I really loved my stay! The accommodation was clean and the bed was comfortable, especially after 14 hours on planes! The staff was very friendly!

War ein netter Zwischebstopp bevor ich weiter gefahren bin. Hatte gehofft noch paar Leute kennenzulernen bevor ich gehe, aber leider gab es keinen Social-Vibe. Trotzdem war alles sauber und gepflegt. 😄

Sehr angenehmes Hostel für die Überbrückung in San José, sicherere Gegend als viele andere, 24/7 Rezeption, sehr sauber und bequeme Betten mit Vorhängen.

Einfaches Hostel, hat aber alles was man braucht. Die Küche war leider nicht sehr sauber, das lag aber eher a den Gästen als am Personal. Die Rezeption war super freundlich:)

El dia que llegamos llovía fuerte y estuvimos cerca de 15 minutos afuera del hostel esperando que alguien nos abriera...fue desagradable. La atmósfera es 0, no vimos a casi nadie durante nuestra estadía. En cuanto a la ubicación no la recomiendo ya que no hay nada que hacer. Hay un minimarket y comida rápida. La pieza era como la foto, con ac y toallas. No lo recomiendo si viajas solo.

Strange place, I didn’t see anyone else staying there. The workers didn’t really speak english but were trying their best. They also offer lots of information about the bus schedules and stuff. Overall good place for a night.

I stayed here to be within walking distance to the stadium and it had everything I needed, but wasn’t the most comfortable for the price. The area is quiet but felt a bit sketchy to arrive alone at night, and you must enter/exit through a locked gate, so at times I had to hunt down a staff member to let me out and couldn’t leave freely. Bathrooms are outside separate from the dorm area and didn’t always have hot water. There was a cute cat and cold filtered water.

Really, a great hostel. Clean, plenty of showers and toilets. Love the outdoor sinks! You get sheets, pillow AND a blanket. The bunks are really really roomy and well-appointed with shelving, outlets, a fan and curtains for complete privacy. BUT... it is true that the bunks are open to the rest of the living areas. Wasn't really a problem for me, bc while I was there, it was the quietest hostel, ever! I suggest bringing earplugs & a sleep mask, just in case. Staff was helpful and so friendly.

I stayed for just over a week. Along with the modern, quirky design of the place, I loved the warm hospitality, the community vibe. It’s a perfect, safe location near La Sabana park, trendy cafes, museums, supermarkets and bus stop. I felt totally safe with 24hr security and great concierge services. Highly recommend! 🦋🌸

Das Hostel wurde immer schön sauber gehalten. Klar es ist alles offen und hat keine abgetrennten Räume mit Türen in den Mehrbettzimmer, aber dass wird einem ja ganz schnell klar wenn man bucht und sich die Rezensionen durchliest. Das Personal ist auch sehr nett und stets hilfbereit.

Was a solid hostel, but like other already said the "dorms" are not in rooms and are open to the common area. there are large lockers for your stuff so that's not a problem. there was almost Noone here when I was there (off season) but during the main season It will be louder most likely.

La Capital staff made the stay wonderful! They were extremly friendly & accomodating. Our only complaints were that the shower water could not get hot and you can hear everything even when in your own room with the door shut - it was difficult to fall asleep to loud clients, but that’s not the hostel’s fault. It’s a 45 minute walk from the city center & only a 30 minute drive to the airport. Overall, we would stay here again!

The layout is very open, but it’s nice! There are no doors for the dorms, it opens into the hall. The outdoor area is a nice area to hangout. The employees are very kind and helpful.
