Guest Reviews

• Karocy (7/5): - Espaces communs spacieux et agréables Dortoir vétuste Le parking n'est pas gratuit quand on réserve un lit dans un dortoir ce qui n'est pas précisé sur le site ( gratuit quand on réverse une chambre). 10$ supplémentaires demandés que j'ai pu négocier finalement.
• Freddy (10/5): Excelente ubicación - siempre es un lugar limpio que puedes encontrar cerca de la sabana. n/a
• Robin (2/5): Only if you‘re on a budget and/or short-term stay - Close to subway, cheap including breakfast in decent size (they don’t put you on a diet), incredibly helpful and friendly staff Bathrooms are not clean, especially the showers flood the whole room; people stealing in the hostel; beds were neither clean nor ready when I arrived (evening); I didn’t feel comfortable and checked out early out of a hostel for the first time in my life, even though staying in more than 50 countries already and having basically slept on cockroaches in Africa, I still felt more at ease there instead of this hostel. I gave it a try but I should have listened to the reviews …
• Allana (10/5): Good for the price - Nice breakfast, staff really helpful and the room size was really good
• Tracy (10/5): Beautiful breakfast, beautiful staff, enjoyed my stay thoroughly. - The location was wonderful close to everything. Overcrowded sometimes but manageable.
• Alonso (10/5): - Todo muy bien decorado y limpio Deben poner sabanas de arriba, no frazadas para taparse por encima
• Alexia (10/5): -
• Edson Alberto all (10/5): - La cercanía de la Sabana, la buena atención del personal

• hugo (7/5): -
• Catherine (10/5): -
• Albert (9/5): -
• Fabien (7/5): Parfait pour un bref passage - Les différents espaces pour se poser, la cuisine tout équipée, un bon wifi, le respect des heures de silence dans les espaces communs, l’attention des propriétaires Le manque de lumières d’ambiance dans la chambre, la mauvaise insonorisation, le manque de mise à neuf niveau peinture et autres
• Angélica (9/5): -
• Sol (10/5): Loved my stay! - Great breakfast! Comfy beds! Owners were so sweet and friendly
• Sebastian (8/5): Perfectly comfortable and reasonably priced - Clean environment and the staff were helpful and organised . Comfortable accommodation Nothing to report
• Rojas (10/5): - El local 100℅ recomendable la verdad El personal magnifico te hacen sentir mas comodo en el tiempo de la estadia No hay algo que no te guste la verdad
• Lulu (6/5): -
• Eudy (10/5): -
• Bilmar (9/5): - La atención del personal la calidez y la presentación de la, estructura con un diseño y estilo amplio y acogedor. Falto una bebida que entonce el descanso del cliente.
• Valentina (6/5): War okay - Bequemes Bett mit Fernseher Der starke Putz-/Schimmelmittel-Geruch im Badezimmer.
• Vaidas (8/5): - The staff were great, very helpful and friendly. Breakfast portion was really nice. No problem to leave the bags for the day after check out, lots of space in the room and overall to hang out The beds weren't the most comfortable. Stayed there another night and moved to another room, the bunk bed was wobly
• Alyx (9/5): - Really friendly people staying there A little bit on the expensive side for the private room compard to other places
• Cortland (8/5): -
• Milton (8/5): - El ambiente Na
• Francesca (8/5): -
• Adrián (9/5): Económico, cálido y super amable - La atención por parte del personal fue muy cálida, amable y cordial, me sentí como en casa. Sin dudas volvería a ir solo por la atención. Las habitaciones estaban limpias y ofrecen lo esencial de acuerdo a la calidad-precio. Hay muchos espacios adentro para disfrutrar y pasar tiempo. En general todo cumplió con mis expectativas. Recomendaría llevar siempre tapones para los oídos, me tocó compartir habitación con una persona que roncaba y era muy molesto a la hora de dormir en la noche.
• Mbita (6/5): It was average but ok for the price paid. - I was just there for a night, breakfast was ok. I wasn’t given any key for my room, which was a bit odd, I was there for a night which I guess was ok. The shower and toilet space was so tight, you have to have contact with the toilet to open or close the door. Our room was next to the garage, so noise from the main road, and whenever someone switches on the light in there, our room would get bright in the night.
• Olivia (10/5): Ein Hostel zum Wohlfühlen - In diesem Hostel fühlt man sich einfach wohl, da die Mitarbeiter so freundlich und zuvorkommend sind und die gesamte Atmosphäre durch die gemütlichen Sofas und die Helligkeit sehr einladend ist. Alles ist sauber, die Lage gut und der Preis angemessen. Auch das inklusive Frühstück war mega lecker.
