Hostels in Grecia

Everything was fine

Such a nice stay. The gal who owns the place is amazing. She always wants to help and goes way out of her way. If someone has to leave at 4am, she wakes up also to help them get in the taxi and make sure everything goes smoothly. The beds are comfortable and everything is clean. The birds and views are very nice. The other guests were lovely. Overall a perfect stay especially for going to or from the airport

Everything was awesome!

The staff is so helpful and nice! The hostel is in a gated community. The hostel is small and the exterior doesn't look like much, but inside the gardens are lovely! The portions for breakfast are small, but adequate, and quite tasty. I had the best gallo pinto for breakfast here that I've had in all of Costa Rica! Be aware that the rooms are very small. My family of 4 could not all stand in the room at the same time. However, it was perfect for us because it was cheap and close to the airport, and our flight got in at 3:30 am, so we needed someplace to crash for a couple of hours. We didn't use the hostel's transportation because we didn't know if our luggage would fit in a single sedan, but I wish I had. The taxis (and random transportation we used outside of the airport) did rip us off. They quoted 15 or 20--I though they were quoting US Dollars. But they were quoting 15,000 colones (which is $30 US). The hostel quoted transportation at less than $15. So if you fit, definitely use theirs! Also, they provide a driver for tours in the area. We did not use them because the volcano was clouded over. That tour would have been between $28 and $38 per person. Instead we took Ubers to Doka coffee tour. We were sure we could get an Uber to and from Doka (although we weren't sure the Uber car was actually going to be able to make it up the mountain!), whereas I wasn't sure I was able to get an Uber from the Volcano. If Poas is a must-do, do it first thing in the morning and the driver at the hostel is probably going to be the cheapest private driver you can find.

The place is less than 5 mins drive from the airport. It was a really good to stay if you have a late night flight arrival. We arrived to SJO airport at 1am. The owner gave us a WhatsApp number for a driver so we didn’t get caught up in the crazy and a little bit scary taxi situation of San Jose. The driver took us to the accomodation and got us through the locked up gate at the accomodation. We checked in at 1:30am showered and slept comfortably.

Close to the airport

I stay in San Jose lots traveling through, and this is the first time I have stayed at Ester's place. The place was a breath of fresh air from what I am used to. The staff, which is a husband and wife, and a delightful maid were extraordinary friendly and helpful during check-in/ out. The property is in a super safe and nice area of Escazu. The facility itself is very nice with a community kitchen that is well stocked with things that you can use. The room itself was huge, way larger than a hotel room, and had a nice balcony. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone staying in San Jose for shopping or heading to or from the airport.
