"Too noisy, cannot rest or sleep"

4.0

The room was on the street and the windows don’t close fully (there is a gap at the bottom), therefore not isolated at all, which means you hear the whole traffic day and night. It’s impossible to sleep straight through the night. The room was basic and clean

This is ideal for a quick stop over if you've had a late flight into SJO, before you travel elsewhere in Costa Rica. The room was basic, very rickety old bunk beds that I was concerned might break as I was climbing up and down the ladder! The drains smelled absolutely terrible, I'm not sure what it was, but you can't spend long in the bathroom! Airport transfer was very helpful. Staff were reasonably helpful but not particularly friendly, which now I find unusual, after going elsewhere in Costa Rica, and people being SO nice! Essentially, good for a quick layover, I wouldn't stay longer.

"First Time; Would Do Again "

10.0

At 57 years old, this was my first time staying in a hostel. It was interesting to be in a ‘mixed room’ and the gentleman that I shared it with was a very kind, respectful local. The reception was helpful and I felt confident my suitcases were safely secure.

Hello so I booked this for my daughter which is a young adult due to her plane for Liberia didn't leave until the next day. It is very convenient for a quick emphasis on quick layover. The free shuttle is awesome side note, you must book shuttle 24hrs in advance. If the shuttle dnt work a taxis is approximately $10 usd. They initially put my daughter in a dorm room with 3 guys she did not feel comfortable and called me crying. I told her to just stay in the lobby where there is a camera and the front desk personnel. The front desk attendant immediately seen her distress and provided her private room And bathroom and as a parent I was so grateful for this. So in my heart they get a 10/10!!! Btw I paid for the dorm room, my daughter was just uncomfortable with how many guys in the room.