• Tommaso (10/5): - Staff molto disponibile e ambiente molto curato
• Steven (6/5): -
• Joachim (9/5): - Leckeres Frühstück, alle Angestellten sehr nett und hilfsbereit , Wasserspender zur freien Verfügung
• Misael Abisai (9/5): - Excelente lugar y personal muy amable, aseado y ambiente familiar muy agradable. El desayuno super rico y nutritivo. El baño de la habitación compartida está fuera del cuarto.
• Arianne Jeanne (10/5): - Although I booked a female dorm, the room is clean. The bathroom is also clean with hot showers. They also provide various options for the free breakfast. Will definitely book again if I’ll be back in San Jose.
• YU (8/5): - 很感謝接待的女士協助更換房型及前台人員友善且提供交通有用的資訊，公共空間寬敞舒適，作為中繼站的休憩點性價比高 衛浴沒有熱水
• Bouchard (6/5): -
• Naslyn (8/5): -
• Alperen (9/5): - Good location and breakfast, friendly and polite staff. The beds were comfortable as well. I am not sure if it's the case for all the showers, but the one that I used did not have any hot water.
• kouichi (7/5): -
• Luis (10/5): Good ! - N/A N/A
• Pedro Americo (9/5): - Quarto muito bom Nada a declarar
• Lena (8/5): - Comfy bed and good included breakfast. The room didn't have a window, the facilities are old, but functional.
• Espin Barrera (10/5): Review - Spacious common areas and the integration of natural fauna in the hostel makes it very good! That I couldn't stay longer at the Hostel, maybe I'll be able to spend more time the next time I visit.
• Katty (10/5): -
• sandra (9/5): Carmen was the kindest - Comfy Clean They arrange trips and walks for us
• Gabriel (5/5): - La ubicación me parece estratégica, muchas cosas cercana y varias rutas de acceso La limpieza
• Clare (10/5): - Liked everything. I had a private room & bathroom which worked well for me. The hostel has about 5 lounging areas. I ended up extending my stay. Also just a short walk from the buses that go to Nosara. I walked this at night & felt safe. I'd stay again for sure.
• Callum (9/5): -
• Evelyn (10/5): -
• K (3/5): 安く泊まりたい人向け - スタッフがフレンドリー。セキュリティはしっかりしていた。 部屋が窓もなく監獄のようだった。またランドリーサービスをお願いしたが、予定日に仕上がっていなかったのと、洗い方も雑で洗剤が残っていたり、乾いてないものをあり最悪でした。
• Daniela (10/5): - Me encantó hospedarme en Gaudy’s Hostel. La ubicación es excelente, muy conveniente para moverse por San José. El lugar es muy bonito, bien cuidado y con un ambiente agradable. Todo estuvo limpio y cómodo, lo que hizo mi estancia aún mejor. Sin duda lo recomendaría y volvería otra vez.
• Pauline (8/5): Très bon rapport qualité / prix . Personnel agréable et à l’écoute. Pour l’hygiène ça reste une auberge - Très bon accueil, bel espace convivial Propreté non optimale liée à l’utilisation de la cuisine par les usagers
• Rita (9/5): - My room was totally empty and had it all for myself! Staff were very nice and agreed to store my luggage.
• Caleb (10/5): The people make it feel like home - We arrived in the morning after missing our bus and the hosts allowed us into our room right away for only $2 extra fee. We told them we wouldn’t need breakfast as we had to be out early, but they made a point of preparing breakfast early for us so we could eat before leaving. Far more accommodating than I would expect from any host. Thank you Gaudy’s.
• pavel (3/5): Не советую это место - Ничего не понравилось Все настолько плохо и убого что не хотелось оставаться в этом месте но не было выбора поздней ночью. В отдельном номере сильно воняет, противно принимать душ, стены картонные и очень шумно из соседнего заведения
• Femke (6/5): Prima ontbijt en om een nachtje te verblijven - Dat we konden slapen bij aankomst en een prima ontbijt kregen. Kenneth is een fijne host! Ventilator kapot, kamers sumier ingericht, ramen kunnen niet volledig dicht, sloten werken niet of slecht
• Conrado (8/5): -
• Steve (7/5): Decent - I stayed here for one afternoon about 4 hours as is very close to the TICA bus station. Staff was helpful and the price was right. The room I was in had a comfy bed. Had a nice vibe and other guests were friendly. The shower and bathroom area seem a bit dirty. There was no hand towel to dry hands after washing even tho I asked the front desk several times. Road noise was pronounced.
