    Personally, what I didn't like was that, when taking a bath, the shower water was super cold. I even thought that maybe by playing with the shower handles, but both of them were for cold water. Definitely, my fastest shower ever! Anyway, if you are into cold showers, you won't have an issue with it.

    The hotel has great personnel, super friendly and willing to help you. Unfortunately, I was not able to taste the breakfast as I got a slept, but for what I heard from other visitors, it was great and tasty. Overall, it's a very centric place to stay at, for a nice price as well.

    It looked like the bed hadn’t been changed. Two beds i tried we’re full with hairs and sand. The included breakfast was very little, but that’s okay.

    Great location, i arrived quite late and that was no problem. The room was spacious and the bathroom too (+ hot shower!). The temperature in the room was really nice. Good working internet!

    No atmosphere, not too many places to chill or work.

    Free breakfast and cheap place to crash for the night. It is an interesting building.

    Could smell a little better

    Excellent customer service. Very friendly and respectable staff. If you want the nice view you need the more pricey rooms. The shared dorms; you get what you pay for but its in the heart of downtown SJ and the customer service is increadable.

    A bit hard to find. The entrance is on the pedestrian walk which is a bit confusing if you taxi or uber.

    Great location. Right on Avenida central close to the gold museum.

    I think it used to be a luxurious hotel but it has quite worn off with time. Kinda historic building!

    It’s located right in the centre, so pretty accessible to any bus station or other facilities.

    A few mattresses are due for an upgrade. Many in the 8 bed dorm were worn and you could feel the springs, but a top bunk mattress was firm and comfortable.

    Breakfast was included in the price of $11,00 a night. It was delicious and filling. Made it a great value for money stay. Location on central Ave is walking distance to major bus terminals and in the heart of the downtown area, so it was great too.

    The bulbs in the room were fairly dull so hard to read anything at night but apart from that it was good value

    I had a private room. It was great and slap bang in the center. Big room and clean. it was in the center of the pedestrian area but still quiet
