We were quite disappointed with Hostel Pangea. They advertised free shuttle pick-up from the airport and free 10 minute calls to the US--- each of which turned out to be a scam. Once you get to the hostel, you are charged $9 (each person) for the shuttle (which is WAY more expensive than a taxi) and they no longer provide free phone calls (but yet they still advertise for it). The bar is very cool, and has a fantastic view and ambiance. However, the bartenders were very rude. Costa Rica as

This hostel is alot of fun, clean and good resturant/bar area. It's a bit load so don't go there if your looking for peace and queit. Also, if your flight is late they will make you take a cab which you have to pay for. They have always been there for me but my friends was late coming in and they went out of their way to not help her.

no communal kitchen, common areas can get a bit crowded at times, can be quite loud until 3am or later some nights (this could be a good or bad thing depending on what you want)

The staff is arrogant they neither help or explain something. I have never meet such a unprofessional staff like this. I would avoid it, if you can. Everything you have to pay extra. Again horrible staff. It's a shame!

Just got back from CR and this is the place to stay!!! Over the past six years, I've been to Costa Rica eight different times and have traveled all over the country. I've stayed in my share of hostels and Hostel Pangea is by far the best place! If you are staying in San Jose, this is the most secure and clean place you will find - especially when you consider how little it costs to stay here. The location is very central for travel. The staff are really fun, smart and attentive. It doesn't matte

Hostel Pangea is not really all that it is cracked up to be. There was no mechanical bull or dance floor, or wet bar and the pool is very small and basically in the parking lot. My room was fairly nice, bright and clean but my friends had dingy, smelly and very loud rooms. This is definitely a place for young people, it is fun and drinks and food are cheap and good. Don't expect too much though. I don't have much other experience with other hostels in costa rica but I imagine its pretty good as

We payed a deposit on hostels.com and they only reduced the cost by $1 per night, so we ended up paying more.

somewhat overmarketed - no free phone calls, the pool was dirty, internet computers were broken and hard to get time on
