We chose this hostel because of it's proximity to the Tica bus station. It was a fun and nice hostel, although the beds and other amenities could be considered very average.

If you need Internet then go another place. Old and unfunctioning equipment and a poor network connection. But for a safe, cheap and friendly place in the somewhat dodgy San Jose then this is it. Have been here twice and will come back again too. More

This hostel was great. They give you a towel and have a hot shower. Don't forget to get your free shot when you arrive!

We made San Jose our last stop just to have a place to stay before our flight out to the States the next morning.
