Liked: Correct prise,friendly people.
Disliked: Already I travelled around the world 2 times and I were in 46 countries,but here in San Jose was the most scariest city for me,,everywhere homeless,dirty,robbers are walking in night time where we were arriving there. Hostel is good,but be careful,don't go out on the street after 6pm.

Liked: This is a nice hostel, with big clean rooms and a comfortable living area. Friendly and helpfull staff and a tour company in the place as well with useful information and with whom you can book tours around the country.
Disliked: It is about a 15/20 minute walk to the city centre. There is no kitchen and no food on offer so you have to eat out. It is more of a hotel than a hostel and so you are less likely to meet other travellers here (compared to in a hostel environment).

Amber Piper
25 April 2010 Amber would recommend this property
Liked: Beautiful, huge room with great bathroom. So spacious and comfortable. Front desk staff really friendly as well. Nice lounge/eating/internet area. A bit of an echo throughout the hallways when doors opened/shut and people spoke, but didn't hinder my sleeping at all. VERY good value for money. Only issue is location. I got in past dark and definitly didn't feel secure walking around by myself. This is no fault of the guesthouse, though. The backpackers is just across the street and is great to go and socialize, while still cominghome to a quiet, VERY comfortable atmosphere.
