A beautiful hostel, feels more like a boutique hotel. Or a home away from home. Everything is so pretty and sparkling clean. Delicious breakfast. Great location. And the host and staff are absolutely lovely, they really look after you. Could not recommend this place more.
The most reliable upscale hostel/hotel for digital nomads and social backpackers
I liked the fact that the facility provided breakfast and dinner daily at a reasonable price. I enjoyed the location of my private room which was about 20 ft from the pool area. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable about the tours that were suggested during my stay. For the price you can't beat this hostel, but it's not in the best area. Overall, I would definitely stay here again. I was a little emotional during check out today. Will be back Costa Rica Backpackers!
I spent a week at this hostel and really enjoyed my stay. The staff was very personable and helpful. Per other's comments about the house being older, it is true but everything worked well and the wifi was excellent. Adored the coffee! The hostel was cleaned daily and throughout the day. Excellent resources available on buses, attractions, tours etc. Neighborhood was safe and near the university so a good variety of restaurants nearby.
The hostel is in a great location - walking distance from lots of restaurants. We felt very safe. The staff were friendly and helpful.
I was looking for a quiet few last days before flying home and this hostel was the perfect vibe for that! Super comfy and quiet private room, great location in a safe neighborhood to walk around and explore, good food options nearby… the kitchen is also well stocked with appliances and utensils, and there’s a beautiful patio to relax / hang out.
one of the best hostels I've stayed, clean, curtains, good vibes, helpful staff, nice kitchen, great location. favourite place i stayed in san jose
This place was fine for one night & is great for backpackers on a budget but I think I'm a little old for hostels now 😂 Great location, good value
