Guest Reviews

• Shaked (6/5): Pleasant -
• Giovanni (8/5): Very good -
• Thechiski (1/5): .5 stars - Nothing That place is falling apart there’s broken stuff everywhere (like light switches, toilet seats, lockers, etc) mold, garbage, the bed is very uncomfortable and it’s dirty en generalthe whole place. The staff were not very friendly, informative, or helpful. It was the worst experience I have ever had.
• Marderey (7/5): Good -
• Mata (8/5): Very good -
• Rachel (6/5): Meh - I liked that the rooms were big and spacious The breakfast was a bit of a let down and the kitchen was not the cleanest
• Demian (1/5): Bad - Good location. There was music played in the night, so you coudn't really sleep. The bathrooms were falling appart, drain not working so it was under water. Kitchen was super dirty.
• Eudy (10/5): Exceptional -
• Álvaro (8/5): Very good -
• Enrico (8/5): Very good -
• Rivera (7/5): Good -
• Sofiia (6/5): Pleasant - Location was good and that’s it… not very clean
• Pachamama (10/5): Exceptional - IT IS A VERY GOOD ACCOMMODATION, THE LOCATION IS PERFECT FOR STAYING IN SAN JOSE, IN ADDITION TO BEING VERY CLEAN, THE STAFF IS EXCELLENT, HOW CENTRAL AND HOW CLEAN IT IS, IT MAY BE ONE OF THE BEST IN SAN JOSE
• Pop (8/5): Nice spacious room - We paid a little bit more but the room with garden view is spacious, clean and nice. The bed and towels were clean. The coffee was good.Location is nice , safe and not far from centre. The receptionist attitude is not too good.We arrived on heavily rain and asked for 5 minutes in the room to put everything away and pay after, but he didn't allow us. Interested only to get the money , no information about anything, we needed to ask him and he was not happy to talk . There are ants in the room. Very basic and a little breakfast ( bread with margarine, jam, and peanutbutter) the coffee is good. Would be good to have some hangers or a shelf in the room .
• Mónica (6/5): Pleasant - Location: safe and quiet neighbourhood, facing a small park, which is perfect if you're traveling with pets. They allow dogs. Room was very basic, but clean and spacious. Good communication with host; he is friendly and helpful. A very basic breakfast is included.
• Kristen (10/5): Exceptional - Such a great spot, especially for the price. Locations amazing, its a super safe area of town. Staff are so kind, and constantly working to keep it clean. I particularly liked how many different places inside and outside there are to have a bit of privacy for working, and of course steady wifi.
• Heimburger (7/5): Good -
• Olvin (3/5): Poor -
• Joy (9/5): A good place to stay - Curtains! Female dorms! Breakfast! Reasonably clean, especially in the female dorm room. The location is good; not right in the middle of museums and historic things but it’s walkable. Restaurants are nearby.
• Glen (1/5): Bad -
• Nascimento (7/5): Good - Good cost-benefit Breakfast
• Perez (10/5): Exceptional - Yes lovely Nothing
• Kisha (6/5): This was good in an emergency and the service was excellent. The cleaning staff that comes in the morning to clean and c - Very Pretty. The area that it is located in is very very safe and has conveniences located nearby. The kitchen has two ranges. I met some very friendly people in my room. To the auntie who made me breakfast every morning thank you so much for your hospitality. It was like having my grandmother back with me again. I got my confidence back. No ac anywhere and the women’s dorms have no key to lock from the outside. Also the floors are always very dirty and are not mopped (except for the bathroom in the morning around 9. Towels are a charge of ¢1,000 and you can’t wash them unless you want to pay $8 a load. They advertise hot water, but it only comes in the morning and only if you turn the water pressure very very low. Turning the water pressure to a normal volume will turn off the hot water. Also, the front door is not locked.
• Cristiano (5/5): Passable - price attitude of receptionist and cooking lady. Not the cleanest place, only cold water
• Vero (10/5): Super confortable - Super limpio amplio y luminoso. Espectacular la gente del staff
• Mihail (8/5): Good place to stay in a nice neighborhood of San Jose - Great location, nice and safe neighborhood, plenty of places to eat nearby in the Escalante area. The staff was great, very friendly and welcoming. Very good value for the money. Not all showers had hot water. I wasn't given a tour of the facilities when I checked in.
