ICO Living Hostel

Stayed in the mixed dorm: nice size, good storage space, big beds and good ac. The wifi works perfectly. The common spaces are nice to socialise, the kitchen is equipped and they help you with tours or surfboard rental. The staff is super helpful and friendly. Would love to return!

Cold showers (like almost everywhere in Santa teresa) and no freezer.

It’s a really good hostel in a really convenient location, very close to the beach. It’s quiet, comfortable, and has a spacious kitchen. The host is absolutely lovely and very welcoming. There’s also parking available, which was a great bonus.

The only downsides were that there was no hot water in the shower — the water was actually very, very cold — and the rooms are not well soundproofed, so you can hear pretty much everything. Also, our room was located right next to the reception area, with the reception directly outside our window, which woke us up early in the morning several times.

ICO Living is honestly one of those places where you immediately feel at home. The hostel is conveniently located, has the perfect size, and even offers private parking — which was extremely convenient during my road trip. The dorm had AC, as did some of the rooms, which is definitely a big plus in the area. But what really made the difference was the people. All the staff were incredibly kind, welcoming and genuinely happy to help. Special thanks to Giacomo, who even warned me about a river that was not crossable when I was leaving, and recommended an alternative road. It ended up saving me several hours on the road! The whole place had such a great vibe — it genuinely felt like staying with a small family rather than just at a hostel!

Absolutely nothing to complain about. I would highly recommend ICO Living to anyone staying in the area! 🙌🌴

Clean spaces, friendly staff, this is the ideal place to stay in Santa Teresa if you're on a budget. With beach access just accross the street and even a parking place for your vehicle if you have one, ICO Living Hostel is definitely a wise choice if you're looking to spend one or more days surfing or doing yoga at the beach.

They don't have blankets, just a thin sheet. If you sleep in the shared dormitory and the AC is on during the night, you might get cold.
