Relax Hostel

Was empty when I was there so not too much of an atmosphere! Volunteers were really nice, and the venue is a lovely building, I would probably recommend keeping the kitchen and fridges in a more organised and cleaner way! Overall nice stay!

I stayed at this hostel when I arrived and again before leaving costa rica. I first chose this hostel for its location and the vibe of the website, you can truly feel the owner wants to help and be there for its clients. I got the chance to talk with the owner and he was very entertaining, resourceful and helpful. Thanks for everything.

This hostel is really chill like in smoking weed kinda vibes people, but everyone eas really nice and I liked the vibes. Location close to a park and the center :)

We liked the common kitchen and the free breakfast. The shower had warm water. Unfortunately, the traffic outside was very loud so that we didn't sleep too well.

Situated in a very good location. Comfy beds! cleaning can be much better, this was the only down part. Overall i had a great stay in this hostel. Enjoy it!

There is booklice everywhere in the property and in the rooms and were even crawling in our bags and it felt very discusting. On of the other guys also had some crawling on his computer in his bed. When we told the staff about it they sprayed something and wiped it off which doesnt do anything long term and they did not really say they would do anything. The only good thing was that they us our money back quikly.

We felt very welcomed and it was a good stay for 1 night as we were in and out. It’s a shame our private room felt like a cupboard and had random holes and cobwebs everywhere so it just felt unclean. They do provide free pancakes and the kitchen looked fully equipped. It’s unfortunately just a very run down building.

this is a great hostel, super cosy and chill vibes. the staff are always very welcoming and helpful, especially the owner. also the free breakfast is amazing! have been to this hostel 3 times now and will keep coming back everytime i pass through san josé

Super nice and chill hostel. I liked the female only dorm option and the pancake breakfast is a great touch. The common areas are very cozy, would recommend.

no lo recomiendo

My visit to Relax Hostel in San José was absolutely magical. Upon arrival, I was greeted with unparalleled warmth, making me feel like royalty. The staff were beyond friendly, providing personalized service that made my stay unforgettable. The rooms were a haven of comfort, impeccably clean and exquisitely designed. The ambiance of the hostel was a blend of tranquility and luxury, offering a perfect escape. Truly, this experience set a new standard for perfection.

The staff here are so friendly and the pancake breakfast was lovely. I just disliked the hostel so much. It's too dark and dingey. The kitchen in the evening was awful, though it was cleaned and looked much better afterwards. Hot showers but the cream curtains in the bathroom were pretty much black. So much dirt on the windows. A fresh lick of paint and a good scrub would do this place some good. Beds were comfy and front gate is locked so felt safe, but wouldn't recommend! Sorry!

Overall exactly what we needed.

The breakfast was good and the staff was nice but they honestly didn’t really know a lot. The towels they gave us were smelly and wet and the bed sheets didn’t seem fresh. The bathroom wasn’t clean either and there’s a lot of noise coming from the street. We woke up every morning at around 5 am due to outside noise or even noise inside the hostel.

Chill hostel met een relaxte host Mike! Hij heeft goede tips voor de omgeving en maakt elke ochtend lekkere pancakes als ontbijt. De locatie is misschien niet het allerbest voor stadscentrum en leuke barretjes, en ‘s avonds niet echt chill op straat. Maar alles met de Uber is prima

Everything I expected and more.

Good atmosphere and friendly staff. Good selection of restaurants nearby.

Buen servicio por parte del personal que atiende, amables en todo momento, dan consejos para el viaje, el desayuno muy bueno y buen precio por lo que ofrecen.

perfect hostel for overnight stay if heading to airport. friendly, chill, help you organize a tour, owner is very helpful and makes sweet pancakes

Très bonne ensemble ! J'ai beaucoup aimé mon séjour. Merci
