My very first hostel from my trip around the world.. I enjoyed my stay there really much! It is very centrally located, it has a nice little pool, free coffee all day and the dorms are totally good enough for some days. The outside area is well maintained, there is even a little bar. The Kitchen is clean and big enough to cook a nice meal.

Heel goede locatie om naar het centrum te stappen. Helaas waren de kamers niet goed. De matrassen en kussens zijn aan vernieuwing toe. Regelmatig ook kakkerlakken gezien en het personeel was niet vriendelijk. Geen zeep in de toiletten om je handen te wassen. Amper toiletpapier. Jammer want het zag er wel belovend uit!

Hospedaje 19-20-26 octubre
Lugar central, con seguridad y recepción las 24hrs, lindos espacios comunes y piscina, cocina bien equipada, posee un restorant/bar que funciona todo el día, la conexión a wifi es bueno, tiene hartos baños y duchas en todo el recinto, lindas salas de estar, hamacas y bancas
Nos quedamos al principio dos noches en una habitación privada con litera de plaza, era un cuadrado pequeño solo con la litera y el ventilador, no teníamos donde apoyar ni colgar nuestras cosas (el hostal no contaba con lugares para colgar nuestra ropa en el exterior), almohadas en mal estado, la cama de arriba no tenía donde tomar corriente. Lo bueno es que teníamos un baño cerca que pocas personas usabas y siempre estaba vacío. Al fin de nuestro viaje nos hospedamos una noche en una habitación compartida de mujeres, las literas eran más grandes y cómodas con enchufes y luces por cada una (aun que las nuestras no funcionaban).
La relación precio- calidad no correspondía, a nuestro parecer las camas compartidas tenian mejores instalaciones y más comodidad que l privada que era un poco más costosa

Un gran lugar para hospedarse en San José, especialmente si son viajeros de pasó o backpackers como su nombre lo indica. Me quedé en una habitación compartida y no hubo ningún problema, todo muy limpio y hay buena convivencia. Un lugar ideal para conocer gente cool y otros viajeros. Las áreas comunes y los baños compartidos muy buenos y limpios, y la cocina equipada con todo para cocinar y ahorrarse un poco, el precio de las habitaciones son de los más cómodos en la ciudad, tienen bar/restaurante y cafe gratis, el servicio fue muy bueno y definitivamente volvería. Recomendado 10/10.

Area felt safe. The beds were extremely comfortable and I appreciated the curtains to close the beds in. However, there were several roaches in and around the beds. There were only 2 bathrooms (one was out of order) and 1 shower for the whole section of my hostel. There was never any toilet paper and even when I asked they just told me to go to the basement bathrooms. The bathrooms were dirty. Staff wasn’t the friendliest (all hostels are like this and I don’t know why?). There were a lot of children staying as well. (Which is fine- just an observation as I prefer adult hostels). Also the kitchen area was vey small for the amount of people there. And the coffee that was provided in the morning tasted like sewage water. Overall it was fine and I would stay again but there probably are better.

Me alojé unos días en el dormitorio sólo para hombres.
El hostal está bien organizado y el personal es muy servicial a la hora de facilitar información sobre excursiones y transporte.
Me gustaría dar las gracias especialmente a Elena, que me proporcionó mucha información para visitar los alrededores.
La recepción está siempre abierta y el café también es gratuito.
El único problema es el paso del tren a primera hora de la mañana, pero si eres un amante de los trenes como era mi caso, incluso esto no es un verdadero problema.
Gracias a todo el personal por su amabilidad.
Adiós

Pour une nuit en dortoirs c'est pas cher mais les douches et toilettes sont vraiment pas terrible, de plus l'isolation est vraiment horrible la musique et les voitures qui klaxonne à partir de 5h du matin.
Pour la chambre privée c'est okay et confortable mais pas toute les chambres sont équipées d'une salle de bain privées , en revanche dans le bâtiment des chambres individuelles la salle de bain commune est vraiment bien, et l'isolation sonore reste la même que dans les dortoirs.
Et pour l'extérieur juste incroyable !! Tout est fait pour faire des rencontres et la nourriture au restaurant est pas cher, tout comme les boissons.

