I stayed here for one night before my flight out. Overall the facilities were very nice, beautiful balcony, nice upstairs room with plants and space for yoga. It was very quiet and the beds had a lot of privacy. The reason I wouldn’t rebook thought is I found tiny ants on myself as I was going to bed, and then all the next day I kept finding these little ants on my backpack.

Nativus is a beautiful little hostel. My private room, although didn't have any windows, included towels and was made up every day. The kitchen is lovely, very useful. The location is alright, I didn't like San Jose generally, but it is in a safer part of town.
