Guest Reviews

• Margriet (7/5): The vibe was a bit weird. There was no light in a part of our room, one of the rooms had a window on eye level that you - In a good neighborhood, gated house. Kitchen facilities Weird vibe
• Alvarado (10/5): -
• Cecilia (8/5): - La ubicación y habitación comoda. Bastante tranquilo para descansar La ducha no regulaba bien la temperatura y salia fria
• RAPHAEL (1/5): -

• Julia (7/5): Super Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis für Costa Rica - Tolle Lage und super Preis Leistungsverhältnis! Gut ausgestattete Küche und Gemeinschaftsbereich. Es ist immer jemand da, den man ansprechen kann! Frühstück (Müsli & Marmeladentoast) war inklusive. Sauberkeit im Zimmer (Fußboden, Handtücher,..) ist noch ausbaufähig aber okay!
• Luz Dary (10/5): volvería encantado - en general, fue magnífica mi estancia en el hostel, la atención muy buena, super recomendado no todo bien magnifico lo recomiendo
• Jennifer (4/5): Si solo te importa la ubicación por lo que pagas está bien. - Ubicación *Reservamos habitación privada con baño privado, sin embargo nos comentaron que tenían un problema con esa habitación. Así que nos asignaron otra donde el baño estaba afuera a un lado, pero asegurando que nadie más entraría. Que solo iba a ser para nuestro uso, y aceptamos. Pero no fue así, muchas veces se escuchaba que entraban a usar el baño. *La regadera fue un dolor de cabeza. Solo duraba unos segundos el agua caliente, salía demasiado caliente para luego estar totalmente helada. Le tenías que estar abriendo y cerrando, sin poder lograr la temperatura correcta porque cuando al fin lo hacías, se ponía heladísima. *La cocina se veía poco higiénica.
• Kerry (9/5): -
• Mayra (8/5): Buen lugar - Ubicación Mucho ruido
• Josep Martínez Alba (9/5): - Lugar tranquilo y buena atención
• Agustina (9/5): -
• TYELLI (8/5): - Fui muito bem recebida pela equipe do hostel. O ambiente é agradável. A localização é muito boa. Perto da UCR, do shopping e de restaurantes/bares diversos. Bairro residencial, muito tranquilo para caminhar. A noite faz frio em San José e o cobertor oferecido é pequeno, parece cobertor infantil.
• Dario (10/5): Siamo stati bene - Tutto bene
• Zdenka (1/5): Awful place - Nothing - this was a homeless shelter, not a hostel A lot of permanent residents - homeless people pretending to be “digital nomads”
• pistono (9/5): Ottimo. Per un soggiorno breve a San Jose - Il quartiere Escalante pieno. di ristoranti e bar. Quartiere tranquillo e sicuro. Perché non. mettere un. Insegna anche piccola per capire che l'edificio con. il. Murales dei bradipi è l'ostello??
• Florencia (9/5): - la cama cómoda y hay silencio en la noche para descansar bien y seguir viaje
• Kerry (10/5): - Excellent staff, beautiful place, and the best breakfast I've ever had at a hostel. They are very active in repairing things that break or make noises. They fixed a light fixture and a noisy bathroom door while I was there. The crazy expensive fee when paying with a card. I highly recommend using cash. Ants. Ants everywhere. Ant at the dining tables. Ants in your bed. In your bed everyday.
• cristian (10/5): Bien - Todo perfecto, tiene desayuno, buen precio , no tengo ninguna queja
• Daniel_aharoni03 (7/5): - Nice stuff, quiet area No hot water in the shower.
• Rosamaria (10/5): -
• Emiliano (9/5): -
• Lucy (8/5): - Good stopover location in San Jose. The breakfast was okay and the kitchen was large. The room was spacious. We had to wait a long time to use the bathroom.
• Mark (10/5): - The room was very comfortable and the location is a great spot for San Jose. When we arrived they were very accommodating and allowed for us to check in early. They also gave good recommendations for places to eat. We had an issue with the WiFi not reaching the room but this was resolved by the installation of a router extension. A special thanks to Fredi for his help.
• lucia maria (8/5): -
• Karen (9/5): -
• Droitsch (6/5): Okay - Es wurde jeden Tag geputzt 😄 Frühstück war okay / Küche müsste dringend renoviert werden Keine vernünftige Sitz/ Liegemoeglichkeiten im Patio / Keine Möglichkeit Wäsche aufzuhängen
• Manfred (8/5): Gutes Frühstück - Reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet, im Gegensatz zu manchen anderen Hostels, wo die Auswahl und Menge des Frühstücks oft sehr limitiert ist. Sehr private Bettkojen. Etwas weit vom Zentrum
• Rahul (8/5): -
• Abegail (1/5): -
• Natalia (7/5): - O hostel é super bem localizado, perto de bares e restaurantes. Fiquei em um quarto individual. Tive uma dificuldade com os travesseiros que estavam sujos e com mau cheiro. Percebi que o local atende muitos colaboradores de empresas da região e é menos voltado para turistas estrangeiros, pelo menos no período em que estive no hostel.
• Garay (10/5): -
• Mona (8/5): - Good location in safe area, restaurants and supermarkets are close. Staff was very nice. We had an early bus but were able to get breakfast to go. Private room was nice and quiet. It has a shared bathroom that was clean, just had to make sure the dorm isn’t using the bathroom because it’s exclusive to private rooms.
• Donna (10/5): -
• Michael (7/5): - Quiet area of Escalante neighbourhood, lots of good restaurants around. Fresh Supermarket was not far by walking. Shower was electric and hot water worked great. Included breakfast was good - bread, margarine, jam, fresh fruit and tea/coffee. Pool table! Reception staff were super nice. 10% surcharge if paying by card seemed excessive. Our private room opened straight onto the common area and was right next to the kitchen, so there was little peace or privacy. Looked like most of the rooms opened onto the common area, not sure if there were rooms upstairs but these would’ve been better? The wifi wasn’t very reliable. Shared kitchen space was okay but didn’t have an electric kettle or microwave.
• KYLEEN STANLING (10/5): - La calidad-precio No me disgusto nada
• Lucia (8/5): -
• Saioa (9/5): Me alojé en el hostel por una noche para luego salir hacia otro destino. Fue todo lo que necesitaba y todo lo que puedes -
• Fahad (4/5): Rotting food and sleazy staff - Large seating area A disgusting place to stay. The kitchen was filled with rotting food and fruit flies. The receptionist was more interested in flirting with female guests instead of doing his job. The other guests are homeless. This is a homeless shelter not a backpacker hostel.
• Denia (10/5): Sigan así - Excelente servicio,buen desayuno, limpio y buena ubicación.
• Diego (10/5): -
• Karen (10/5): Es sentirse como en casa. - Te hacen sentir como en casa, convives con gente de otras partes del mundo. Me queda super cerca del trabajo donde tendré que ir a menudo presencial y cerca de todo.
• Mariko (10/5): I love Casa Escalante and would recommend it to anyone.to be a - It is beautiful and comfortable. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The breakfast is fantastic, and kitchen well cared for snd spacious.
• Joakim (7/5): - Safe neighbourhood, wifi access. The shower was not really hot. the bathroom door was hard to open/close as it was scraching the floor.
• Aiora (9/5): Super calidad precio - Las zonas comunes y el barrio. Me habría gustado que tuvieran más información sobre autobuses para llegar a otros lugares desde San José.
• Adrian (1/5): - Las instalaciones del condiminio, se veía muy bien y cómodo para quedarse No estaba la encargada de las reservaciones y la direccion que me dieron para parquear mi moto no fue la mejor, faltaron detalles y nunca encontré el parqueo para la moto.
• Rafaela (5/5): - Los lockers son amplios para que tu maleta/mochila de viaje entre sin problema. Hay una lámpara pequeña y enchufe en cada cama. No estaban bien aseadas las camas. Hubo momentos que no había agua caliente. En la refrijeradora faltaba limpieza.
• Amy (10/5): - Lovely, cozy hostel with very friendly and welcoming staff. The facilities are great, the location is great and the rooms have spacious lockers and comfy beds. The breakfast is an added bonus and is good value for money.