Muy descuidado, para llegar hay que meterse x una calle de piedra que un vehículo bajo no llegaría, se queda pagado, la cabaña pequeña esta muy descuidada, no lo recomendaría para nada.

Hola
Creemos que te has equivocado de lugar al dejar esta calificación. Nosotros no contamos con cabañas ni estamos en una ubicacion con calles de piedra, El hostel esta ubicado en San José centro con calles asfaltadas. por favor verifica bien la información.

Preis-Leistungsverhältnis top, Lage ist ideal: 5min zu Fuß ins Partyviertel (Bars, Clubs, insgesamt sehr sicher gefühlt dort), 20min zu Fuß in die Innenstadt mit Einkaufsstraßen und Sehenswürdigkeiten, Busterminals der meisten Unternehmen sind auch zu Fuß in ca 35min erreichbar oder per Uber (günstig und schnell in SJ), Außenanlage mit Pool, Garten, Küche, Bar und Sitzgelegenheiten sehr gemütlich und für die Lage direkt in der Stadt sehr ruhig

Stayed at this place on the recommendation of a friend, and I have to say that it was a great value. I only stayed here for one night before my flight out, but I met some cool people that were also just starting or ending their trips. The atmosphere was a little weird at first with a lot of people sitting around on their phones, but once a conversation or two started, others joined in.

The location is convenient, with easy access to public transportation and local attractions. The hostel itself was clean and cozy, offering comfortable beds and a great atmosphere to meet fellow travelers.

There is a pool area in the middle with a kitchen and a bar.

I enjoyed my stay here and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a budget-friendly and welcoming place to stay in San Jose.

Decent for what you are paying - you get what you pay for, which is a cheap room close to the heart of the city. Bring a fan if you have one because the rooms are hot at night! And make sure you bring earplugs.

Ambiance de l'hôtel top. Resto-bar minimaliste qui fait très bien l'affaire.

Les chambres sont très mal isolées et près de la route. Sensation que les voitures roulent au plafond... Impossible de fermer l'oeil, bercé par le bruit des voitures et des klaxons toute la nuit.

Es como tener un ambiente de playa y vacaciones en el puro centro de Chepe!!
La verdad los precios por noche son los más accesibles que he visto por esta zona!
Como chica me sentí segura por que hay habitaciones tanto solo para chicas como para chicos!
Aparte tienen un resta y un bar adentro en caso de que usted no quiera salir y quiers chillear ahí! Y si no, también tienen una cocina compartida para mandarse a cocinar ????????✨

Limpio y céntrico! Recomendado!

The 6 bed dorm should be a 4 bed dorm. How the beds are on each wall, you cannot fit through the tiny gap with your backpack. I imagine bigger people would struggle to squeeze through as well. Bed itself was comfy and came with curtains, a light, and a plug. Lockers under the beds can fit your whole big backpack or suitcase, but otherwise not enough floor space. Could also use with a place to dry clothes, especially in rainy season when your clothes get wet or on sunnier days if people use the pool.

The location was fine for museums and ATM. About a 20 minute walk to the starting point of the free walking tour. Uber is cheap and easy at all hours (even before 5am for an early bus to Tortuguero), but sit in the front seat to avoid trouble with police.

The kitchen was well-equipped, just be careful with the hanging pots and pans. I hit my head a few times on them and once so hard after standing up to get a plate from below that 2 of them got knocked off their hooks and my head was bruised and painful for almost a week. You have to walk outside for the kitchen and common spaces, so bring an umbrella and/or rain jacket in the rain. Also be careful of cats trying to steal your food in common spaces, especially if you have allergies.

It seemed the nicer upstairs shower near my dorm only had cold water, but the downstairs smaller one had hot water. Not sure if that's normal or just the day I was there.

Las camas aunque estaban limpias eran demasiado ruidosas, el más mínimo movimiento generaba rechinidos por lo cual con otras personas es dificil dormir, la atención fue buena y el lugar es agradable. Pedí un transporte desde el aeropuerto y nunca llegó, por lo que me toco llegar por mi cuenta...
