The hostel is comfortable and clean. When I made my second trip to San Jose, I already knew where I... More

I have had two wonderful stays at Hostel Urbano, and I would like to thank Jane and her fellow hosts! The hostel has a great vibe...very relaxing, comfortable, hip, and fun. It is charmingly decorated with an artistic flair, and the private room I stayed in was spacious, clean, and lovely. A fresh breakfast is served every morning, and during... More

I've been travelling around Costa Rica for several years and have stayed in various hostels in San Jose, but Urbano is by far the best, and I've been to stay three times now. It is brand new and the building is stunning, with lots of photos and artwork hanging about, and a very cool 1970s and art deco aesthetic. The... More

We came here for the second time. The Villa is big, the private rooms and the dorms are nice, bright and clean and the mattresses are great. Its definetly worth staying here. It-s been one of the best places to stay at.The owner is lovely. She helps where ever she can and with whatever you need.

After a long day of travelling and a mistake with our booking at another hostel it was a huge relief to be greeted by Jane - she was so warm and welcoming. The hostel is beautiful- incredibly clean, open areas to chill, big kitchen, pool table, computers, tv, cute backyard, and decorated with an artsy modern vintage feel to it.... More
