    Cleanness isn't enough and one bath room doesn’t have a toilet seat. Also, the bed mattress isn't good.

    Location is excellent. Also, the third floor’s colors are very good, orange based. Just $15 include tax for room without bathroom is good price.

    Men's toilets did not have a seat. Yep, toilets without seats. Learned some things about myself. Toilet without a seat is where I draw the line. Couldn't take a dump the whole time I stayed there, which was fortunately less than a day. Otherwise, I would have spontaneously combusted.

    Private rooms for the price of a hostel

    We couldn’t use the kitchen, the room was a little small but enough for one night !

    The location was great. It was ok, if you need one night ! There’s hot water for the shower. The bed was comfortable.

    it is really about getting the key to your room and that’s it, no reception, no information about the area, town…

    we needed to be in downtown, the hotel is very central so it was ok for 2nights,

    Staff refused to call me a taxi, so I had to go out wandering on the streets looking for one (with my luggage in tow) at 4am in the morning. There are a lot of stairs and no lift in this hotel, so tricky if you have heavy luggage.

    Cheap private room. Given fresh towel and soap. Comfortable pillow and doona.

    You get what you pay for. * Got ant infestation in my room so had to change. The ants migrated with me so never leave any food in the room nor in the trash-bin (tip) * The guy in the reception took 4000colones for himself in the convertion (A bit low lol...) * You can not go in or out of the hotel without a personel opening the door with a key. (Can be problematic if you come late at night to "call and call the bell" untill someone finally answer) * The bed was ok (beyond the ants) but the rooms are not cleaned very well) A tip here is to buy a Windex bottle at the supermarket and spray them and the corners of the wall or where you see them untill they go away haha, (i did).

    I will try to give an honest review. This place wasn't the worst ive stayed at but still in the lower part of good to bad stays. Im a backpacker at heart so I could still stay here again to be honest(if i didnt find anything better), but you get what you pay for. * The location is very central even if downtown at night is a bit scetchy (Be carefull) * They had warm water in the some of the showers. * Quite cheap I guess for the location

    Not clean ! Mattress very uncomfy. It was raining outside and water was leaking inside from everywhere. Ad days there is TV and fan but the room is way more minimalist than that.

    Location was convenient and price was cheap.

    It's nothing special but it's outstanding for the price. You get a private room for less than the cost of some dorm beds.

    It's like a drug den. You get buzzed in and out of metal gates. Nobody will do that at midnight to 5 am so you are stuck on either side of the gate. Good luck in case of a fire. Very dangerous. Rough neighborhood. Dirty rooms with no closing window or clean blanket meant you sleep in a noisy cold room. You hear and breathe the San jose pollution. I couldn't get any sleep there.
