Reviewed May 16, 2013

Everyone reviews on a scale, some people the facility is the most important, some the service, some the party. I try to review mostly on the staff and the atmosphere they cultivate around the guests. I've slept in terrible beds before but enjoyed my stay tremendously because of the staff and the vibe of the place, not to stay that... More

“Really a hidden gem.”

Reviewed May 12, 2013

Located in San Pedro. Only a 10 minute, $0.60 bus ride from downtown San Jose. Near the university area. Close to lots of bars but far enough away that it's quiet. Honestly one of the best hostels I've stayed in. Pool table, ping pong table, big tv, Internet access everywhere (even in your room), beautiful courtyard. You will not regret... More

A great staff and a nice clean hostel and really cheap too! I highly recommend staying here as the staff is really helpful and you can ask them for traveling tips and they know a ton about CR and can point you in the right direction anywhere for a good time. If I head back towards San Jose again and... More

“Best hostel I've ever been at.”

Reviewed April 16, 2013 via mobile

The staff was super friendly, from when I arrived, she even made fresh coffee and cookies for everyone in the evening. Rooms/bathrooms very clean. With a fan! Great atmosphere. Chill area and pool table. Great location. A little hint for future back packers, instead of a cab I'd suggest the local bus 250 colon compared to the 5000 taxi ride.... More

I stayed here twice while passing through San Jose, and both times I got stuck for a few days just because the hostel is so nice.
