I arrived late in the evening with my family and the staff / service was very helpful. Room was clean and quiet - just what we needed before going to the bus station early the following morning.

This was my first trip to Costa Rica, and all the people in the hotel were so helpful, and caring for me. I was able to go on two tours, and picked up directly at the hotel, the breakfast I had the typical food, the lunches were excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and private.I plan to return to Costa Rica in the near future and will stay again here.

Very nice and clean. Pretty loud from traffic noise. Ask for an upstairs room away from road.

Always a wonderful stay at Casa Colón. The entire staff is always very helpful - especially my friend Daniel!! Thanks for another great stay!

Hotel is in a good location. Street and lobby noise was a very small issue for me. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. Rooms could use a bit of an update (e.g., condition of floors, bathroom fixtures, etc.). Room safe was not working (was open and 'locked' so couldn't be reset). Breakfast was minimal but perfectly acceptable.

Doesn’t look like a hostel at all it’s more like a hotel, it’s so loud at night due to the bar inside the hotel . The shared bathrooms are pretty creepy and felt unsafe . Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

I found the staff to be helpful and accommodating. It was great everything was in walking distance. The style of the building was colonial and once a really beautiful building. It is comfortable and basic. The shared bathroom facilities are basic but functioning. I enjoyed the food I ate both breakfast and dinner. My only complaint was being charge 2 USD for a small bottle of water when I arrived from the bar.

The staff was terrific and very helpful. They also offer airport shuttle service, which was very handy, especially at 6 am! The main rooms are lovely and very comfortable. We had a good selection of various free breakfasts (not offered with dorm rooms) and the coffee was fantastic! Our room had a shared bathroom, which was essentially a line of sinks in the hall, with toilets and showers separate. I had no problem with the cleanliness of the bathrooms or our room. Our room (109) had no windows, which we were aware of when booking, but the a/c worked great as did the big screen TV. We had a queen sized bed and two bunk beds, which we used as luggage storage. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but the private rooms could use a coat of paint and some patching on the walls. No quite shabby, but approaching it. And the lighting could be improved--warmer lighting and more wattage would make a big difference. However, the bedding was changed every day and the room was insect free. For the price, and for short stays, its a good place to stay. I recommend Room 109 as its away from the noise and close to the bathrooms. There are two creaky wooden steps leading up to the door, so if you walk in your sleep, this is probably not the room for you!

Good place to sleep. Neighborhood is safe and plenty of dining options nearby.

sleeping in a 15 x 15 space with 5 other people equals no sleep...never again...

Casa Colon is what it says - a Hostel type of accomodation. It has a good restaurant attached for food and drink in house.

You meet interesting people in this hotel. My friend and I stayed for a night to tour San Jose. Location is perfectly central to all attractions and on a major avenue, so it was safe to walk back at night. We had a shared bathroom so it was slightly inconvenient but great value for price paid. Facilities are all functioning. Bathroom stalls are just a bit too small. But in general, satisfactory. Rooms could be cleaner but overall, hostel was comfortable, old-fashion styled, and comes with continental breakfast. I do have say though that the layout of the hostel is weird. In order to get to our rooms, we had to zip zag past a restaurant and bar. WiFI was only working in the common areas. Bar guests could use the public bathrooms/sinks too, which was a surprise to us. Hostel staff was very friendly. Friend and I had to print boarding passes for our outgoing flight and we urgently looked of a printer. The reception was nice and let us use their desktop. Overall, we (2 girls) felt safe and welcomed at the hostel.

It was great to be met by a driver and taken to the hostel. We had heard the big bridge is under construction and it can be very expensive to get to MEPE from the airport. We were charged a flat rate of $30.00 for 2 people. The shower area could use a little cleaning. The staff were very helpful with directions and what to do and what not.teri

Too expensive for the room!!!!

This hostel has a great location and the staff is friendly! They have free wifi and a nice little restaurant with patio. The only negative thing we experienced was their advertised "shuttle service". Turns out they don't have a shuttle and they sent a taxi to pick us up from the airport which we had to pay ourselves (it was $30!).
