Great stay, would recommend
lovely spacious hostel with various areas to hang out in. 8 bed mixed dorm was spacious too, beds reasonably comfortable but each with individual curtains, light and plugs. reasonably clean and well equipped kitchen. wifi that works throughout the entire hostel which is great. i had a medical problem and the girl at reception was extremely helpful.

This is one of the cooler hostels in terms of communal space with the variety of lounging chairs around the pool with music playing and an on-site bar and restaurant.

Exceeded expectations. Very clean, good location, extra value obtained with services
There have been renovations and my dorm room had hardwood floors and a very comfortable, large mattress. There was a concierge on site that gave you a map and showed you walking destinations. They have a bar and restaurant on site near the pool which is very convenient and adds to the sociability of the place. All bathrooms were consistently very fresh and well lit, also newly renovated.

A stopover in San Jose
The common areas were beautiful and really conducive for meeting other travellers. Plenty of unique and comfortable areas to hang out in. My room was spacious with large lockers and extra blankets for the cooler evenings.
