Selina is perfect for me: I look for comfort, a great atmosphere, and the chance to meet people from around the world. I love that they offer spaces to work and relax, along with events that make the stay fun and dynamic. Its central location and cleanliness give me peace of mind, and the service is always warm and professional. It's an ideal place for travelers who want a complete experience, not just a place to sleep.
I had such a wonderful stay from my first day. I wish I could’ve stayed longer. Great for solo travelers. Met so many cool people, good shared spaces that promote that social hostel vibe you want, and nice pool. Everything felt clean, multiple bathroom options on-site, a yoga studio overlooking the jungle and river. I couldn’t have asked for more from a hostel. My bed was comfy, room felt clean, nice storage for stuff in the bed. I have no complaints besides the bar being a little pricey but byo stuff solved that. Such a magical stay in a magical place.
Rooms are small but have A/C and a fan. The other travelers were friendly and it was easier to join into groups of people than at other hostels I’ve stayed at. Only real complaints are that the bar closed way early- everything roped off at 9:30, atleast 30 full minutes before the actual closing time of 10pm for the bar. It needs to be silent at midnight, but again, we were basically kicked out to go somewhere else by 11:30 and we were just small group of 4 of us near the pool barely making noise talking, didn’t even have music on.
The hostel's location is excellent, and the front desk staff are wonderful. I stayed in a spacious 6-person dormitory, and the rooms and bathrooms were well-maintained, although bed curtains were missing. The pool area is fantastic, and the communal kitchen is very useful. The restaurant and bar offer good food and drinks, but the service from the waitstaff could be more courteous.
This is my second time staying at a Selina in Costa Rica, and once again, they exceeded my expectations in many ways. The rooms were a bit compact but had very comfortable beds, which One minor issue was the lack of curtains.
The bathrooms in the rooms were very spacious, and having air conditioning in the dorms is a huge plus, especially in the Costa Rican climate. The overall vibe at Selina is delightful. Location is perfect, within walking distance of dozens of restaurants, several grocery stores, and many other attractions.
One area that could use improvement is the bar service. The staff seemed somewhat disinterested, Also, I would love to see more variety in the evening social activities beyond just karaoke and painting.
Despite these small issues, all other staff members, including the night security staff, were extremely courteous and helpful.
Great spot, beautiful grounds. Seems to attract lots of sociable people interested in nature. Natalia was a gem, hosted some great yoga classes and was wonderfully interactive and helpful throughout. Adriana was always very interactive and hosted some great karaoke and meet up classes. I will be back!
At first we arrived and got given a room that did have some mould on the walls. However, as soon as we mentioned it to the staff they were soon to react and sort us another room. Every tour we have been on has been great. Shout out to Mario from Los Lagos and Antonio our instructor for white water rafting. A massive bonus as well was 2 cocktails that worked out for £8 every night between 6-8. Would definitely recommended Selina La Fortuna !!