• Jérémy (7/5): - Insonorisation (on entend tout comme s´il n´y avait pas de mur, un homme a crié presque toute la nuit dans la rue) Petit déjeuner ( pas si bon que la description nous laissait penser)
• Luka (10/5): -
• Magaly (10/5): -
• Sebastian (8/5): Very comfortable - Very helpful staff Clean throughout Reasonably priced Nothing to mention
• JK ' (8/5): Casa Bella - Helpful staff. Beautiful house with lots of spacious common areas. Useful kitchen. Good free breakfast options. Steel bunks a bit squeaky. Power at each bunk & curtain on lower ones. Towel costs extra. Quite close to Tica Bus 10 blocks to Centro
• Nele (9/5): Perfect after arriving late at the airport - Just stayed here after arriving late at the airport and left the next morning pretty early. Can’t say much, but staff was very helpful, clean room and bathroom, good breakfast. /
• Nicole (8/5): Excelente, pero se puede mejorar - Desayuno excelente, ubicación estratégica todos los buses pasan por allí y es bastante cómodo caminar por allí. Personal 10 de 10, servicio 10 de 10 La cama se hundía y se quedó así todo el tiempo de mi estancia y eso que no me quedé todo el tiempo acostada, me quedaba la mayor parte del día afuera y volvía en la tarde y aún así la cama no volvía a la normalidad (peso 94lb)
• Dariah (9/5): Würde erneut im Gaudy’s übernachten. - Freundliches, aufmerksames und hilfsbereites Personal. 24-Stunden verfügbar. Ordentliche Unterkunft, mit schönen Aufenthaltsbereichen. Nettes gemeinsames Frühstück. Die Matratzen sind teils schon etwas durchgelegen und die Bettgestelle machen ein leises Auf- und Absteigen leider kaum möglich.
• Sabina (10/5): -
• Charly (10/5): -
• JOHN MULLER (10/5): Buen lugar , céntrico - Todo bonito , lugar céntrico Todo ok
• Dario (8/5): -
• Lucia (7/5): -
• Emma (9/5): -
• Anna (10/5): -
• Gerlinde (9/5): - Die Unterkunft als solche ist aufgrund der Freundlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit sämtlicher MitR Eiter außergewöhnlich. Man merkt an jedem Detail, daß es das erstrebenswert der Inhaberin ist, es dem Gast nicht nur so angenehm zu machen, sondern ihm bei allen Fragestellungen zur Verfügung zu stehen. Auch die Sauberkeit der sehr gut ausgestatteten Gemeinschaftsküche ist außergewöhnlich. Allein, weil das Zimmer als solches ziemlich klein und einfach war, keine 10 Punk
• peter (5/5): Un buen si necesitas estar cerca de Paseo Colon, pero no esperen habitaciones lujosos por este precio… - Esta bien situado a 2 calles de Paseo Colon. La sala central esta bien igual que el desayuno. Las habitaciones son pequeños, algo cutres y ruidosos.

• Mirosław (10/5): -

• Tyche (7/5): -
• Peña Ruiz (10/5): Salida de apuros - La ubicación es perfecta y la relación de costo beneficio en la zona es uno de los mejores Nada
• Meooow (10/5): Great Value and Outstanding Hospitality - Such a great experience! The gaudy's hotel is super clean, smells fresh, and feels very relaxing. The staff made us feel welcome from check-in to check-out. Thank you for the excellent service. We will surely return Maybe a little noise upstair with other guest, because our rooms was under so you will basically heard their footsteps.
• nathaniel (10/5): -
• Miguel (10/5): Buen lugar - Ubicación y atención
• Meshi (10/5): מקסימים - המארחת מקסימה המקום עם אווירה נעימה וארוחת הבוקר הייתה מעולה. יש סופר קרוב וכספומט. יש לשים לב שהאיזור בלילה אינו בטוח והמארחת הזהירה אותי
• marelyn (7/5): -
• vidhi (4/5): Never coming back - Location is right in the middle of the city .20-30 mins from airport. We chose the place as we had a real early flight and were there only a few hours . The bed was comfy . Water shower was hot and good pressure . Found a cockroach in the bathroom upon entry.
