Run by a young, sociable crew, this Arenal hostel ticks all the boxes. It's within easy walking distance of the big sights, the mixed dorms are clean and tidily furnished, and it has a great rooftop bar. Evening meals (€8, or €10 for Saturday paella and sangria) are available and a weekly program of events means there's always something going on.