• Giulia.bruno (7/5): -
• Marco Antonio (5/5): It’s a clean place and fair for the price, but be careful if you plan to pay with a credit card, as there was a fee that - The location and cleanliness They charged me an additional 10% for paying with a credit card, which was not mentioned in the description. I find this excessive, especially since other places typically charge around 3% to cover credit card fees.
• Erica (7/5): - Ho alloggiato nel dormitorio femminile. Letti dotati del minimo essenziale. Un solo bagno con due docce. Ubicato in una zona tranquilla e poco rumoroso. Personale super attento, gentile e molto disponibile!
• María Paz (7/5): - La cocina bien equipada y buen desayuno Las paredes eran muy delgadas entonces el ruido de afuera de la habitación se escuchaba muy fuerte
• Yu (10/5): -
• Daniella (10/5): -
• Nancy (7/5): - La amabilidad del host, el lugar es tranquilo y cerca de todo Las sabanas y la funda de la almohada olían a humedad, como cuando no se seca bien la ropa, eso fue lo que no nos gustó e hizo que la estancia no fuera del todo placentera
• pereira (8/5): -
• Azhaar (7/5): -
• Chary (10/5): -
• BRUNO (5/5): - Ruhiges Quartier mit eigener Garage. Reception für check - out erst 07.15 besetzt
• Martha (9/5): - On arrival late Nee Years Eve the receptionist Michael walked us to a restaurant in the neighborhood, many places were closed but he made sure we found a place to eat- so kind!
• Daniella (10/5): -
• Agustina (8/5): - Muy limpia, desayuno rico, habitación cómoda. Solo tengo para mencionar que la ducha no regula bien el agua caliente, de momento sale muy caliente y pronto pasa a estar fría. De todos modos eso no fue ningún inconveniente en nuestra estadía y lo pasamos súper bien.
• Natasha (2/5): - J'avais demandé pour une navette matinale vers l'aéroport. Le chauffeur ne s'est jamais présenté... il a fallut que je demande un uber. Il ne répond pas à mes messages pour me rembourser l'argent que j'avais déjà payé pour la navette.
• YUSUKE (7/5): A wild experience while still indoors. - The location was great. The staff were good too. Breakfast was included. There were lots of ants in the room—on the desk and even on the bed—so it felt like being in nature even while indoors. Because there were so many ants in the room, I thought it might have the benefit of preventing bed bugs. The staff member who was there around 3 p.m. the day after I stayed could not properly manage guests’ stay schedules, and even though I had already paid for my accommodation, I was almost forced to leave. The hot water in the shower was not stable.
• Mireia (8/5): - Relació qualitat preu
• Urszula (10/5): Dobry do pracy zdalnej - Miły personel. Podstawowe, ale wystarczające śniadanie. Dobrze wyposażona kuchnia. Czysto. Dobra lokalizacja.
• Esteban (7/5): -
• Kei Nok (4/5): NO HOT WATER…. But everything else was fine - Breakfast, locations, the staff are good No hot water, which is a dealbreaker
• Daniella (10/5): -
• Jillian (10/5): - Great location & very helpful & friendly staff. It was peaceful and safe and staff did everything possible to make me comfortable, from extra blankets to letting me keep my bags all day in the locker & hang around after check-out Breakfast could be improved upon but it wasn't very important to me. There was coffee so I was happy.
• Aubrielle (10/5): Great place! - Super friendly staff, decent breakfast (cereal, toast, bananas, pineapple). The beds in dorms had great privacy with walls and curtains. A bit of a walk to the bus stations.
• Waldo (7/5): -
• Andrew (7/5): -
• Catarina (5/5): 47$ que não valeram muito a pena no geral - A simpatia dos funcionários é o conforto da cama. Muito ruidoso á noite ou seja é praticamente impossível dormir porque todos batem com as portas e conversam á noite. Mesmo com tampões de ouvido é possível ouvir barulhos altos. Não existe água quente e estava uma noite super fria.. A janela do quarto dava para o dormitório e nao era possível fechar a janela portanto não havia privacidade nenhuma..

