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.

Located in quiet neighborhood

This was my first experience staying at a hostel and it was a pleasant experience. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. A basic breakfast was served every morning. I would recommend taking a bus downtown or driving yourself, for it's not extremely close. The bus system is fairly easy to navigate. The location of the hostel consists of residential homes and offices with a few tasty restaurants nearby.

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.

Staff at reception very friendly and helpful providing you with lots of helpful information. The bunk beds are very comfortable and generous in size including space to put your stuff around you,more like a pod than just a bed, also lockable drawers, space to put the bag, if wanted extra locked room for bag. Everything is super clean and kept clean multiple times per day. The showers and toilets are also very clean and spacious. The kitchen‘s fittings are not extensive but functional. There is complementary water and good coffee. Everything is light and open, airy and inviting. The WiFi works well without issues and there is a nice coworking space provided. Also a cute little garden including space to dry clothes. Laundry is offered at fair prices if needed. Reception is staffed 24/7 to let you in. And at night time they don’t just let anyone is but check that you u have a booking in so you can feel very safe. I did not explore the immediate area. It is a bit away from the city center but easily and quickly reachable with an Uber. There is a quite limited number of beds making it feel very cozy and calm with generous space.

Excellent rapport qualité prix

Je suis restée une nuit dans une chambre simple, avec sanitaires privés. La chambre était conforme aux photos. Il y avait une table, un espace de rangement, un ventilateur, et du savon dans la douche. C'était suffisant pour une nuit. Il y a la possibilité de se faire livrer Uber Eats, ce qui est appréciable.

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.
