Decent hostel, poor management and service

Reviewed By Meander20893540420

Check in is at 3pm, which is a bit late, made even worse by the fact that the rooms were delayed by more than an hour so ourselves and several other guests couldn’t check in before 4-4:30pm. There is little to nothing to do, just people waiting to get into their rooms. After getting our room, suddenly 2 other guests unlocked the door and came in, saying it was their room, while we laying in our room. Seems the hostel has sold the same room to 2 separate bookings. Super unprofessional and inconvenient as a customer to have your door unlocked from the outside and others coming in.

Reviewed By DaBe88

This family hotel/hotel has people that are so hospitable and friendly, they make you wish you were a better person yourself! I arrived late and left early, but they were trying to figure out ways to make me feel comfortable and welcome! Even if that meant making me an unexpected breakfast at 6:15 when my shuttle bus was delayed!

I would get a private bathroom next time

Reviewed By MariaT-Rodo

Nice little place in a great location. You can walk to the key areas of SJO from the hostel. We had the private room on the ground level next to reception but the only problem was that the only available shower for us was upstairs in the shared dorm. Nice patio to eat and chill

Costa Rica Backpackers

Costa Rica Backpackers is the first hostel in the country. We are independent and locally run, and as such ou will get the personal touch not found in big chain hostels. We opened our doors in 2001, and have been the number one meeting spot in the capital ever since. Come and hang out with travelers from all over the world! Swaying palms, smooth tunes, free breakfast, kitchen facilities, WiFi, swinging hammocks, that's the Costa Rica Backpackers way! Think global, stay local

I would suggest staying somewhere else. The photos were appealing for us but instantly realised we had made a mistake!!

Reviewed By Curiosity55241815876

Incredibly rude staff, perhaps they’re trying to employ rude people. Has a bar and restaurant which is good but only when they’re open. Kitchen too small. Cant get delivery’s of food. Cant smoke or bring your own beer. Power cuts and no wifi!!

Nativus Art Hostel

Our hostel is a small and colorful option where you can rest pleasantly, having all the necessary amenities for it, while being captivated by the various murals and artistic pieces that can be observed in the hostel. By the way our hostel has a cafeteria for Lovers of a good coffee. One of the characteristics that stand out to us would be to be in a quiet and safe area in the city where after walking a short distance you will have access to the main tourist attractions that you can appreciate or enjoy the city of San José, it should be noted that we are very close to supermarkets and bars and restaurant as well as shopping centers.

A Must Visit

Reviewed By edfP9589AS

The breakfast is very generous and very healthy and tasty and made to order with the owner who is very attentive. She is super helpful. The architecture is very interesting in its use of height, sight, and light to make a space appear long and large, along with mirrors for the same purpose. (The daughter is a very creative architect!) It is worth visiting even for that reason alone, the same with the decorations that make you feel that you are in a green place, in the jungle. It truly is an education in interior design. The other guests were very interesting from different parts of the world; also very nice. The mother and daughter help you in your plans whether its finding your way around or fixing your phone with a new Sim card.

Eco Stay Hostel

Hostal perfecto en San Jose

Reviewed By APN2020

De todos los hostales en cuales me quedé en Costa Rica, el hostal Eco-Stay es definitivamente uno de los mejores! La casa siempre es super limpia, los dueños extremadamente agradables y ayudantes y la ubicación a 10/15mn de pie del centro es perfecta para estar cerca de todo sin tener los inconvenientes del ruido y de la circulación. Para es mi, el hostal perfecto para unos días en San Jose.

Amazing place - great staff - best location in San Jose - Don't miss it!!

Reviewed By Kahina12345

Fully recommended! The genuine kindness of the staff is one of the highlights of this place, they immediately make you feel at home. The hostal is located in the safest and best neighborhood of San Jose (San Pedro) with nice restaurants around. The rooms are super clean, we stayed in a private room it was great but they also have dorms. There is a big kitchen and different common spaces to chill out. The internet connection works great, this was useful as I needed to do some work. We had an amazing time and it is now our go-to place whenever we need to travel to San Jose! Something important that I want to mention is the power we have as clients to vote with our buying decisions... what I can say is that they are serious about caring for our planet. They have interesting initiatives so it is nice to know you are supporting a local project with a heart-centered approach. Lastly likes attracts likes so the guests staying there were also amazing and aligned with the vibe of the hostel. I can't recommend it enough!!