• Edison Ezequiel (10/5): Buena relación precio/calidad - Limpieza Nada
• Ruben (8/5): Très agréable - Cette auberge de jeunesse est très agréable avec sa cuisine bien équipé et son billard. Les douches étaient propres ainsi que les toilettes. Le linge de lit était tâché malheureusement.
• melanie color (8/5): Muy buena estadía, se descansa bien y tranquilo - El desayuno es bueno, el hostal es limpio y de un ambiente agradable y el barrio seguro

• Marin (9/5): アットホームな宿！ - スタッフがとても優しい。キッチンが清潔。早くからチェックインできた。周辺は治安が良いらしい。朝ごはんは7:30からシリアル、フルーツ、コーヒー、ティー 中心地から少し遠いが、周りはおしゃれなエリア
• D.T (5/5): Good location, needs cleaning - The free breakfast and good location in barrio Escalante My pillow smelled really bad and the pillow cover was stained with the previous person’s boogers. The sheets were not clean nor was the floor. My bed had various hairs and the floor had random dirt all over it.
• SHINTARO (9/5): 値段。 - 値段。朝飯付きでこの値段は良すぎる。ホットシャワー。 朝飯はシャボいものではなく、パン、バター、コーヒー、コーンフルーク、オートミール、ミルク、バナナ、パイナップルと豪華。 シャワーの排水溝が毎日詰まっていたので少しずつしか水を出せなかった。 深夜0時を過ぎてもスマホを大音量で流すゲストが多かった。ほぼ毎晩そうだったように思える。 ゲスト個人のマナーでもあるが、多少はホステルが注意を促す事も必要。
