“ I've been to much more welcoming places all over the country. Staff not very willing/knowledgeable to provide information if you're not planning to buy a tour from them. The loud music in the bar makes conversations near impossible. Bring good earplugs as the bar is adjacent to most rooms and you'll hear it until very late. Food is very good but 8 dollars for a simple breakfast with pancakes, fruit and tea is way too much. Location is very convenient for the caribbean bus stations. ”

“ Hostel Pangea was an excellent place to crash our first night in San Jose having arrived at 2 a.m. We got a shuttle there (which is not cheap but worth it for safety issues at that time of night). We were in a dorm style room with six others. The beds were average comfort, one pillow, one blanket and clean. There were many amenities including a pool, a restaurant upstairs serving breakfast and lunch and loud festive music. The cost of things were very fair and the staff were extremely helpful A+ ”

“ We were placed in a single private room that was incredibly gross, we had dirty Sheets on our bed when we arrived and when we asked for new sheets The new ones were still not clean. The room was freezing and we were not given a blanket. There was a cockroach in my shower, not a very pleasant way to get clean. We moved Rooms our second night and our new room had dirty sheets from the last guests. The only redeeming quality was the bar and hang out area upstairs with the free computer use. ”

“ Nice place with a spacious facility. I especially liked the food. Not a party hostel although I had read that it was. ”

“ The hostel is out of the nighlife's area (bars, nightclubs, restaurants, malls, etc). But it is a very good deal if you staying for a night. I have to complain about the guy up in the bar (the fatty bartender): he needs to understand that his role is to help visitors no to harass them. ”

“ Had an overall great time at Pangea! The staff made it super easy to get to with the available shuttle, and they were always there to help with any questions we had. The only thing I could say is that it would be great if the pool were chlorinated and cleaned more regularly. Other than that it was a great stay. It's a party hostel, so expect loud music and revelry long into the night... we came knowing that so it didn't bother us. ”

“ I think that overall this place is good for it value. They should invest in some fans because the room was hot. I also had a moment where I thought I lost my locker key and the person at the front desk said we had to wait a few hours for someone to come with a tool to break the lock. Luckily, I found the key but the should invest a few dollars on having the toll on sites because people could potentially loose their keys. Also, the wait at the airport by the shuttle provided was too long. ”

“ Staff at desk were rude and I was kicked out of a room when the booked it wrong and had to move to another room that night, no apology, they blamed the computer. Clean facility, no lockers but otherwise safe. I did not like that there was no kitchen. Great location in downtown! ”

“ The hostel is great and their facilities are just amazing. The service was also great. The location of the hostel is my only concern as the areas surrounding the hostel are not too good or safe, but if one if staying for only one night (like i did), then its not that big a deal. ”
