My husband and I needed a place to stay for one night in San Jose and made a reservation on-line ahead of time. The web site looked nice, so that was the draw. When we showed up there was a person rummaging through the garbage on the front step and a comradre was going on at the bar across the... More

First very nice lady at the desk but she speaks spanish only, second nice website. The real story is how extremely dangerous it is at night and how decrepit and smelly the beds are. Sorry Bernardo but the beds are the worst in many many many years of budget travel I have done. I can't believe I don't have any... More

The previous review is right. The owner is friendly and kind and helps you with the tourist information for free. He keep your luggage for free for a couple of days. BUT!....
