I stayed here twice with a group, coming to and departing from San Jose. The location is good; easy to get to and close to shops. It is incredibly loud. The staff and their friends up yelling, shouting and playing music until 3 in the morning both nights. The bathrooms were disgusting. We had a private toilet in our room... More

I stayed here in February 2012 twice, traveling with my boyfriend. We spent 5 days in San Jose as we were waiting to fly out of the city to Canada, and again 3 days on our way back from Canada to Costa Rica. Although most people don't like San Jose, I loved it and I think a lot of my... More

We didn't officially spend the night, but definitely appreciate the staff letting us crash here for a day while we waited for our flight. This is not in a super easy walking location to the city center, but it is safe (and gated), relatively clean (have seen cleaner hostels) and very, very friendly. Supposedly there are family rooms available; the... More

Love this place. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. Great hostel in a safe neighborhood. They let us take over the television in the common area from 9PM to after midnight to watch CNN coverage of the US Presidential elections. Everything about this place is great.Good value.

I really enjoyed this hostel. We stayed here for one night both before and after our drive to Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica. The staff was very friendly and there was easy internet access. We stayed in two different rooms, and they were both very comfortable, with big windows and comfy bedding (though some rooms have very small or no windows,... More

The night includes a breakfast. I was travelling alone and... More

I stayed one night at this hostel. The reservation was easy, good location, the staff was nice, friendly and very helpful. I did not have high expectations. However I decided to pay a little extra for a single room, but it was very very small, with no windows. So this is not going to work for you if you are... More

This is a clean and secure hostel in a safe part of San Jose, althoug its dark, it's near Mall San Pedro and just two blocks from the main street with lots of buses. I arrived late but the staff at the desk was helpful. I had a reservation for a private room, but he informed me that most people... More
