- “ Good value for money. The house is a bit old and not the most clean but the staff is really friendly and always ready to give a hand. Common kitchen and internet room available. Nice location next to a park, and 15 minutes distance by taxi from the bus station or city center. ”

- “ I stayed here for 4 days on arrival in Costa Rica for the first time. The staff helped me out so much in planning my tour of Costa Rica and I would recommend it to anyone who hasnt visited the country before and needs a good base to start. Nice friendly atmosphere right in the historic quarter of the city. Free coffee in the mornings is a nice bonus ”

- “ In a decent location but that's about where the good ends. The place is a bit ghetto and they had a sort of makeshift check in on a big messy table. Our room was next to this area which we thought would be an issue and it was. The staff were very loud and we had to crank on our music to drown out the noise. The hot water didn't work and they charged $2 each for some smelly towels. We were glad to move to another hostel. ”

- “ Only stayed here for one night but it was perfect. Extremely clean and safe location in San Jose. Right next to the park and an AMPM for a quick stop for food. The dorm room was clean and comfortable and surprisingly quiet for a giant dorm room. ”

- “ LOVE this hostel! Stayed here twice when I flew in and out of San Jose and have nothing but good things to say. The hostel is beautiful and filled with character and old world charm and is located just a short walk from many stores, banks, restaurants, etc. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the staff was very knowledgable. Would highly recommend staying here if visiting San Jose. ”

- “ My boyfriend and I stayed here on our last night in Costa Rica and had a terrible experience. We have both done a lot of traveling and know what a basic, budget hostel consists of but this place is just gross. I booked it because most of the other reviews were positive and I have no idea why. The room we were given reeked of B.O. and I don't think the bed had been cleaned in weeks. There was also a concert held here that threw any sense of safety out the window..drugs, etc..DO NOT STAY HERE ”

- “ Terrific staff, fairly good dorms. And gated security will help you keep a peace of mind. Purchase your own lock for the lockers. ”

- “ Absolutely fantastic. Casa Del Parque is clean, convenient, and hospitable to the Nth degree. Roger is very knowledgable about anything you might ask about San Jose, as well as the surrounding country. All other staff members are great as well. The kitchen is well maintained, the bathrooms meticulously cleaned, and the rooms (including the dorm) are more than taken care of. Simply put: the best hostel I've stayed at in Costa Rica. Don't even think about it, book it. It should have a %100 rating. ”

- “ Thank you for being the best hostel in San Jose. The architectural beauty of the historic part of the city is grand; this home at the park puts you right in the middle of where you need to be in San Jose. The small staff is wonderful and inviting, introducing us to the homeowner and engaging us like old friends. We were surprised and delighted by the cafe serving local, organic food! You allowed us to truly enjoy San Jose. Thank you. ”
