeing a Quetzal on the trail they recommended (pipeline trail). The kitchen was very well stocked and exceptionally clean. The room and bathroom were clean as well. In our room there was a big board where we could put all our stuff which was very helpful. The hostel is close to the bus terminal, supermarkets, and restaurants. The public market, where you can buy fruits and veggies is also close by (ask for Mercado Público). They can do your laundry and there's tons of clothline to dry your clothes. There's also a space where you can clean your shoes after a hike. Would stay there again.

Ceiling makes noises when there are strong winds. Didn't bother me though.
