At the hostel, every room is equipped with a balcony with pool view. All rooms are complete with a private bathroom and air conditioning, and selected rooms have a patio. I had a wonderful stay here.

The staff were so friendly and helpful, nothing was too much trouble. I'd definitely stay here again.

Casa Roja Hostel has a garden, a shared lounge and a sun terrace with swimming pool and American breakfast in Montañita. 300 metres from Montañita Beach and 1.3 km from Olon Beach, the hostel features a range of water sports facilities. There is a barbecue and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. This is by far the best place we have stayed the last 4 months of traveling. The facilities are amazing! Big garden, big outdoor kitchen, beach access, supermarket across the street and only 5 min from town - but far enough to not hear the party noise. Ramon and Gloria are very sweet and helpful. We extended our stay with 3 extra days and didn’t want to leave.
