Read what the Lonely Planet has to say about our hostel and our location.

Hostel: "Bekuo is certainly Costa Ricas's prettiest hostel... the place is not only beautiful but has a fantastic buzz.This is a hostel with an air of distinction. Peace reigns throughout as guests spend the day flicking through the pages of Allende and Marquez novels while idly rocking away in the garden hammocks. Stone ornaments set amongst pristine greenery and floral arrangements complete the tasteful look outside - be sure to check out the boulder-like Bribri stone sphere that was a gift from ex-Costa Rican President Figueres. Inside, there's a homey sitting room and kitchen, plus a pool table - around which there's the regular banter amongst the meeting travelers. Sundays are always fun when young owner Storm puts on a hearty barbecue or gets in a belly of tuna for everyone to make their own sashimi."

Location: "About 2kms east of downtown are Los Yoses and San Pedro, home to a number of embassies as well as the most prestigious university in the country. College kids are the same world over, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that this university district is brimming with the highest percentage of bars and clubs in the city... you'd be hard pressed to find a neighborhood boasting better restaurants than San Pedro and Los Yoses."
