Liked: Nice building and day staff is friendly.

Disliked: This was the worst hostel experience we have ever had. We booked a private room with two beds and a private bathroom but we were given one double bed. In the middle of the night, someone came into our bathroom from another door that led to a common hallway. When we woke up in the morning, we were told that breakfast was in the kitchen. The 'Continental Breakfast' that is advertise turned out to be a dirty bag of bread and an old tub of margarine that we were told we could help ourselves to. We didn't. The second night that we stayed there, we went to bed early as we had to get up at 5:00 am to catch a bus. A huge party was going on right in the middle of the hostel, which happens to be at the door of every room. By midnight, we were still being kept up by the yelling, dancing and music, so I went to the reception desk to ask them if they could tell the people to be quiet. No one was there. So I asked the people myself if they could keep it down since we needed to sleep. I was told that I should keep it down and go back to bed, as they were paying to party, not sleep. Nothing was done about the party, and needless to say, we barely slept that night. We have stayed at 'party' hostels before, but the party was in a location away from the rooms. Don't stay here if you need a good night's rest.

Danielle Miles

20 January 2010 Danielle would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel was lovely, with a common room decorated with Christmas lights and little cafe tables and a large shared kitchen. Lots of people and activity, but everyone was considerate and quieted down after 10 pm. Tons of pamphlets and help figuring out the Bus system. A little more expensive than some places, but one of my favorite places we stayed in Costa Rica. Breakfast, however, was just two pieces of bread and some jelly, and all the coffee and tea you wanted. Better than no breakfast, I suppose. They had beer and soda for sale at the hostel for a high price, but nice to have it available once the stores close.

Liked: Lovely hostel with pretty garden, comfy beds and good amenities like free wifi and hot showers. Difficult for taxi to find however, and staff spoke little English. Very quiet too, only one other person in 10 beds. Overall, nice, quiet, safe and good choice if comfort is your preference.

14 June 2009 Catherine would recommend this property

Liked: The hostel staff were incrediblty helpful in planning future travel plans. Included toast for breakfast and free internet were great. Rooms were clean and comfortable and bathrooms good. Only odd thing was the dorm we stayed in seemed to be a throughfare to a social room for the staff and their friends so random people would wonder in and out...would still have stayed longer just maybe have questioned whether it was necessary.The area around the hostel didn`t feel very safe at night but I think the same can be said for the rest of San Jose! All in all, lovely hostel, lovely staff.

02 June 2009 Customer would recommend this property

Liked: When we were at this hostel, we were the ony ones there 1 night and 1 guy was there the second night. They have a flawed locking system where the person on duty has to unlock a padlock for you to get out. One morning we wanted to get out and couldn't because the person had stepped out! We had to escape through the garage. Very quiet, good location, nice staff, but several did not speak english.
