Muy Limpio, cómodo y acogedor
Pros:

Me gustó Costa Rica! Las instalaciones están limpias y bien cuidadas, es fácil llegar desde la terminal en Uber y el sector es seguro. Tienen varios hospedajes: en uno están las habitaciones dobles y familiares, y en frente el hostel con habitaciones compartidas. En el hostel hay cocina y piscina, aunque me dio la sensación de que las instalaciones se veían un poco descuidadas y sucias. Aun así, puedes cocinar allí y usar las instalaciones.

Nos guardaron el equipaje, teniendo en cuenta que regresamos en días próximos, en la casa de habitaciones privadas hay venta de bebidas y guarda equipaje, así como sala de espera y se ve limpio, se siente muy cómodo y bonito
Tienen área de café y te en la recepción. Lo cual es 100/10 gratis para huéspedes, es es muy favorable.

Cons:

En las habitaciones privadas, instalar ventiladores mata mosquitos, ya que solo hay una torre de aire y no ventila casi - aguantarte los zancudos en la noche es molesto.
- Una pequeña nevera y un hervidor de agua en las habitaciones privadas sería útil para no tener que cruzar la calle hasta el hostel donde es la cocina.
- Pienso que es una recomendación para los huespedes: manejar el silencio de 9pm a 5am, teniendo en cuenta que hay personas descansando (la casa es antigua y se escucha cuando caminan o cierran puertas, en mi estadía, los.huespedes azotaban las puertas y al ser una casa antigua todo se escucha). No pregunté pero no se, si tienen cobijas por si te da frío.

Hostal en San Jose limpio y agradable
Pros:

La amabilidad de las chicas de Recepción.
La limpieza, el orden. A pesar de ser un hostal compartido, estaba todo bastante limpio y ordenado.
Muy amables.

Cons:

Tener que sacar con sacacorchos las palabras al chico staff del edificio de backpackers. Entiendo que en esa posición te debería gustar atender al público 🥴...
