It is a very nice hostel. The staff were great as well as some of the patrons. It is in a great location. You will hear the planes taking off so if you are a light sleeper, this might not be the place for you. Great value for the price.

It was a nice and convenient stay near the airport SJO. They can scheduled a taxi to pick you up and take you to the airpoet and you can pay with cash to the driver. Just make sure to have change. The whole staff was friendly, helpful and super nice. There was free coffee for the next morning!

Great for those on a budget and have an early departure. Location is only a few minute taxi ride away. Fantastic check in service. I paid for a private room. Room was clean, shower was big and the Costa Rican style on demand hot water worked great. No restaurant on site, but there is a little corner store next door and Denny’s restaurant is a walkable distance away. There was an outdoor sitting area outside my room, but the users were very polite and left the area around 8:30pm. Interbus will pick up and drop off from this location. If you are a light sleeper you may want to use some noise cancelling head phones. The planes departing are loud but the highway traffic noise is minimal.

Ideal place to spend the night, before an early flight or arriving on a late flight. The place is relatively inexpensive and it was clean. I would stay there again. However, it is a shared bathroom, so some travelers may not like that.

It was okay for a quick night to stay, but a little sketchy and probably wouldn’t want to stay any longer. Despite what it says, there is definitely no breakfast lol.
