I've been in more than 100 hostels in the world , and this one is the worst I have ever seen/been in my life even for the price. The were not expected us even with a booking.com reservation, we arrived at 11pm , and I think there was no room, so we had the room of the waitress or someone working in the " Hostel" , we waited 30 minutes for them to prepare the room, room was so dirty, bed was 2 inch wide , the toilets and bathroom was horrible, a bug was plugging the bathroom evacuation, water was cold, and service poor as you can't imagine. Even for small budget pass your way , you can have really much better for 5 or 10 dollars more. ( Eg Fleur de Lys hostel etc etc ... ) I think that people who put the "NICE" comments were not sleeping here !

I enjoyed the amenities. The hostel had everything I needed to be comfortable and made sure I was ok. Good vibe overall. Probably the location. It's in the safest part of San Jose, but still wouldn't walk around alone at night.

Pues, no hay mucho ... hay dos computadores con internet y se puede imprimir algo. No sé como son los dormitorios. Viven en Costa Rica y no entienden ni una palabra en espanol? La bienvenida no era muy amable ... faltaron sábanas en una de las camas. Las sábanas tenía huecos. Todo el inventario, la habitación doble con bano que teníamos muy mal mantenido. La casa parece un basurero. Pasamos la noche y salimos corriendo. Para los que simplemente quieren pasar la noche para tomar un vuelo el otro día, les recomendamos alajuela, por ejemplo el Hotel Cortéz Azúl.

Que vous ne précisiez pas que c est un backpackers. Ce n est pas propre et tous les équipements sont à revoir. Par exemple, aucun drap ni couverture pour lit double, que des petits !.. Oreillers "crados" etc. Avons l habitude des backpackers mais jamais vu aussi sale.

Siamo rimasti molto delusi non tanto per la posizione non propriamente centrale dell'hotel quanto dalla struttura fatiscente e dallo stato della camera. La descrizione di un albergo a tre stelle che appare tramite la ricerca da noi condotta attraverso Booking e del tutto surreale essendo un albergo al massimo da una stella. La stanza con bagno privato (in teoria la loro camera migliore chiamata piccadilly), oltre ad avere pareti in cartongesso aveva un bagno "privato" che però tale non era, a causa di una parete che non arrivando fino al soffitto lasciava un enorme apertura di collegamento con un altro bagno comune dal quale si potevano sentire sia I rumori sia gli aromi del bagno adiacente quando veniva utilizzato dagli altri ospiti dell'ostello. L'armadio nella camera era diroccato...che altro dire!?! Di sicuro la nostra sistemazione peggiore di tutto il viaggio in Costa Rica! Ci auguriamo che Booking tolga questo albergo dalla ricerca dagli alberghi a tre stelle e che lo metta nella ricerca tra quelli ad una stella.

Vsec mi je bila gostoljubnost in prijaznost osebja, atmosfera v hostlu je bila dobra. Ko sem zvecer prisla v hostel, soba ni bila pripravljena, postelja ni bila postlana. Posteljnina ni bila cista. Oprema v sobi skromna in stara.

Really helpful and excellent staff who really went the extra mile in helping us figure out our onward travel plans. Interior felt like it still needs some work- our window screen was broken and bathroom wasn't closed in at the ceiling so felt like you were in the hallway.

*Great staff, very helpful owner *good and safe location: outside of downtown but good bus connection, really close to San Pedro mall *In contrast to previous reviews really clean rooms, private and shared bathrooms and *two perfectly clean kitchens *cheap laundry service *Elderly long-term guests, which seem a bit strange but do not cause any trouble

De prijs/kwaliteitverhouding. Niet echt schoon en het pand is in niet al te beste staat van onderhoud.
