Situated in Liberia and with Parque Nacional Santa Rosa reachable within 38 km, Hostel El Pretal features a tour desk, non-smoking rooms, a garden, free WiFi throughout the property and a shared lounge. Located around 800 metres from Edgardo Baltodano Stadium, the hostel is also 41 km away from Marina Papagayo. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen and luggage storage space for guests. The location of the hostel is great. It is far enough away from the main streets to be quiet but close enough to walk to restaurants and the main square. The hostel is welcoming and comfortable. I will happily stay here again when I am in Liberia.
