7 mixed dormitories: 4 on the ground floor and 3 in the basement. Rest assured, the basement is clear, modern and well equipped despite the absence of windows. Dormitories No. 4 and No. 7 have a private bathroom. The common kitchen is perfectly equipped. This youth hostel built in 2010 has only one real defect: the next track that can cause early wake up… The hotel is very close to the train station and the train station is close to the train station.

Tiene muy buena ubicación si pretende tomar el bus desde las estaciones Atlántico Norte o 710! Aún así no recomiendo caminar de noche por la zona! Hay muchos indigentes y mucha mugre. Los colchones son súper incómodos, se te clavan los resortes en la espalda. El ventilador hace demasiado ruido! Además nos dieron un contacto de WhatsApp por cualquier problema, y NUNCA nos respondieron! No lo recomiendo

We got what we expected, fast check-in despite arriving late at night, and a more than decent room.
Nice atmosphere, people are very convenient, we were able to leave our car in their parking lot for our day's visit to San José.
More than affordable price, only traffic noise in the morning and cold shower! Be aware

The hostel was solid, if uninspiring.

The host meant well but was somewhat strange in his manner. On arrival I was a bit confused as he wasn't very welcoming, and wasn't much help when I asked whether he could give me any help in booking visits to nearby national parks (navigating the website to do this and book bus transport is quite tricky, so I was hoping that someone with local knowledge might be able to assist).

Later on in my stay he was more polite so I don't think he was being deliberately rude when i arrived, but it still came across like this.

It is very quiet, and there isn't much of a social atmosphere - so I would go somewhere else if you are looking to meet other travellers when you are away. The lights are completely switched off at 10pm.

I stayed in a private room with an ensuite. The room had a musty, unfresh atmosphere and there was a strong smell of drains from the bathroom (this put me off my food when I tried to eat in there one night). It felt very used and worn. The bed was, however, very comfortable and I had a good nights sleep every night.

It did feel very safe and the breakfast of pancakes and coffee was a highlight.

In terms of location, it is a 30-40 min walk to get to the centre of the city and main bus stations. This is navigable but everyday I had to walk 40 mins to and from from the centre/bus stations, so if you would prefer less walking then I'd suggest staying somewhere closer to the centre or on the western side of the city.

Groot huis met een beperkt aantal nette kamers. Een ontbijtje is inbegrepen in de prijs. Eigenaars zijn vriendelijk. Spijtig dat het net iets te ver uit het stadscentrum ligt. Maar anderzijds het is lekker rustig wat een groot pluspunt is in San José. Ga er zeker terug.