• Helen (5/5): Nice location, comfortable bed, pleasant guests - Had double room with private bathroom. Room size great and bed clean and comfortable. Ladies who work there cleaning and cooking breakfast are very pleasant and helpful. Good areas for socialising and cooking. Quiet sofa area upstairs. When I arrived guy looked surprised at double room with private bathroom ( i arrived about 8.30pm). When he showed me to the room I asked where my bathroom was he showed me the bathroom on the landing and showed me how to lock it for private access. Not the greatest having to leave room to use my bathroom Didn't realise until later that was normally a shared bathroom and hadn't been cleaned. Guy was not around so i cleaned it myself. I had left a small bag at the hostel previously and when I asked him for it he said he couldn't remember me giving it to him. I asked another guy who seems to work there and he pulled it out from under the reception desk so it had been there over a week and not stored anywhere secure. Main guy not very friendly and had a poor attitude. Asked him to book me a taxi for 2pm and thought he'd done it. I double checked at 1.45 although he wasn't around and had to ask someone to check with him. lucky i did as he then booked it. Other people that work there are very friendly. Him not so
• Helen (7/5): Very friendly guests - Breakfast was ok, could have been hotter though. Lot of communal space for socialising and quiet sofa area upstairs too. No handholds for getting into top bunks making it awkward, especially during the night . Insufficient lockers in dorm room ( only 3 for 6 bunks) so bags left open in side room
• Caitlin (7/5): Nice rooms - good value for money - The beds in the dorms rooms are very private and comfortable. Wifi connections was good. The bathroom was nice and big, but could probably do with a makeover. The mirror was tarnished, the handles of the faucet was broken. Really nice hostel, but freshening up the bathroom would be good!
• Jsachmet (9/5): Superb - Good location, clean room with nice staff. Uncomfortable beds, too soft matraces.
• Acutus (10/5): Ok - Close from my last destination Didn't offer any towels for shower
• James (2/5): Very poor - Bed was comfortable. We booked a private room in the hostel and arrived at 8pm, were told to wait 5 minutes but ended up waiting 45 minutes for our room to be ready, we were then driven a kilometre to a different building where we would be staying, no kitchen at this building so we had to walk 15 minutes back to our hostel to use the facilities, in the morning we needed an Uber to get the free breakfast because of our luggage... Would have been nice to know when we booked.
• Quintanilla (9/5): Superb - Meals Privacy
• Kamal (10/5): Exceptional -
• Larissa (6/5): Pleasant - The hostel is located in a quite area and is not too far from City Centre. The staff is nice, but some of then not speak english. The guy who did my check-in did not ofer bath towel and blanket, I almost get frozen in the first night. Anyway, they are kind. Commucation.
• Sanya (1/5): Bad - Nothing They overbooked our room, so that we were not able to stay and had to look for another hotel in the evening. They try to make money by booking several people in the same room.
• Emma (8/5): Good but would use some improvements - -The secondary house is actually nice, good privacy. - Liked the kitchen where it gives you the ability to be independent even though it could be more plentiful. - Good location - Good quality/price ratio. - Nice area to chill -The room has serious incident hazard, like a burnt wire. Connections are pretty bad, the walls are strangely made- obviously not professional work. -The foosball table needs fixing! As stupid as it sounds, we actually chose this hostel over others for the table. Even though it was fun to play with legless players etc. For 2min. - Breakfast is pretty good (it's pinto) but definitely not enough.
• Vidal (8/5): Value for money - The breakfast was great addition to comfortable beds that were availbale. Felt safe & secure of withmy belongings. Easy to get to and a supermarket was walking distance if you required things. All Good.
• Angelika (6/5): Pleasant - Clean room and the bathroom was shared with one room so basically it was nearly private The breakfast was a joke. And we chose the hostel only because of the included breakfast. Only some beans soup and one egg which you needed to prepare by yourself. It is fine to prepare your own breakfast but it was too little anyway.
• Tatiana (9/5): Nice place to Share your cultural knowledge - Locación No tengo comentarios, solo literalmente dormí y permanecí unas horas allí
• Baset (3/5): Stay somewhere else - Cheap It is a dull place. Honestly nitging god to say about.
• Silvia (7/5): Good - The staff was very kind and let us in the room early when we arrived in the morning before checkin, which was a great help. There is a kitchen and a nice common area. There is an ants plague everywhere, in the bathroom, in the room etc. We saw a huge cockroach ON the bed one evening when we arrived. There are few bathrooms for so many people and they often lack toilet paper.
• Odein (6/5): Pleasant -
• Max (8/5): After a long waiting for check in the experience was good. - Location, price. Check in long process
• Matthew (8/5): Very good - Was just there for one night but room was nice enough. Quiet area and good breakfast and coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful
• Martin (4/5): You get what you pay for - The location is nice, safe neighborhood Staff could be more friendly, place lacks maintenance and cleanliness, dorm was smelly
• Cam (3/5): Not pleasant - Good mattresses and has breakfast Bad staff, nothing was cean. I reserved a room for 6, and they put me in a room of 10. I don't recommend this place, although it comes with breakfast I wouldn't say here again.
• Daniel (7/5): Good -
• Simone (7/5): Good -
• Nilka (8/5): Very good -
• Graham (9/5): Excellent budget choice - A clean, comfortable, well-appointed hostel with breakfast included at this rice is ridiculous - grab it. Spacious kitchen and dining room and good restaurants nearby.
• Hayley (5/5): Ok for the price and in good location, could do with a thorough clean - Great location and ok for the price Mould all over the back of the door to the room, the room it self was big and comfy bed. Kitchen was a little dirty with flies around the food left out.
