One of the best experiences in Jaco
Reviewed By Tephy_GuzmanThis was my first time traveling solo and staying at a hostel so I was pretty nervous but the staff was very nice from the moment I checked in to the moment I checked out. It was raining quite badly when I arrived but that didn't stop me from enjoying my time there. They offer a totally unique experience in cylinder rooms and I cannot wait to go back!

Beachfront hostel with all the amenities
Reviewed By KathleenH25Room2Board is a class act beachfront hostel that has claimed its own spot in Jaco. Away from the business of the main strip, Room2Board offers comfortable shared or private rooms with a view in front of a pumping surf break. The bathrooms include showers; additionally, there are common cooking areas, outdoor showers, a beautiful pool, restaurant and bar. For remote workers the co-working space is bar-none. You can stash your stuff in a locker to keep it safe, rent a board from the surf shop if you need one, take a lesson, book a tour, you name it. The prices are competitive and a real deal for what you get. If you are a budget traveler, stay in a shared room for under $20. If price isn't an object, stay more luxuriously in a private room. The owner Brian takes pride in his masterpiece accommodation and his friendly staff hails from all over the world. You will be content to just hang in the bar/restaurant area all day long or relaxing in the state of the art pool. Hands down one of the best places to stay in Jaco. As an experienced hosteler, I can confidently say that Room2Board's value can not be beat.

Good on a budget
Reviewed By Kathleen EI have stayed at this place a few times when visiting Jaco. It is a block from the beach and the included breakfast and entrance to Jaco Blu (a swimming pool bar near by) is a definite plus. The rooms are basic, but nice enough. The biggest negative is the street noise. Ask for an inside room or download a white noise app! If you are looking for a party hostel, this is not it. Mostly couples, small groups of friends or small families.

Lovely Hostel
Reviewed By Deborah7998They staff was very nice & helpful. They are a very close walk to the beach, less then 5 minutes & close to town. The breakfast was delicious, was very social and it was great meeting other guests. The back yard was beautiful and very relaxing. I had a nice nap in a Hammock in the beautiful backyard. The guests ranged in ages from 57 to 23. I would not hesitate to go back. There is a bus stop very close that will take you to the San Jose airport. Very convenient and easy way to get to the airport.

とても安いがバスターミナルから距離がある
Reviewed By Suzan8955朝食付きなのに他にない格安の価格設定である（ベッドやシャワールームの古さは気になる人は気になるレベル）が、唯一の欠点として長距離バスターミナルからかなり遠く、ハコの街を横断して30分以上の歩く距離。
