Good for an urban environment. It's quiet at night and there is a park nearby to take an early morning walk or bus to Centro in 5-10 mins. Good breakfast and sitting areas to meet others or use wifi. 3 bathrooms outside dorm everyone shares. 8 bd dorm actually has 10 beds. A fan blows from ceiling at night to cool down. Can get hot in hostel in afternoons. Free filtered water and decent kitchen that is also shared and used as a restaurant by employees.

I stayed here the night I flew into San Jose & the night before I headed to the airport in the morning. The staff is super friendly & accommodating. They gave me lots of advice about how to travel around Costa Rica & recommended some beautiful locations. I felt extremely safe & comfortable here - definitely recommend (:

Justin was amazing, really helpful and attentive. Gave us loads of recommendations and sorted SIM cards out. Too many beds crammed in one room however, we were like sardines. Free breakfast included, you can use the kitchen too.
