Great Place!
Michael was very nice and insured that we were very comfortable during our stay. Everything was awesome and within walking distance of downtown. Couldn't have been happier!

Incredible staff
The staff at this hostel were truly the best! So friendly and helpful! This hostel is located in a great part of the city. We felt safe and could easily walk or take the bus wherever. We fell in love with the view of the city and with our late night talks with our hosts. We will definitely stay here again on our next trip.

Great place on the outskirts of downtown
Great location, great owner and magnificent view! The room was clean and the hostel is comfortable and relaxed. Quiet location but walkable to town (30 min) or there are busses going from the main road constantly. The view in itself makes this place worth the stay. Highly recommend.

Très bien - Grand balcon formidable
Chambres correctes pour le prix. Salle de bain commune mais très propre. Le gros plus de l'hôtel est le grand balcon bien aménagé avec une super vue. Je recommande sans hésiter.

Un Lugar diferente, relajarte y agradable.
Un Hostal con un toque muy especial y agradable. En el medio de la Ciudad, cerca de todo, en una zona segura, tranquila y muy relajante. La atención de su propietario Michael es siempre de una muy buena actitud para ayudar en todo lo que necesiten los huéspedes, además propicia una muy buena atmósfera entre todos los huéspedes. La primera vez vine por 10 días y me quede 75 días, ahora regrese a San Jose y estaré otros 15 días, muy a gusto. La perla es ¨el Balcón¨ y las vistas hacia la ciudad y las montañas son fascinantes a todas horas. A muy pocas calles existe una gran oferta de restaurantes, Pubs y bares. Y una plaza para hacer ejercicios.
