Lost for words but no one working there when I arrived and people sleeping all over the floor in the common areas. I hope this was a one time thing due to the concerts and they “accidentally” overbooked. Left immediately.
O pior atendimento da minha vida. A casa é boa, mas é mal administrada. Lucas é grosseiro e mal-educado com os hóspedes. A cozinha não tem utensílios suficientes para todos os hóspedes. Não há locker para todos. Pode ter um disponível ou não. Muito desorganizado.
The worst service I've ever had. the house is good, but it's poorly managed. lucas is rude and rude to guests. the kitchen doesn't have enough utensils for all guests. there's no locker for everyone. there may be one available or not. very disorganized.
This hostel is a disaster! The dorm is terribly dirty, with broken door and a window with silk that never gets closed, so the dorm gets very cold at night and the smells of cigarettes/weed from smokers outside gets in the dorm beside the loud voice from outside and lights from cars. Bathrooms are terrible, one does not have hot water and the other which have hot water has the cold water tab in shower broken, so you either shower with cold water in the cold water bathroom or boil in the other!
DO NOT BOOK!!! On arrival the staff were rude and we couldn’t pay by card as it states online. Once we brought cash they didn’t have any change and didn’t seem interested. We arrived at 5pm (2 hours after check in time) and the room was not ready! The beds weren’t made and they came in sweeping mess up. The door of the room would not even shut properly, not secure at all. The lights in the bathroom wouldn’t work, the kitchen was totally unclean constantly. Also showers were freezing co...
Personnel nonchalant, pas de bonjour, aucune présentation de l’auberge… Le dortoir était sale et ne correspondait pas à ce que j’ai payé (dortoir de 6 personnes au lieu de 4). Présence de cafards dans la salle de bain qui était vétuste et ne semblait pas être bien nettoyé, tout comme la cuisine sale et en mauvais état Je ne recommande absolument pas, à fuir.
The dorm was filthy and did not match what I paid for (dormitory for 6 instead of 4). presence of cockroaches in the bathroom which was old and did not seem to be cleaned properly, as well as the filthy and in bad condition kitchen I absolutely do not recommend, to run away.
Les pido la devolución de mi deposito ya que no pudieron alojarme por falta de espacio
I ask for the return of my deposit as you could not accommodate me due to lack of space
I choose this hostel because I wanted something cheap since I was only staying for a night. When we arrived there was no personal, we had to call him and only then did he arrive after some minutes. You can’t pay with card even though the app says so, the personal also didn’t have any computer or whatsoever, so I had to show him my reserve in my phone. I think the room we chose was overbooked, so we where driven to another hostel (which was actually really nice)
Horrendous. I arrived, had to wait 45min for them to tell me that the private room I booked had flooded so they put me (female solo traveler) in a male dorm. Some of the beds did not have curtains anymore and the bathrooms were dirty and broken. All the lockers in the dorm were occupied and I was not allowed to use them. Staff does not speak English. People were sleeping on the sofas in the common areas.
Het hostel was erg oud, helemaal geen faciliteiten, de kamers konden niet eens op slot en je had nergens plek om je bagage op te bergen. Verder was alleen gewoon heel slordig
The hostel was very old, no facilities at all, the rooms couldn't even be locked and you had nowhere to store your luggage.
Franchement je ne recomande pas aux filles. J'ai vraiment eu peur, il y avait un homme vraiment bizarre, un client, qui rodait dans l'auberge. Il me fixait avec intensité. Le dortoir des filles ne se fermait pas. C'etait une mezannine qui donnait directement sur le dortoir des garçons. Autrement dit les hommes passaient dans mon dortoir pour aller dans leur leur. Nous partagions la salle de bain. Bref, pas cher, personnel sympa, mais à mon sens : pas sécurisant.
Frankly I don't recommend girls. I was really scared, there was a really weird man, a customer, who was crawling around the hostel. He was staring at me intensely. The girls' dorm didn't close. It was a mezzanine that looked directly at the boys' dorm. In other words, the men would pass through my dorm to go to theirs. We shared the bathroom. Briefly, cheap, nice staff, but in my opinion: not safe.

