This is pretty good for a short stay downtown San Jose. The downside is that it's a hostel, not a hotel. It's weird that they call it a hotel. And of course I had a private room with a private bathroom but this is definitely not a hotel.

A good stay. The only complaint is that the common kitchen is too small. There's only room for one person at a time, maybe 2 at most.

Small noisy room

It's a place where I stayed overnight before going to the airport, but it can be seen as a hostel, not a hotel. The staff was kind, but the room was small and there is no table to put things on. The most serious thing was noise. I couldn't sleep because I could hear the sound of motorcycles, cars, and people screaming vividly through the windows that didn't close, as well as the sound of the next door, the next room, and the upstairs.

Ich habe eine Nacht in diesem Hostel verbracht und es war in Ordnung. Die Dusche mit der Toilette war sauber. Die Zimmer waren auch in Ordnung, allerdings gibt es keine Schränke oder einen Safe unterm Bett, wo man sein Gepäck verstauen kann. Allerdings bietet dieses Hostel eine Gepäckverwarung an und ist super. Das Frühstück ist typisch Costarikanisch. Das Personal war super super lieb. Das Zimmer konnte man außerdem von innen mit einem Riegel verschließen, aber nur wenn alle auf dem Zimmer sind ;)
