Reviews of Tsunami Hostel

The staff

The roaches, ants and spiders

The manager was nice and the kitchen was good

the room looked like a filthy motel. burn holes in our sheets, there was stains all over the walls, an old squished bug still on the wall with a dirty shoe print on it. just gross honestly. but the only thing affordable in tamarindo

Location was great and also the bed was comfortable. Room size ok.

There was no sound proofing in the rooms. There was a lot of noise outside the room early in the mornings and also late at night. The ceiling fan was squeaking and it didn´t really cut it with the heat. Shower water temperature was not adjustable.

Close to the beach - right across the Road

Room is dated, bathroom needs updating

Good vibe here, super friendly people and a little away from the busy core of Tamarindo which was nice. Close to the small ferry across the mangrove to playa grande.

Great hostel is you are travelling on a budget. Perfect location in town. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. The rooms are basic and a bit outdated but this wasn’t an issue. The kitchen is great!!!

The mattresses are like sleeping in direct contact with metal springs! Fine for us for one or two nights but maybe not the best option for a longer stay.

Very friendly and helpful staff.

The staff was incredibly friendly and fun to talk to, AC worked consistently and we had a full size fridge in our room. The location was a quick 5 minute walk to Playa Tamarindo as well as all of the incredible restaurants.

Beds were rather old box springs. No warm water in the showers

Omar, the owner/manager was the sweetest and most helpful person. I got a free upgrade to a room with a private bathroom which I really appreciated. The kitchen is well equiped and cleaned thoroughly daily by the staff. The hostel is located right across the street from a beach access path so it takes about 2 minutes to get to the beach. Free drinking water is included. (The restaurant, Soda Buffet El Estero, in the parking lot of Tsunami is amazing!)

It's on the edge of town, so it's quieter (which I liked) but you have to walk about 10 minutes or so to get to the main restaurant area. (It would be nice to have some hooks in the bathroom or bedroom to hang things up.)

The guy at the front desk was so nice and helpful. The place is clean and the location is perfect.

The people were great , specially Carlos who gave us lots of information.

The rooms are ok but they require an upgrade, maybe some paint to re fresh the look. Every thing is outdated. Also, there was a lot of noise at night and early morning. People yelling and some kind of bangs .

The hostel had everything we needed and the kitchen was nice! Super close to the sea and nice people

Well located, staff so lovely and friendly, comfy beds, able to hire surfboards etc is a really nice touch, reasonably priced.

Quite a big problem with ants- they were all over our room! Kitchen facilities quite dirty- but you get what you pay for!

The staff were lovely helpful and friendly

Nothing

Good location and cheap for the area.

The toilet didn’t flush properly. Some silverfish and ants in the room, not uncommon for Costa Rica.

The management is excellent and very knowledgeable about many things regarding the Tamarindo area. The room was packed with beds: larger (I belive full size) bed, and a double bunk bed. The bathroom was small also, but A-typical for much of the area. The hostel is within walking distance from major attractions and restaurants also

Because of all the beds in the space within the bedroom, it is quite cramped and somewhat of a struggle getting through and into beds. The bathroom is small, but like the main bed area, there's little they can do to add space within the confines of the structure itself. They don't have warm shower water, but with temperatures in the 90s⁰F, it's not too bad

Omar is a great person. so lovely and helpfull
