Liked: Pension de la Cuesta is a reallz nice place to stay in San Jose / its in the middle of the city and you can walk to nearly everything. The staff is great and really helpfull, I enjoy the stay here a lot. Beds are clean, you get a clean towel when you arrive and facilities are okay, you got internetaccess for free and also a saloo with tv, if its one of the many rainy nights. i can just recommend this hostel / i also love its look, it looks like a barbiehouse, and inside its also cute!

Liked: It was located right near the things to see in San Jose, but not too in the center of everything, making it safe & secure. A good breakfast everyday. Using the internet was sometime more helpful planning out trips than asking the staff, but they were helpful in other ways too!

Liked: Albero (spelling?) could not have been more helpful. He helped us book an excursion, and spent more time than he should have helping us book a bus out of CR when we were having problems doing so, he even offered to buy the tickets for us!! We had an apartment which was big and awesome, the place is basic but clean and has character, the communal lounge is great and the location is vey central. You would be crazy not to stay here!!!
