The value for money at this hostel was fantastic, with a clean room and friendly staff. The location was convenient and the staff went above and beyond to help me plan my day trips.

The food for breakfast could be improved, especially the coffee.

Upe Hostel is a gem - clean, modern design, welcoming vibe, perfect location near the main high street and San Pedro, well-designed communal areas.

Nothing, it is perfect.

We stayed two times at a well-located hostel in San Jose and had a great experience. the rooms were spacious and the beds were comfortable. the hostel had a nice shared kitchen and common areas where we could socialize with other guests. the staff were friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome during our stay. We even got to meet some interesting people who we ended up traveling with for a few days. it was a good value hostel with a pleasant ambiance. Cons: Couldn't be improved in any way. 🌟.

I had a great time staying at this hostel and met some really cool people who I ended up traveling with for a few days. the rooms were brightly lit and spacious, and the common areas were nice and cozy, providing a perfect opportunity to chat with other guests. the breakfast was delicious and freshly cooked, which I really enjoyed. the shared kitchen was well stocked, and I had a lot of fun playing games like darts and foosball. the bathrooms were clean and well maintained. the location was also convenient, within walking distance of the city center and close to nice bars. the staff was friendly and helpful. Cons: Nothings 😉.

had a great time at an affordable hostel in San Jose, met amazing people and walked to main sights, had a reasonable-sized room.

New hostel with helpful staff, clean rooms, and great hot showers. Good connections to airport and bus terminals. Close to many restaurants, bars, and clubs. Wide range of breakfast options.

I had an amazing experience at this hostel! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by Alfonso, who spoke excellent English. The dorm room I stayed in was comfortable with cozy beds. The owner, who takes great pride in cleanliness, kept the hostel spotless. The kitchen was well-equipped and the daily breakfast of delicious pancakes was a highlight. The staff went above and beyond by packing me a to-go breakfast for my early morning bus ride. The social area was clean and I especially loved the outdoor patio, where I could relax. The showers had really hot water, which was a luxury. highly recommended for anyone visiting.

Nothing 😊

Only one female staff member, somewhat cold. Showers clean but lack privacy. Spacious dorm with uncomfortable polyester bedding. Good location for budget travelers.

Friendly staff, spacious rooms, comfortable beds, provided towels and everything needed, hot showers. Convenient location near bustling nightlife and Atlantic Railroad Station, great for exploring Heredia. Enjoyable community dinners and delicious pancakes for breakfast.

I had a fantastic experience at this hostel. the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the overall vibe was warm and inviting. the hostel is new, so everything is clean and nice, and they even have hot showers. Carlos, one of the staff members, makes delicious pancakes for breakfast, and they also have community dinners. I really enjoyed the sense of community and made some great friends during my stay. Carlos was also really helpful in providing local travel tips and recommendations.

Nothing negative to say. 😊.

The location of this hostel was great for exploring the city and we loved the attached restaurant with its delicious but small portioned meals. the staff was delightful and accommodating, even allowing us to take fruit with us when we had to leave early in the morning. the tastefully decorated rooms and hot showers added to our comfortable stay. the common areas were cozy and provided ample opportunities to meet and chat with other guests. the breakfast, cooked fresh for us, was a nice touch. The hostel had a warm and friendly vibe, making it a perfect place to meet new people and exchange travel tips. Cons: Cannot find any fault. 😊.
