Fun place to stay, but there's not a lot going on in the area. Great for a one night stay.

I enjoyed my stay at the hostel, the only thing I felt was lacking was good washing facilities. There is only one shower for all the hostel guests. When we booked a private room with shared bath we didn't expect to be sharing with 15 other people. I thought the laundry fee of $10 and use of a locker for $3 were both a bit steep.

This place is like coming home for me. The staff are incredible people. They even took care of me while I was sick, how sweet is that? Great location, always something happening, hoola hoop lessons, family suppers, movie nights, monopoly games. It's a great place to be, I continue to return here whenever I am in San Jose.

I really liked the staff. They were all very helpful and accommodating. My room door could have been a little more secure. It opened easily despite the fact that it was locked. All one had to do was to push on it and it would open. It would have been nice if there were more than one shower. My biggest complaint is that WiFi did not work while I was in my room. I had to go somewhere near their "office" to use Skype. The kitchen was clean and the place was very nice, so I'd go there again.

The location of this hostel was amazing and the staff were really helpful. There were a few things that were odd about this place. Our room had no outside windows, only glass through to the reception area which was very loud. We selected the shared bath option, and the bathroom we were to use was accessed through the dormitory. Cleanliness was a average.

We booked a private room with bathroom as we were arriving late and leaving early. The room was big but unfortunately not particularly clean. The shower wasn't warm. The hostel, from what we saw looked good and the garden is lovely. The hostel is secure but the lock on our room wasn't good.

I absolutely loved Hostel Casa del Parque, the staff is incredibly nice, welcoming and helpful. It felt like home. The location is very strategic, we had a beautiful park right in front of the hostel, also two delicious restaurants on each side, and a taxi stop right in the front, which was very convenient. I would highly recommend this place.

Incredible hostel with an incredible staff!! Set in a beautiful house next to Parque national, you couldn't wish for more. Perfectly located a short 5 minute walk from downtown, a couple of minutes from the nacional museum, this hostel caters for both the adventurous and the chill types! The courtyard outback will also never fail to deliver a great evening full of conversation!

By far the best hostel to stay at in San Jose!!!!! Everything from the location to the extremely friendly and enthusiastic staff, this is definitely a very well maintained hostel, where the main priority here is making you feel at home, and stress free. In what I would consider to be the safest part of San Jose, this colonial style mansion is something to see, very clean and beautiful indeed. Thank You Hostel Casa Del Parque for a truly wonderful experience!
