ik ben hier meerdere keren geweest, maar deze keer viel het me erg tegen.
Pros:

de kamer was prima en schoon. bed was ook prima.

Cons:

de keuken die voor de gasten is om te gebruiken had geen kommen, er waren in totaal 2 glazen voor alle gasten om uit te drinken. 1 van de dagen dat ik er was, was er lekkage in de keuken, het water heeft daar hele dag/middag gelegen, het was een water ballet. In de avond werd het water afgesloten waardoor er niet gekookt en afgewassen kon worden.

Pros:

Letti comodi, pulizia impeccabile anche nei bagni in comune.

Cons:

Struttura un pò rumorosa dovuta alla vicinanza del treno. La posizione non mi é sembrata proprio ottimale. Un pò isolata. É un peccato perché sono stata al Viajero in altri paesi in America Latina e la posizione mi é sembrata migliore rispetto a questa a San José.

Clean, safe & friendly hostel- would highly recommend.
Pros:

Lovely modern, clean and spacious private room for a super affordable price. I felt very safe here. Lots of opportunities to make friends via the events but nothing crazy, there were very chilled vibes which I loved.

Cons:

Nothing.
