It's done very nicely and the environment feels welcoming. Very short walk from the Tracopa bus station. The kitchen is well-equipped and tidy. The hostel was like a treat after a long trip from Panama. I also had a dorm for myself for that night so I rested a lot. Thank you!

Nadine

From

Austria

Next to the bus station Terminal 7-10. Super friendly staff. Clean and comfortable place with shared kitchen, and working space. All in all perfect for a stay while traveling by bus. However for visiting San Jose itself I would probably recommend a different region of the town, but the Hostel is totally recommendable!
