Great for a night’s rest and a shower in the city centre. Wonderful staff. They provide a loud fan which blocks out all the street noise for a good sleep. Gracias Casa colon!

This was my first trip to Costa Rica, and all the people in the hotel were so helpful, and caring for me. I was able to go on two tours, and picked up directly at the hotel, the breakfast I had the typical food, the lunches were excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and private. I plan to return to Costa Rica in the near future and will stay again here.

Very nice and clean. Pretty loud from traffic noise. Ask for an upstairs room away from road.

All we needed for our night in San Jose. The building had some character, and staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was spacious and clean, and food was spot on. Would chose this place again if I was staying in San Jose.

This is a gorgeous hostel, and the rooms were very clean and large. They are very concerned with efficient use of resources (water, electricity, etc), so this is a good option for people also concerned about that when traveling. The Station Wagon bus to San Jose from Alajuela and the airport goes right by this, so it is possible to reach this easily by bus by getting off across the street (Parada Torre Mercedes). The people at the front desk were not all totally fluent in English, but we had no problems checking in. There was some confusion about whether we had already paid, so it is advisable to have an extra copy of your confirmation to show you paid Expedia to give to them. Wifi does not work well in rooms, but the common TV area is comfy and people will talk to you if you appear interested in conversation but otherwise will leave you be.

This former private mansion was restored beautifully into the hotel/ hostel it is today & the common areas are beautiful. Best of all the staff are all so helpful, friendly, that you won't find better ever. The location is also excellent and easy walking distance to the city center, National Theater, museums, as well as bus terminals near by. I found the atmosphere to be relaxing and easy going .

This hostal is in a converted old colonial house with beautiful dark wood doors, windows and tiled floor. The hostal is conveniently located in the west part of San Jose and walking distance to Mercado Central, museums, theater in the heart of San Jose. I was surprised that the hostal was quiet despite being located on street with much inner city traffic. The service and reception desk was excellent and efficient. WiFi worked adequately. There were a few parking spaces in front of the hostal. The cars were safe as the receptionists were able to watch the cars from the large windows from the lobby.

I had to stay one night in San Jose before heading out to La Fortuna. This place was convenience, since it's closed to the highway. There is a grocery store about 2 blocks down, but other than that not much around the place. The hostel has a very good restaurant and its own bar. There was wifi in the common area. The share bathroom was always cleaned. The stuff were very nice and helpful. Overall, I would stay here again.

We had a group of 8 (late 20 and 30 somethings), and rented 4 private rooms. It was all of our first experience in a hostel and we were not disappointed. It just felt like a huge house (which it was... built in 194(??) and turned into a hostel 5 years ago), and was so authentic looking. I loved the architecture, both inside and out. The wood was amazing and the stairwell was picturesque. The service at the desk is so so, but we were only there one night, so no big deal. Breakfast was fine and the coffee was awesome! The rooms were comfortable and we were in need of nothing. Loved the parlour in the center of the building... so open and a great place to have a drink and meet for breakfast. I'd stay there again if I ever make it back to Costa Rica!
