    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.

    The staff are very friendly and accomodating, helped to organise bus trips etc. the front dorm is a little noisy as it’s close to the road otherwise it was pretty good. Beds are good.

    It's a great deal, especially for a private room, and it is located in a convenient and safe place. The bed was comfortable and the facilities especially clean for a hostel.
