Honestly, I can't recommend this hostel. First off, the facilities are old. There's no hot water in the communal showers; only rooms with private bathrooms have it. While the common areas look nice, they really lack proper maintenance and upkeep. The hostel does have a water dispenser and a communal kitchen, and the Wi-Fi is stable. However, and this is a big one, there were bugs in my bed. My back and legs were bitten, and they were incredibly itchy, as you can see in the pictures of my back. The front desk staff can only speak limited English, as it's a Spanish-speaking country, so communication was a hassle and required assistance from Trip.com's online customer service.

Nice facilities. Clean and convenient location. The only drawback was that there was no AC in the room just central in the building so it got hot at night inside our room. Staff was nice and very friendly. Transportation options were excellent

I showed up, and my bed had hairs on it. The location was dirty feeling and looking. And the woman who was mopping the floor sprayed chemicals by my feet and also mopped my feet when I was waiting in the common area.

This is my go to stay in San Jose. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfortable, the area is great, and the vibe is relaxed. I have nothing at all bad to say about this place and I plan to stay here many more times when I pass through San Jose.
