I have stayed at this hostel quite a few times since the start of 2012. I keep going back and having had some quite different stays there I am now starting to weigh up whether I actually think it is worth the extra money over other hostels in San Jose (of which I have been to about 5 others). Starting... More

More of a hotel with dorm rooms. You have to walk through the restaurant to get to the bathroom. Right on a busy junction of Paseo Colon so it's really noisy. Electronic room keys stopped working after 1/2hr and the front door is kept locked - that's great for safety but when there's no one on the front desk (often)... More

This was my first time at a hostel, so I didn't have anything to compare it to. I would definitely stay here again. The first night I stayed in a room with my son (14) in a six bed dorm, the second night we moved to another six bed dorm with an attached bathroom. The rooms were basic but very... More

This hostel is one of the best I have seen. It was so nice to pay a little extra and have a great double room, with a good breakfast, with a great bathroom, and a big screen tv. The beds were good quality, shower had hot water, and they provided great soaps and shampoo. The hostel was very clean and... More

The hostel and staff were awesome. Other guests were interesting. The information about the city and tours were very helpful since I had never been to Costa Rica.

They have an upstairs open air seating area and chairs and couches are all throughout the hotel to find your own spot. They also have a... More

Lo mismo pensaron mis amigos alemanes con quienes estaba, ademas 14 dolares por una cama en dormitorio... More

The rooms, from the elegant entrance, large gathering space and open veranda to the large private rooms and spacious baths were beautiful, clean and well designed. On comfort and style this is an extraordinary hostel/hotel. The parking is very limited, and getting in the parking lot is a challenge off of the busy busy Paseo Colon. If you're walking from...

I stayed at casa colon for one night and i was just awed by the niceness of the staff especially Asayla. The place is clean and rooms are elegant. the only drawback is the room right next to the main road. It quite noisy anytime of the day. But oveall, a budget stay with exquisite experience.
