better price than elsewhere in San José

Very basic

Had an exercise bike. Decent location. Convenient socket. Clean

Worst pillow I've ever known. Very basic mattress. Cold shower. No key access. Better alternatives for less money

This is a centrally located and very cheap hotel, which is surprisingly clean, comfortable, and quiet

There were some ants but just a few and not much of a bother

Would not recommend. When I first got there they wouldn’t take my $20 bill because of a truly tiny rip on it. Fine. My reservation was for a $14 room and I show the man the only other bills I have total $11. He doesn’t say anything. After consulting with someone else he tells me they can’t accept me. I ask if he doesn’t have something for $11 and turns out that yes they do; he was turning me down as a lone female traveler at night in a not great area having another option he knew I could afford. He informs me there isn’t hot water in the shared bathroom of that one, which fine. However, what I wasn’t expecting was the room/cot to reek of cigarettes, being able to hear other guest’s snoring as if they were in the same room, a man screaming throughout the night, and a gross bathroom with no toilet seat. I won’t mention the other bothers as for an $11 room downtown you can’t expect much, but believe the other bad reviews here. To top it all off, I was never informed you can’t leave as you please. There’s a dropoff box for keys at the entrance, I wasn’t asked about my departure time, and supposedly the $11 room has a “private entrance” according to Booking. When I tried to leave around 3:20am to go to the airport, the entrance was locked. I rang the doorbell and called the hostel’s number for 10 minutes, which made me feel awful because it was loud enough to sound throughout the entire hotel (as I’d experienced hearing throughout the night before). I’m a native Spanish speaker, so this wasn’t a language barrier problem.

Good location. Nice staff. Ok for the price.

The room had no window, only to the hall. It smelled like cigarettes.

Nothing.

If this place is going to use Booking.com, they should be aware that Booking.com and certain standards do exist.

Cheap and safe, great for a stop over. It's like fort-locks in here, you can't get in or out without the man pushing the buzzer! But the positive is that it's very safe. Shared bathroom was basic but clean, shower was really strong/good.

Considering the amount of people who go through here, and I am sure the number who have asked are massive; they should really call a taxi if asked. It's just a kind and also simple gesture. I've been to many hotels where they've been connected to a taxi company- regular customers for taxi drivers and happy guests! It seemed a bit "unkind" to not offer this, making us walk the streets searching with lots of bags...

Friendly and helpful staff, clean, location in the city centre

No window in the room, little noisy from the street

lots of prostitution

The location was great. It was ok, if you need one night ! There’s hot water for the shower. The bed was comfortable.

We couldn’t use the kitchen, the room was a little small but enough for one night !

The location is central and close to many museums in san jose

Room has huge cucarachas , when i mentioned this to staff they just stared at me ! Room next door were fighting all night banging on my door until 4 am I was terrified! Bathrooms were dirty no toilet paper ...you have to ring the door everytime to get in and out .after midnight to 5 am there is no one to open the door so you will be locked out ...i left a day early even tho I paid for the room be aware ! They didnt offer refund and said oh well it is what it is !!!!!
