Pura Vida Sky Bar & Hostel

Stylish, well-run hostel, situated on the edge of the city's historic centre. Accommodation is in four-, six- or eight-bunk dorms. Beds are standard-issue pinewood, but the walls have been given a dash of colour. The main drawcard is the rooftop bar, with awesome views out over the centre. Even if you're not staying here, stop by for a drink.
