My go to hostel in San Jose for it's convenient location, good prices, and friendly staff. Always clean and comfortable, the people who work there really make you feel at home! They are updating some of the rooms now and the new mattresses are GREAT.

We were there for only one night. But we enjoyed the modern room and the nice bathroom. They have a nice, small garden and breakfast is included. We missed a place to go to in the evening because there is no nice bar around. The supermarket is close by. They have a community kitchen.

I've stayed at Mi Casa Hostel a handful of times now, and each experience is just as great as the last. It's located in a safe and convenient neighborhood, close to the airport, and right on the edge of downtown San José. La Sabana, the largest park in San José, is only a couple blocks away and offers beautiful views,... More

My boyfriend and I stayed our first night in San Jose at Mi Casa Hostel. It was easy to find (just across from the staduim and park), the staff spoke great English and were very helpful with directions and attraction reccomendations. The room was large, clean and comfortable, but our window faced the street so at night we were subjected... More

My wife and i had to stay one night in San Jose because of an early flight and we got recommendations about this place. An ok price in a safe neighborhood. The place is close to the airport so that's a bonus for some people. Problem is, room was not clean at all, I think they just didn't clean it.

moved here after Nomadas got booked out and really liked it. It has a nice garden area, a lounge area (with cable TV), pool table and kitchen you can use. rooms (private and dorm) are clean and largish. there's free wi-fi. the included breakfast is just pancakes. location is pretty good - you can easily walk to the Sabana park...

I have stayed at Mi Casa a couple of times now, and you just can't beat the price, cleanliness and friendly service. It is the perfect place to stay if you are on a budget and prefer to spend your money on activities/ adventures instead of a luxe hotel room. The staff are courteous, the business is obviously organized... the... More

This is a very homey hostel really close to a large, beautiful park (La Sabana, I think). Small kitchen, but it´s got a great yard in the middle where you can lounge in the sun or just rest in the shade. Stores for buying food are within walking distance, and there´s a great little living room area for chilling out.... More
