A two star hotel with Hostel rooms, and it was both convenient, pleasant, and safe to stay there. The only problem as a hostel is that the bathrroms are about 50 yards from the rooms.

On a main city thoroughfare, so transportation is very easy. However you could just walk since the central square is just a 20 minute stroll down the street. Very clean with lots of great common areas. Reliable wifi. A good deal of traffic noise, but earplugs can fix that. Overall a good experience.

No free breakfast at dorm rates (Why doesn't HostelWorld tell us this *before* we book?) and no kitchen for guest use at all. Very pretty interior but on a very noisy street. Friendly staff. Could improve drainage in showers.

More of a hotel with some dorm room. Not far from city centre and Tica bus terminal is just round the corner. Recommended.

We booked a basic room because that was the only private in-suite option left at the time. While the common areas of the hostel are nicely decorated and very clean, the basic room (room 208) is indeed very basic! The nicer rooms are located in the front and middle of the hostel while the basic room is located all the way in the back, next to the janitor's room and communal bathrooms. We felt like we were staying in servant's quarters! It was clean though.

great food, courteous and helpful staff, beautiful interior, great price, hot showers, but poor location facing the main drag; however, convenient to get around.

The hostel was perfect- the food was delicious, breakfast was a generous amount and changed daily…rooms were clean and in tip top shape. Staff was also very helpful. I entirely recommend this hostel to all visiting San Jose!
