The staff here were really friendly and very helpful. I was made to feel eally welcome and more like being in a family rather than staying at a hostel. very good value for money and very accommodating with dropping me to the airport. This was my second stay as they were so great on the way into Costa Rica.

I came to San Jose for my prenatal appointment at CIMA Hospital and stayed at Ester's. It was walking distance from the hospital- even for a 7 months pregnant woman. Communication with the property was very fast. Ester was a saint and helped me book an English speaking taxi driver for my early morning departure. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. If you are traveling for medical tourism or want to stay in Escazu, you can't beat this location.

Absolutely perfect place in San Jose to stay. Breakfast was yummy, with coffee. Not a party hostel or whatever so it was really good to rest and have some space for yourself. I had some troubles with a booking in Santa Teresa and the staff has been extremely helpful in assisting me to sort it out.

For 2 nights, I slept in the dorm, in the lower bunk that was very near the door from the communal seating area into the garden. It was excellent there because I got a lovely cool breeze from that open door to the garden. So, even with the curtain of my bunk closed, I was very comfortable. Then, for the next two nights (because I was expecting pain from dental surgery), I booked a private room. The room was on the other side of the kitchen, with a louvred window facing into a closed-in little open space. There was absolutely no breeze there, so I was very hot and uncomfortable in that room, even though I had my own bathroom. So, if I stayed at this hostel again, I would rather be in a dorm: cooler because of the open-plan design, with no closed doors to the dorms. Something that I really liked was the available public transport: the No.7 bus (to el estadio) comes up the road, from the highway (near El Sabano park), to a bus stop really close the hostel. That bus goes into central San José, stopping along Avenida 2. To come from the city centre, to near the hostel, you need to go to Avenida 6: there is a bus stop near FarmaValue (between Calle 1 and Calle 0).

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
