Stayed two separate nights. Very friendly and helpful staff. They called several car rentals to find the cheapest and best car when we wanted a car to see the west coast. And they helped us organise our bus trip to Panama City, and told us about the greatest attractions. Their free wi-fi was a lot better than several of the... More

I have stayed here many times, most recently March 2012. Since I was staying several nights I chose a dorm room. March is high season in Costa Rica the place was packed. You do get clean sheets and sometimes a towel. You get two pancakes for breakfast and a bit of fruit plus coffee all day. There is a communal... More

Just ok. It looks a little old, but they have a big TV screen (we found this amazing as we were just waiting for our outbound flight!) and other facilities.. Our room could have some more storage room or something to hang our stuff on, and looked just ok!! Everything was OK- has been nice, is looking old! More

Good service, good room, however our sheets/towels were not changed although we stayed for 3 nights. More

Rooms are comfortable, bed is a little soft and you can hear everything that is going on in the other rooms (like a normal house would be). Very clean, good points on that Hot shower, towel service, all great. We had the "Balcón 1" and it had a terrace. It was pretty awesome. I mean you saw the street from... More

This hostel is very quiet and comfortable to stay in San... More

The rooms are spread around a central sitting area/ kitchen. They are very nice with nice wooden floors and decent beds. Kitchen has everything in it to cater for your needs, a big supermarket is just 2 blocks away. There's free breakfast, free wifi, a huge tv, movies. The receptionist (owner?) was very helpful and friendly. If you arrive by... More

Gaudy's is an average hostel at best, can't really see why it has won awards for the best in San Jose. The rooms are very basic. They apparently have hot water but this was not working *and someone who has stayed there 3 times over the space of the last 9 months has also never had hot water whilst staying... More
