Book only one night needed to be closed to the airport prior to leaving Costa Rica. I arrived too early to check in so I left my backpack in the storage and went sightseeing. Rooms were cleaned however my issues was with the cleanliness of the bathrooms I wish they were cleaner . Shower’s didn’t have any hooks or shelves and I didn’t have anywhere to but my stuff other then the floor. I found a very cockroach in the shower which was also gross. Bathrooms could definitely be cleaner and furniture could be less broken done. Definitely more on the budget friendly side.

Friendly reception is a plus. It takes a little long to get from the airport There's a advantage of space alone. It is good to have kitchen facilities and rest space

Ist kein Hotel, sondern eher ein Pension. Relativ sichere Gegend, was wichtig in San Jose ist. Von der Straße kaum zu erkennen, daß sich um eine B&B handelt. Badezimmer in schlechten Zustand. Trotzdem für eine Nacht ok. Preis - Leistung stimmt nicht ganz...

The landlord’s wife was very kind and helpful, she helped me arrange my trip to Costa Rica, and I thank her very much. My trip in Costa Rica was very enjoyable. There is a local restaurant next to this hotel. It is very delicious. After I return to China, I will try to make those three dishes. One is red bean rice, one is yak beef, and the other is pepper side dishes. They are all very delicious. Especially suitable for fat reduction fitness meal

When I booked at that time, I saw that the room was 20 square meters. When I went there, I felt that it was about 10 to 12 square meters.  I was disappointed. The double room we booked was small and the room was small. There is no chair. Usually I can sit on the bed. Fortunately, the layout is good. The surrounding environment is average. The traffic is basically walking (the attraction is not too far, from the National Museum 1.7 to 2 kilometers). The service staff has a good attitude. Although I don't know English, I am also very active in answering our questions with a translator.

LLady Kwenadi🌟 5-Star Review for Hostel Casa Colón, San José I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Casa Colón — it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport or bus terminals. The staff were welcoming and helpful, offering great local tips. My room was clean, secure, and surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. The common areas are stylish and spacious, with a cozy on-site restaurant that serves excellent breakfast and coffee. It truly felt more like a boutique guesthouse than a typical hostel. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for comfort and value in San José.

GGuest UserNice hotel in San-Jose. Old colonial style house very well decorated. Close to city center (in 10-15mins). Next door to the hotel is very good restaurant Pataconeria. Breakfast in the patio starting at 6:30, there is a choose of dishes.  Close to the hotel is railway which wake you up early :)

LLady KwenadiHotel San José is a cheap option, but the location is inconvenient and feels unsafe. The property is basic with minimal amenities and security. It suits travelers who prioritize low cost over comfort or safety. Overall, the experience is average and disappointing for those expecting more.
