The best things about this place is affordability. I was a solo female backpacker and TripOn was a convenient, affordable base for me with everything I needed. The breakfasts were tasty (so much fresh fruit) and the coffee, the wifi exceeded my expectations, there's a lot of comfortable chill out spaces and the curtains around each bed in the bunks which gives a decent amount of privacy. I got in not long after Breakfast (after 30 hours of air ports/ planes) and the staff had me booked in and in my bed within like 10 mins of me arriving. And the cooking facilities were decent enough that I could cook lunches/dinners for the week and make my trip that much more affordable (Costa Rica restaurants are expensive). Would definitely stay here again.

Our worst experience! we had a look at the cheapest hostel on booking (only 7dollars). We decided to go there directly. We had a bad reception, the girl at the reception was not very nice. When paying, she asks us double what we saw on booking! we explain to her by showing her on booking and she looks up and answers us that it is only if we book in advance. we explain that for half the price, we can directly book on booking. And makes us understand that it is not possible ... the owner intervenes and explains that it is not very correct what we want to do. we therefore ask him to make a commercial gesture to pay him live and not via booking. After a lot of blah, we understand that he will not do anything and therefore decide to book via booking. The owner vexed contact booking and canceled our reservation !!! So we left the place under the mocking look of the lady at the reception.…

Located in a quiet, safe and strategically accessible neighbourhood. Friendly service, nice breakfast spread and priced accordingly. Do not expect a 5 star resort, but rather a cheap and comfortable place to stay on a budget.

I consider it is a good hotel for backpackers and for short stays, with comfortable living and entertainment spaces, it has many spaces close to the hotel in a city that is pure life (pura vida) and pleasant and friendly people.

The hostel was great value. Excellent buffet breakfast with a great choice. Considering how expensive Costa Rica is this is great place to stay when you arrive in San Jose. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Helping with the details of where to get the buses for destinations. Also it is situated in a good safe area in San Jose. I liked the communal areas where you could meet other backpackers which is the essence of a good hostel. The kitchen area was spacious and well equipped. The dorm rooms were spacious and clean I felt the bathroom/shower could have been much cleaner. The shower rooms near the 6 bed dorm and the 10 bed dorm were in need of repair as the other shower rooms were in better quality. Just because you chose cheaper rooms to sleep in shouldn't mean that there is poorer quality shower/bathroom to use. …
