Nice facilities. Clean and convenient location. The only drawback was that there was no AC in the room just central in the building so it got hot at night inside our room. Staff was nice and very friendly. Transportation options were excellent

I showed up, and my bed had hairs on it. The location was dirty feeling and looking. And the woman who was mopping the floor sprayed chemicals by my feet and also mopped my feet when I was waiting in the common area.

This is my go to stay in San Jose. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfortable, the area is great, and the vibe is relaxed. I have nothing at all bad to say about this place and I plan to stay here many more times when I pass through San Jose.

3 night stay

We stood here for 3 nights and it was super cozy and very comfortable. We got the private room and shared the Br with one other room, everything was kept clean and the space is beautiful ! There’s plenty of space to hang out,work/homework and the kitchen is a cute space with great espresso!

Nice stay for one night

This was a nice place to stay for one night to catch an early flight. The hostel had shared space that included laundry, a couple of lounging areas, and bunk beds. There was also an option to rent a private room with a shared bathroom, which is what we did. It was pretty clean and relatively quiet. The area itself seemed a tad sketchy. All of the surrounding buildings had fenced in garages and barbed wire gates. I wouldn’t spend an extended amount of time here, but to and from the airport was okay.

Easy to find and close to downtown. Not much shopping or dining in walking distance but just a short bus/uber ride to town. Staff was friendly and bilingual. They were knowledgeable about a host of activities and could help explain local customs. My room was clean and secure. Other guests seemed okay but i didnt socialize much.

Very nice one night stay. In a chilled out residential area that is close to Sabana Park and not far from the centre of San Jose. All the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.
