The hostel is in a safe area in San Jose. I liked that quiet hours from 10pm to 7am are being "enforced" by closing the common areas. Very clean in all areas.

Hostel Travesía Urbana, hotel in Escazu

Boasting a shared lounge and a terrace, Hostel Travesía Urbana is situated in San José, 7 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park and 8.4 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica.

Small hostel with the family living on premise. They were very kind and accommodating. Everything was kept very clean. Excellent wifi. A good portion of San Jose is a little dangerous these days but this neighhborhood felt quite safe. It has quite a few restaurants (and a good gym) within walking distance but lacks a nearby laundry service and not offered by the hostel. Something to ponder if you plan on staying longer. Bed was comfortable.

A recommended stay for those who appreciate efficiency and comfort!

The guy at reception was nice. The breakfast was basic but was actually very refreshing as pineapple and cereal in hot weather went well. The location is near some bars The other people at the hostel were nice. I did a YouTube vlog " MorgansWorld760 " and you can see the surround streets and my crazy New Years Eve antics

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.

    Family run and so friendly and safe. Loved the garden & inside outside vibe. The area is gorgeous and has great shops & restaurants. Breakfast is huge, but you can tailor it to your needs. Poor dad went from trying to feed me everything to 2 perfectly boiled eggs. A great base in San Jose and a very nice neighbourhood.

    Great location for us because we were visiting friends a couple of doors down. Nice area, patrolled by a security guard so felt safe and there was a lovely restaurant area nearby with some good food and bars on offer. Room is as simple but comfortable and clean and the fan was a welcome addition. Space to sit outside and have breakfast.

    We really loved our stay at Cosy Apartment Mirador. It was a wonderful base and felt like home for us. We spent two weeks there as we needed to explore the Central Valley. It is in a great location and extremely peaceful, which was wonderful after the hustle and bustle of the city. Our host, Gonelli, was very welcoming and informative. The views from the apartment are magnificent and we thoroughly enjoyed late afternoons sitting on the balcony. I would highly recommend this apartment!