This is a fine hostel. Nothing crazy special. But the bed was cozy and the showers were nice and private. However they only take cash which is inconvenient, you should take card! It’s a quiet hostel which is good for a nights sleep but if you’re looking atmosphere it wasn’t really here
curtians on beds and nice areas to chill

Positiv ist der niedrige Preis und für ein/zwei Nächte ist es auch okay, aber man hört im Zimmer die ganze zeit ca alle 30 Sekunden ein piepen, außerdem lief in der Dusche durchgehend die ganze zeit das Wasser. Wir haben es auch gemeldet aber niemand hat sich drum gekümmert. Das Personal war absolut unmotiviert aber nicht unfreundlich. Es gab im ganzen Zimmer nicht einen Spiegel und in der Ecke vom Bad hat es geschimmelt. Der Kühlschrank war viel zu klein und roch schon beim Öffnen gammel...
The positive is the low price and for one/two nights it is also okay, but you hear a beeper in the room all the time about every 30 seconds, besides running water through the shower all the time. we also reported it but no one took care of it. the staff was absolutely unmotivated but not unfriendly. there was no mirror in the whole room and it was moldy in the corner of the bathroom. the cooler was too small and the closet was already old.
The hostel is very basic with good customer service. Everything is very clean and there is good internet service. It is well located in an area with nice parks and green spaces. It is within easy walking distance of the San Pedro Mall and a convenience store, AM/PM nearby for fruit, sandwiches and toiletries.
Very nice staff, quick service and clean facilities.
If you’re an adult looking to stay in San Jose for a bit, this hostel has the best energy/ambience. People in this hostel actually want to stay and see San Jose rather than just stop through on the way to Fortuna or Tamarindo. The owner/host is the main employee, and he’s much chiller and nicer than employees at other hostels in the area. The main downside is it’s a bit more out of the way than, say, Backpackers or Guesthouse. But vibes are actually chill, rather than pretend “pura ...
Stayed in a private room and had a good experience. It was very clean, secure, and pretty central. Bed was a bit hard for my taste but my partner who likes a firmer bed loved it. The staff was super flexible and very helpful and kind, but sometimes there weren’t enough front desk staff, so we had to wait a bit if we needed something from the front desk. Friends who stayed in the dorms (in a separate building) didn’t have a great experience. I’d recommend booking the private rooms.
Vi stannade bara här för en kväll för att ha någonstans att sova innan flyget. Bara några minuter från Hostelet fanns det trevliga restauranger och området kändes tryggt. Hostlet hade ingen kortläsare men mannen i receptionen ordnade så att vi kunde betala med kort ändå!
We only stayed here for one night so we could have somewhere to sleep before flyget. just a few minutes from the hostel there was a nice restaurant and the area is very safe. the hostel had no credit cards but the man at the reception arranged so we could pay by card anyway!

Nice place - very convenient as it is in close proximity to everything. Would easily stay there again.
The rooms and bathroom are very dirty. There are no facilities to make food. The staff were absolutely lovely except they didn't knock before entering our room. There are no locks for the rooms
Prima op alle vlakken!
Excellent in all aspects!
Für den Preis absolut solide Unterkunft. Viele ältere Menschen und Personal nicht zuvorkommend, für kürzere Aufenthalte absolut ausreichend
For the price absolutely solid accommodation. many elderly people and staff not forthcoming, for shorter stays absolutely sufficient

Precio-Calidad está bien, pero el alojamiento no está en el hostal.. está aprox 10 minutos en pie (aunque te dejan en carro allá)
Price-Quality is fine, but the accommodation is not in the hostel.. it's about 10 minutes on foot (although they drop you off by car there)
Its a basic hostel... ok for two or three nights. Rooms are clean but the bathrooms and the kitchen could be nicer.
