Front desk & staff were great with answering questions, helping with a lock out, and more. Room was clean and easy to access and the location was super convenient to the activities I was doing on the beach. Would stay again.

Gorgeous setting! Privacy curtains on the beds. Personal light and electrical outlet. Reliable internet. Everything I want in a hostel!

Had a blast!

Had an absolute blast at Playa 506. The location straight on the beach is incredible, both for just going out for a swim but also to watch the incredible sunrises in the morning. The people in the reception are also so helpful and kind. There was a party in Bocos, Panama, the weekend I was staying but the vibe was still cool, the Sunday when people were coming back it became straight away even more social which was a nice way to finish off my stay. The only downer for this place is that there’s no free coffee in the morning. The facilities are also alright, I’ve been to hostels with better/cleaner kitchen facilities but it was still alright. Would highly recommend to stay!

This was a good pic. One of the few hostels in front of the beach at Playa Cocles. Walking distance to public beaches, restaurants and stores. The staff was friendly. Food was somewhat pricey, though. However, the room was clean and a good value for what we paid for.
Abraham, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property with appealing decor inside and out. The restaurant /bar has a great location on the beach, including shaded areas to hang out in hammocks and on covered platforms. Food and drinks were great! Can’t beat the location. We rode hotel bikes along the Main Street to explore more sites. Staff (Alejandra) was very welcoming, energetic and helpful. We were so pleased with everything! Bonus: we had a brand new mattress as they are updating rooms. Lucky for me! 😁 It was very comfortable! Overall Quiet, comfy, and lovely! Wish we could have stayed longer. I’d gladly visit again! Thank you, Hotel 506 for making my trip to Puerto Viejo an unforgettable memory!

Great experience ! Good location. I was impressed by how clean is kept. The kitchen is excellent! It has all kind of pans, utensils, everything! And is impeccable at all times ;) What made the difference was Alonso and Alejandra at the front desk. They are exceptionally helpful, friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond to help you. Even Freddy at the bar! Thank you all! You guys made my stay better. I will definitely come back.

bien place et agréable pour un court séjour

hostel agréable avec accès direct a la plage, personnels sympa et agréables. Toute fois notre chambre était bruyante quelque soit l'heure de la nuit et il y a plusieurs fois des odeurs nauséabonde. les prix du bar, petit déjeuner et repas son correct et la cuisine et bonne pour le Costa Rica

Buena ubicación, ya que se encuentra a la orilla de la playa y cerca de muchos restaurantes y comercios. Ambiente relajado y sensación de comunidad con los otros huéspedes. Se me hizo un poco caro en relación a lo que ofrecía.

This was my beach escape for a week and I loved every second. I was going to stay 3 days and ended up staying the whole week.
Alexis, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Leider etwas dreckig. Auch war unsere Matratze sehr durchgelegen. Alles etwas dunkel und schimmelig. Der Gemeinschaftskühlschrank ist widerlich. Die Managerin eher unfreundlich, daher habe ich mich auch nicht wohl gefühlt. Leider auch sehr weit ab von Schuss. Der Strand ist wunderschön und der Zugang dorthin super! Fahrräder können unkompliziert und sicher ausgeliehen werden. Das hat gefallen. Dennoch würde ich nicht wieder kommen. Haben für zwei weitere Nächte in der Stadt eine andere Unterkunft gebucht, preislich gleich aber deutlich besser.

The staff was extremely unhelpful to almost everyone I encountered. Bordering on rude. It was very noisy. The people above us sounded like they were coming through our floor. We took some friends to eat snacks and get 1 drink at the restaurant and it was outrageously expensive. We ate at Koki twice and it wasn't that expensive. Even though this property has a great location at Playa Cocles, I won't stay here again.

The hostel is nice and well kept. AC and wifi is great! Hostel food and bar is a bit pricey, but food was great! Bike rental on premise and close to other beaches and restaurants. Staff was super nice too. Definitely recommend!
