My girlfriend and I arrived in the evening after a flight from Peru and were expecting it to be packed but strangely the whole place was empty? We paid $37 (I think they quoted $28 if you did not want an en suite) for a double room with bathroom which was clean and had fresh towels/toilet paper, TV, fridge en... More

I stayed here only one night. Did not have a good experience, the hostel was noisy and the room was quite dirty. The only convenience was that it is close to the coca cola bus station, but would not recommend this hostel if you are travelling by yourself because it did not fee safe.

The hostel is set around a lovely little courtyard. We found it quiet despite being on a main road. The bedding was clean but the room would have benefitted from a good dusting, lots of cobwebs on the walls and dust on the backs of the doors, otherwise it was clean. The owner and staff were very helpful and gave... More

First off...this has been my best night of sleep in this type of room (a hostel). The bed and room were average and modest, adorned with a Bible and candle only. The reason we stayed here was to catch the first bus to Paso Canoas for the Panama border crossing. It was close and reasonable. We paid $30 for a... More

This place is good value for money. If you want to be close to attractions in the centre of San Jose, then this is a great option. Clean and affordable with good service. There is a relaxing lounge area with magazines and a good selection of books to chose from. It is quiet at night so you can get a... More

An interesting layout. There is a huge open space that all of the rooms open onto. It is covered but yet open to the outside at the roof line. Furniture and plants are scattered about. You feel like you're outdoors but not. Very comfortable. However, it's noisy. The street in front has non-stop bus traffic. Also, the room we were... More

My husband and I who are middle aged stayed here during their slow season. There were only a few people there and we enjoyed it very much! Orietta and Luis are very helpful. They speak English which was quite helpful to us as our Spanish is not good. The beds were comfortable, the breakfast of toast, fruit and coffee was... More

I stayed here for just two nights. I did not have my alarm clock and needed to catch a bus to Nicaragua. The very friendly staff called all of the bus companies for me and woke me up in the morning so I would not miss my bus. Plus the breakfast was great. Need more people here though so bring... More
