I stayed at this hostel before and needed a place to rest after my flight and before starting a tour. It was quiet at night time, the room was clean and comes with a shower. Staff is nice, check-in was easy. WIFI worked well. The hostel is in a safe location.

Quite new so things worked well. Quite modern luxury. And you could walk to the other side of the street and visit another Hilton with a nice pool with greenery and more cozy facilities. They had a very nice area for sitting and working.

It’s in a good location for my need to arrive and leave San Jose by bus to Guanacaste. The district is also in walking distance to the city center. The Staff was friendly and efficient, especially in the morning since I needed a fast breakfast to catch the bus.

Good budget hotel. The room was big, the shower was hot. Breakfast was included and there was a choice. The hotel is next to the bus stations so good location if you have an early/late bus. Lots of places to eat around.
