This hostel is a special place! lovingly cared for by the family that works here, you will feel at home. Delicious breakfast and other ingredients to cook all available. It has a green area to rest and if you want to work, there's also space, you don't need to stay in the room. Translado service from and back to the airport available too. I am traveling alone and it was a pleasure to have find this place. Recommend to anyone!

The owner was so accommodating and stayed up after hours when I arrived at nearly 11 pm, and she booked a taxi and was up and making sure we got off to the airport at 4 am. She made me a hot tea at check-in in and the room had a privacy divider between me and the other beds in the room, and a fan was provided.

The staff is extremely helpful and our trip to Costa Rica started well thanks to them. The house is great, the kitchen is well organised, the bathroom is efficient. They offer a very friendly and affordable airport transfer, we highly recommand to take advantage of it especially since taxi drivers in San José airport are not reliable and rarely offer a fair rate.

For 2 nights, I slept in the dorm, in the lower bunk that was very near the door from the communal seating area into the garden. It was excellent there because I got a lovely cool breeze from that open door to the garden. So, even with the curtain of my bunk closed, I was very comfortable. Then, for the next two nights (because I was expecting pain from dental surgery), I booked a private room. The room was on the other side of the kitchen, with a louvred window facing into a closed-in little open space. There was absolutely no breeze there, so I was very hot and uncomfortable in that room, even though I had my own bathroom. So, if I stayed at this hostel again, I would rather be in a dorm: cooler because of the open-plan design, with no closed doors to the dorms. Something that I really liked was the available public transport: the No.7 bus (to el estadio) comes up the road, from the highway (near El Sabano park), to a bus stop really close the hostel. That bus goes into central San José, stopping along Avenida 2. To come from the city centre, to near the hostel, you need to go to Avenida 6: there is a bus stop near FarmaValue (between Calle 1 and Calle 0).

I needed a stay to get by airplane the next day. This was a very good place to take a good shower and sleep in an excellent bed before going to the airport. They also provide a place for your car, that was my case. Also the staff is very friendly!

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
