3 night stay
We stood here for 3 nights and it was super cozy and very comfortable. We got the private room and shared the Br with one other room, everything was kept clean and the space is beautiful ! There’s plenty of space to hang out,work/homework and the kitchen is a cute space with great espresso!

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.

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.

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.

Maria and the staff were amazing. I felt at home and cared for as a solo traveler. I need to use American Express to pay for my reservation and they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Would absolutely stay here again!

This is the best hotel I ever stayed in. It was a very lovely place. I met the manager the next day after my arrival and she was so willing to help me planing what to do. I am so thankful for that. The place is very clean the rooms very confortable. I dont really know if it was a buffet breakfast but I ate until I could no more and it was delicious too. I definitely recommend this place and definetely will stay here since again.
