"Decent Home away from home"

10.0

Top location , right in the center of San Jose, on the main pedetrician street. Nice panoramic city view of the capital from balcony ( you can see the mountain even from 4th floor ). Spotless clean. Very ,cooperative staff ( especially Ricardo). Decent staff to check at 10 am. as soon as my room has been cleaned. ( in contrast to other hostels, e.g., " Costarica Bacpackers " : where the rude staff asked to charge 8 $ , just to sit on the couch in the lobby for 3 hours !!! , before check-in, otherwise they cancel your entire booking!!). Good wifi in rooms, real value for your money

Balcony floor & room carpet need some rennovation

Muy céntrico.

El aislamiento acústico es fatal si te toca una habitación con balcón. Había cucarachas y parece que no cuentan con una buena aspiradora para las alfombras del cuarto.

"It was adequate for what we needed, but the lack of follow through with the airport shuttle, room type and slow breakfas"

Location, cost

Lack of follow through with airport shuttle; room was not what we have requested and paid for. Free breakfast was a continental breakfast as best, delivered later than requested.

"Bien para el precio y la ubicación"

6.0

La ubicación buena al lado de un supermercado y a una cuadra del teatro Nacional y otros lugares importantes

En la noche casi no salía agua de la ducha, apenas un hilo, hay bastante ruido en algunas horas de la noche ya que es pleno centro

Buena ubicación

La habitación no le funcionaba el control de lal tv, había un teléfono para llamar a recepción que no funcionaba, para colmo la habitación el quinto piso y el elevador no servía. Terrible!! deben mejorar esas situaciones sobre todos por qué lo clientes son adultos mayores....y le fue difícil subir y bajar escalones hasta el quinto piso.

La instalaciones son viejas, la habitación tiene alfombra y hay mucho olor a humedad
