Preiswert, sicher, basic, sauber.

Die Lage ist gut, 1,6 km vom Zentrum entfernt, gut per Bus oder auch zu Fuß zu erreichen. die Gegend ist nicht besonders gefährlich (aufpassen muss man in San José überall). Es ist eine minimalistische völlig ausreichende Ausstattung. Fernseher, warmes Wasser, alles hat funktioniert. Das Hotel hat 24 Stunden offen, es ist immer jemand da. Sicherheit ist gut, alle Gänge sind kameraüberwacht. Ideal für jemand, der einfach eine ruhige sichere Unterkunft sucht. Eigenes Bad, etwas eng, aber sauber.

Kann mich nicht beklagen, alle meine Erwartungen waren erfüllt.

Непогано

Чудовий готель для бюджетного туриста, розташований в 5 хвилинах ходьби від центральної вулиці Сан Хосе, поруч з багатьма ресторанами та магазинами.

Номер дуже маленький, але якщо ви збираєтесь лише ночувати в готелі, то нормально. Також була відсутня гаряча вода, лише трохи тепла.

Rather stay in the East of the city

Comfortable bed

The area wasnt nice, definitely rather stay in the East of the city near where the Selina is. The shower was terrible and rather dangerous looking with wires sticking out! the pressure was really bad and water was warm, not hot.

Exceptional

Easily the most convenient hotel if you have an overnight bus to pick up. Very close to both the Ticabus terminal and the Pulmitan one with buses that go to Guacanaste. Staff are very accommodating and the room is excellent value.

cheap, easy place to stay after arriving in San Jose, with helpful staff!

close to the main downtown street of San Jose, and an easy place to find from getting the bus from the airport

Great for a night or two as a stopover, not sure how it would bare out if staying for longer than that

Cheap and good value for price

Staff was very friendly and always tried to do best to help and improve everything.

At first my room had no window. And I did not know hot to turn the water hot or it did not work. In the second night they moved me to another room which was better

Very good

This is a perfect clean, no frills, dorm type room which we wanted for several nights on arrival and eparture to Costa Rica. It is perfect location, a street off main st and a 20 minute walk to Avenida centrale where the famous mercado centrale is. Bank and grocery store 10 minute walk. Kind staff. They arranged our drive to the airport which was very fair price compared to airport “taxis”. This is family owned and it’s nice to support that.

Basic But Functional

Very secure with staff having to buzz you through a gate 24/7. Great value for a capital city. Downstairs cafe is ideal. Strong wifi.

Good value for money

Simple but cheap room. Don't expect too much, but good value for money. Close to ticabus stop, although didn't feel save walking in the neighborhood after sunset as a woman alone.

Walls could use some paint. Sheets were very static (synthetic fabric).

Only if you cant find anything else in the area

Very friendly receptionist . Location close to the bus to the airport

The room is like a cell room :( very small (definitely not the size they advertise ) with no window to the outside . All the unoccupied rooms are kept with the door open which somehow gives a creepy feeling to the place and you can hear everything and everyone :(

Pleasant

The room was clean, cheap, and for one or two nights it’s ok. The receptionists were friendly and if you asked them something they help you. Under the hotel there is a Soda that is cheap and the girl is very nice.

The only bad thing about this hotel is that at night you can hear a lot of noise from the street. It would not be bad if they renewed the sheets and towels, they seem to be many years old. Otherwise, all good

Had I not had a bad knee at 73, this was the best stay I have had in Costa Rica in 11 yrs. I really wish to thank the st

Great price and was in a location near my dentist!

I am 73, and a little of a bad knee. The host starts on the second floor, so there were about 18 steps. Very easy to walk up and the staff kept me on the second floor.
