This accommodation has everything you need. Every detail is thought out and the space is comfortable and spacious. From all the hostels I have been this has to be the best one. I felt at home immediately and the host will do everything to make you feel comfortable and are available anytime. At first, I was hesitant as I am a female solo traveler and the place did not have many reviews, but this is due to the fact it’s a new hostel, and now I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting San Jose. The location is very central, eating spots at walkable distance, supermarket, even a cute book store. Felt very safe here!

My flight was delayed, and I arrived very late at night, around 2:30 a.m. Kenneth waited for me and made sure everything was ready. In the morning, he gave me great tips about transportation and the area. Excellent service and a warm welcome. Highly recommend!
