I stayed here as it was close to the Coca Cola bus station and I had an early bus. This is a great old eclectic building with 15' ceilings and a great lobby. The price is right. I shared a room with other travelers. Due to being close to the main road, it was a little loud, but very tolerable.... More

I had to stay a few more days in San Jose for a passport lost, and this hostel was a very good choice. First i booked for a single room, with private bathroom, very clean, with TV cable, but the next time i had to use the shared dorms. It was really cheaper and i had no problem, the other... More

Reading the 5 star reviews makes me feel like I stayed at a different hostel than everyone else. I will definitely say that the place has fun decor and an artistic vibe. The guy at the front desk was also pretty nice and helpful. Other then that, I really will not stay at this place again (as a matter of... More

Very chill vibes here. Good music , sweet art , cozy beds , warm smiles and extremely affordable . Highly reccommend it :)

I had to come back from the beach to spend one night in San Jose for a quick business. A friend recommended Aldea's single room on the second floor.

Aldea, however proved to be a nice escape from the rest of the city. The dorms & common area were clean... the small breakfast was nice...... More

Good place to stay for a dorm room, it's only 6 dollars. But, if you get a private room for 38, it's overpriced. And, the hot water didn't work one out of the three times I have stayed in a private room. The computers are nice, and they have three of them. Also, there is free and fast WiFi as... More

In my opinion Costa Rica is not one of the best countries in Central America, however, as we were crossing Central America overland ... we were forced to spend a night in the capital San Jose. We decided to spend the night in this Hostel for being next to the bus terminal to the next destination and have good references.... More
