This place has everything going for it, but the greatest value is the guidance and travel tips the friendly family/staff have to offer.

After flying in and taking the bus to San Jose, we had a hard time finding this hostel. We asked many of the locals and still had a very difficult time. The staff was kind enough, but our plans changed and we weren't refunded our room for our second night even though we didn't stay (but they did follow their... More

Stayed here two times overnight and was quite happy with it. It was very clean, and in a safe neighborhood. Even the shared bathrooms were immaculate. The facilities are nice and comfortable, and the owners are hospitable, and breakfast is tasty. The owners will give you tons of advice and help you with pretty much anything you ask! The only...

The hostel is an oasis of friendliness and rest in the rowdy city of San Jose. It has a very nice common area, a... More

We stayed here for 3 nights over the new year. Hostel staff were super helpful - the airlines lost my bags and given that it was the new year holiday, it was impossible to contact them on the status of bag tracking. The hostel staff were extremely helpful in tracking the status of my bags while I was out exploring... More
