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!

Nice Studio Apartment

Nice two bedroom studio apartment about 200 meters from main hostel building. Managers were exceptionally helpful and accommodating. Only slight negative, really more of a surprise, was that they didn't accept payment via credit card.

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!
