Got the room option with private bathroom very basic but good for what we needed. Felt safe and it was super convenient to everything. Hostel vibes with friendly staff and a restaurant right next door. If you want a place to rest your head between adventures this is it.

Outbox Inn is very reasonable, clean and very convenient. Lots of shopping and restaurants are just a few steps away. We loved the restaurant next door which gives a discount to people staying at Outbox Inn. Everyone was super friendly and eager to help us. We highly recommend.

Good stay

Nice place, great staff and very organized. The lobby and common areas are really nice. Pretty loud at night with music from the bar across the street and the howler monkeys in the morning. Would recommend bringing ear plugs.

Ideal location, clean, comfortable, with incredibly helpful staff (shoutout to Alex for answering a million questions and giving us the best recs). Common area is chill with a beautiful kitchen/balcony facing out into the jungle. Beds were super comfortable and felt like sleeping on your own personal stage.

Loved the space and people. Unfortunately the bar next door was extremely noisy until late at night and kept us from sleeping.

Bldg. sits in the back & thus hard to find. Hallways have sudden 5 cm drop that people stumble over. Showers have no room/ledge for shampoo, soap, etc. Rooms & Lobby have no TV, no fan, no AC.

4/10 Fair

Unfortunately we did not enjoy our stay or the area. Our room was one of the private rooms, it looked a lot better in the photos. The room itself smelt of mould, and was covered by a sweet fragrance dispenser which made it 10 times worse. The floors where dirty and the bed have you a cold sweat. The only window pointed onto the builders shed, who walked past continuously throughout the day. The service was good, they booked us transport from our pickup point but this transport was dangerous and unacceptable. The man drove unsafe, did not give us our change and when asked in Spanish by the hostel, he said he did not have change after we just gave him 120 USD. We would not return to montverde or this hostel again unfortunately. The food they offer in the restaurant is fab and they have a car who lounges around who is equally as nice!

8/10 Very good

I stayed in a private room, which was very nice and spacious. The bed was very comfortable, and having my own bathroom was a big plus. The water pressure in the shower was quite weak, but on the positive side, this was one of the few hostels I stayed in that had warm water. Nights in Monteverde can get quite cold, so I asked for an extra blanket for the second night, which was provided without any issue. The hostel is in an excellent location, making it easy to get around. Breakfast at the restaurant next door (with a 10% discount for guests of OutBox Inn) was also very good and definitely worth it. The only downside for me was the atmosphere. I had expected a slightly more social vibe, but it felt like most people preferred to keep to themselves. Of course, that’s not necessarily a bad thing, but I was hoping for a bit more interaction with other travelers.

Staff and ownership were super helpful and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again next time I’m in Santa Elena. Seems like a family/privately run business, and they’re putting in the work to develop a great hostel. Support them, and they’ll keep making their establishment better!
