Located conveniently near the airport with a free shuttle service. Rooms are clean and staff are helpful in arranging transportation and providing information about local attractions. Nearby bus terminal and shops make exploring the area easy.
Some guests have mentioned rude staff and a lack of control over noise levels at night.

The hostel had neat architecture and a cute rooftop bar/restaurant. It was conveniently located near the airport, making it easy to catch an early morning flight. The hostel also provided airport transportation, which was a bonus.
Street parking in the area was horrible, with reports of car break-ins by homeless people and drug addicts. It would be safer to park in a nearby pay parking lot.

The hostel had a convenient location, with close proximity to both the airport and the town center. It was also within walking distance to amenities such as the Poas Nacional Park bus. There was a place to eat and have a drink upstairs, and the hostel provided hot water for showers. The staff was pleasant and informative.
The common spaces were lacking, with no good common areas to hang out in.
