Felt like the Selina was in a safer part of town, with a couple cafes near by but a good walk to any kind of supermarket. Facilities were great, food and drinks were good.

I was roomed with a male which I found to be very disturbing. I was comfortable at all to sleep, didn’t want to cause any confusion but that was unacceptable. Little bugs was all in my clothes and on the bed.

It's a good place to stay, and I would stay again. I only wish there was a better cooling system in the room other than a fan bolted to the wall, and cost 20$ to have a load of laundry washed and dried. But good restaurant/bar, common areas, services and location.

So if your in your twenties and like noise and don’t care you spent over a $100 for a private room that you cannot walk around the bed, no tv, no AC, dirty shared bathroom, one towel for 2 people, this is the place for you. The staff was nice and food was good enough, but we will not stay here again for the high price alone.

Initial room had no windows and ventilation was inadequate and so the room was extremely hot. Asked to be relocated and the new room was a complete mess and reaked of body odor when I walked in. Feel the property should manage that better. No large lockers for personal items which made it very inconvenient. Breakfast and was excellent

Selina is always my go to choice when travelling for its safety, it’s people and it’s events. There is always something going on and the people are friendly. The room I got was private didn’t really need too should of booked a dorm as they are really big and comfortable beds.

The entire staff at SELINA SAN JOSE including Carrey Sofia Steven Celeste Mairon Sergio and Andre go out of their way to make your stay memorable.
I checked out Ap29/2023 and found it so hard to say goodbye to everybody since we have developed deep friendships.
I go to Selina SJ every few months for Proceedures and I have friends here who I have such fond memories with.
One time I left without saying goodbye since it was too heartbreaking saying goodbye.
I see many guests and staff returning here month after month

First experience of a Selina hostel. Wonderful place to be alone or in group, working and/or traveling. Restaurant items were healthy & delicious. Our private room was adjacent to the community kitchen, so it was a bit noisy in the mornings…no sleeping in for us old folks, ha!

Wonderful place to stay in San Jose -- safe, centrally located, lots of amenities, and an easy walk from things like San Jose Central Market, as well as incredible restaurants like Restaurant Silvestre.

Very pleasant place to stay with a nice vibe. The communal areas are designed with love, the main area is beautiful with lots of space to sit and lounge. The bar and restaurant are excellent. Staff is super friendly and helpful. There’s a little shop stocked with necessities one may have forgotten to pack. Everything is clean. The ratio of bathrooms to guest could be slightly more but encountered no problems. The individual digital door locks can be a wee bit finicky but make u feel safe. The lockers in the room are not big enough for your bed, only valuables. But no worries they provided a locked room to put bigger things.You hear a little traffic from the street in the rooms but overall you will have a quiet and peaceful sleep. Inner city is in 5-10 minutes walking distance, supermarket close by.

It was a pleasant stay ! The room was comfortable amd the wifi very good. Not far to the main street of San Jose! However the restaurant was quite expensive actually… Better to get your breakfast outside…

Awesome hostel/hotel. Super clean and very comfortable bed. We only stayed for a night, but if ever we’re back in San Jose we will absolutely go to the Selina again.

I love Selina San Jose and the reason I keep coming back is the team. From Guillermo and Mairon on the front desk through to Mellis behind the bar and Marta and her cleaning team, everyone is super welcoming, super helpful, and a pleasure to deal with.

I was hoping to mix with other travelers more, but never met English-speaking guests. Felt safe - they had a guard and very secure room locks. The standard private room had a great bathroom - extremely clean! Bed was so-so but pillows were very nice. Biggest issue was THIN walls and lots of noise from other guests at all hours...

This place would probably be nice if you were staying in the dorms but we picked the suite because it looked nice. It was on the ground level about 8 feet from an intersection and none of the windows were sealed. Allowing ALOT of noise in and lots of mosquitos. The bathtub doesn't function because the stopper doesn't work and to use it as a shower water floods the bathroom because it is not flush against the wall and the shower curtains only cover the front half. After the water covered the bathroom floor it began to smell of sewage... so whenever we used the bathroom our feet would be wet and it would stink. The bed was extremely cheap and uncomfortable and there weren't even fitted sheets so as I rolled around the bedding came undone. The coffee machine also didn't work. Im not mad at the people running this place but the fact that it cost us 200 dollars was insane for a room without aircon in such bad condition with such a horrible bed and relatively disgusting bathroom. This property is cool and is in a fun part of town but this room was really misleading and in poor condition for the price we paid. So in short... I think it'd be fun if you wanted a super cheap dorm... stupid to book the suite and think its going to be nice.
