Very little. If I'm picky I could say didn't manage to get hot water from the shower.... but maybe my fault.

Owner is incredibly kind/helpful. Spacious dorms with lockers and curtains. Feels very safe. Well equipped kitchen. Great place to get decent sleep before a flight since it's more quiet. Also great breakfast included! They catered to my gluten intolerance also!! :)

I loved my visit. David and Marta were so helpful and made me feel really welcome.  I stayed for 5 nights in the single room with private bath and balcony. The room felt very private (I rarely and barely heard the people in the dorm next door) and I had everything I needed, including a big fan.  The balcony was great, strong wifi, good breakfast, and the back garden area was so peaceful, both day and night. I felt really safe. It was close to a lot of great places. The China House around the corner has really good food and.  There is a gym across the street where I swam laps twice. (Bring your own swim cap if you can because they are expensive and required!) During the day I walked to the Jade Museum and the National Museum (about 10-15 minutes).  Both are great spots! I took a quick uber to the Butterfly Garden and the nearby Zoo (actually a wildlife refuge, not what I would typically consider a zoo). They were both such peaceful spots to visit nestled into the bustling city. Having Barrio Escalante nearby was great.  I would have walked during the day but usually went at night around 9 or 10, so I took Ubers.  Lots of great restaurants and bars! Jardin de Lolita and Cafeoteca were my favorites.  On my last night, a Friday, I walked around Barrio Escalante. There was so much going on! Also, most of the travelers were in their 20s. I am in my mid to late 40s and felt comfortable. It is not a noisy hostel. Very chill and respectful. Great area to stay in!

The staff were beyond helpful! My Spanish is terrible and the owner helped me navigate everything I needed for my onward travels! I was so very grateful ! Rooms were clean, and breakfast was tasty !

It was a little noisy at night because of traffic noise but that's to be expected in a city.

Great hostel, very helpful staff, great breakfast, good location, spacious room, lovely garden, fantastic value for money. Highly recommend! .

Owner was extremely helpful with recommending and help book tours along with transportation. He made our time in Costa Rica much more pleasant as we don't speak any Spanish at all.

No full length mirror in the dorm room!

WOW - this is a family run hostel and you can tell they care about the guests. It is very, very clean. Your dorm bed is made for you every day - how's that for customer satisfaction! Breakfast is a cooked breakfast with fresh fruit every day. I went from the dorm to a private room when I had to extend my day. The private room was spacious and clean with balcony. There is a pretty garden where you can listen to the birds (& train that passes once in a while!). The will do your laundry (small fee). Uber rides are very inexpensive from the hostel to downtown (20min walk). I recommend this hostel and would not have extended my stay here had it not been exceptional.

The employees/owners were so incredibly friendly and helpful, I don't think I've experienced it like this before. The hostel is cleaned daily, and our 8-bed dorm room had two showers with toilets. Breakfast was freshly made and delicious. Couldn't have asked for more. The area was a lot safer than a lot of other areas in SJ. Definitely recommend.
