If you're looking for a cheap room in San Jose look no further. This place has a great chilled out vibe and excellent value for the money. 24 hour bar and a full service kitchen. 2 Cute dogs and in the middle of everything. Just awesome.

We, a traveling duo, stayed here for a three nights before heading on to Nicaragua. That was far to long for a city like San Jose but the Hostel Galileo helped pass the time.

There are many hostels in sanjose some of them are really nice and fancy, but what you will find in galileo is priceless, the atmosphere of the place, the people, is just the real experience for those who are truly backpackers and is the cheapest one that I have seen so far. I really enjoyed my stay in there and... More
