+ Ubicación

- *Reservamos habitación privada con baño privado, sin embargo nos comentaron que tenían un problema con esa habitación. Así que nos asignaron otra donde el baño estaba afuera a un lado, pero asegurando que nadie más entraría. Que solo iba a ser para nuestro uso, y aceptamos. Pero no fue así, muchas veces se escuchaba que entraban a usar el baño. *La regadera fue un dolor de cabeza. Solo duraba unos segundos el agua caliente, salía demasiado caliente para luego estar totalmente helada. Le tenías que estar abriendo y cerrando, sin poder lograr la temperatura correcta porque cuando al fin lo hacías, se ponía heladísima. *La cocina se veía poco higiénica.

+ Fui muito bem recebida pela equipe do hostel. O ambiente é agradável. A localização é muito boa. Perto da UCR, do shopping e de restaurantes/bares diversos. Bairro residencial, muito tranquilo para caminhar.

- A noite faz frio em San José e o cobertor oferecido é pequeno, parece cobertor infantil.

+ Excellent staff, beautiful place, and the best breakfast I've ever had at a hostel. They are very active in repairing things that break or make noises. They fixed a light fixture and a noisy bathroom door while I was there.

- The crazy expensive fee when paying with a card. I highly recommend using cash. Ants. Ants everywhere. Ant at the dining tables. Ants in your bed. In your bed everyday.

+ The room was very comfortable and the location is a great spot for San Jose. When we arrived they were very accommodating and allowed for us to check in early. They also gave good recommendations for places to eat. We had an issue with the WiFi not reaching the room but this was resolved by the installation of a router extension. A special thanks to Fredi for his help.
