Salimah
I loved my stay everyone was super friendly. Central area and great view. I felt safe. The kitchen and outdoor washroom was also very nice
Mario
Nice facilities. Clean and convenient location. The only drawback was that there was no AC in the room just central in the building so it got hot at night inside our room. Staff was nice and very friendly. Transportation options were excellent
Oludare
I showed up, and my bed had hairs on it. The location was dirty feeling and looking. And the woman who was mopping the floor sprayed chemicals by my feet and also mopped my feet when I was waiting in the common area.
Michael
This is my go to stay in San Jose. The staff is lovely, the beds are comfortable, the area is great, and the vibe is relaxed. I have nothing at all bad to say about this place and I plan to stay here many more times when I pass through San Jose.
Sidney
Very helpful staff. Quiet area but not too far from the center.
Michael
Great!
Amazing Hostel!

3 night stay
We stood here for 3 nights and it was super cozy and very comfortable. We got the private room and shared the Br with one other room, everything was kept clean and the space is beautiful ! There’s plenty of space to hang out,work/homework and the kitchen is a cute space with great espresso!
Brianna
Nice stay for one night
This was a nice place to stay for one night to catch an early flight. The hostel had shared space that included laundry, a couple of lounging areas, and bunk beds. There was also an option to rent a private room with a shared bathroom, which is what we did. It was pretty clean and relatively quiet. The area itself seemed a tad sketchy. All of the surrounding buildings had fenced in garages and barbed wire gates. I wouldn’t spend an extended amount of time here, but to and from the airport was okay.
Anton
Easy to find and close to downtown. Not much shopping or dining in walking distance but just a short bus/uber ride to town. Staff was friendly and bilingual. They were knowledgeable about a host of activities and could help explain local customs. My room was clean and secure. Other guests seemed okay but i didnt socialize much.
Luis
Located in nice and quiet neighbour. Great place to chill after a long haul flights. Very friendly staff! Would stay again.
Wayne
Very nice one night stay. In a chilled out residential area that is close to Sabana Park and not far from the centre of San Jose.
All the amenities needed for a comfortable stay.

Monika
Staff from AM and PM both were very nice and helpful. Place is safe and rather quiet for San Jose, except louder than La Fortuna where we had arrived from. Overall, super cute and affordable hostel, would def. recommend!

It’s a very lovely place to stay while visiting San Jose. Thanks so much for such a great hospitality.

Maria and the staff were amazing. I felt at home and cared for as a solo traveler. I need to use American Express to pay for my reservation and they went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of. Would absolutely stay here again!
Verified traveler
The place is very clean and well designed. I like how quiet the location is, while being not far from the city centre.
BalbinoMajano
This is the best hotel I ever stayed in. It was a very lovely place. I met the manager the next day after my arrival and she was so willing to help me planing what to do. I am so thankful for that. The place is very clean the rooms very confortable. I dont really know if it was a buffet breakfast but I ate until I could no more and it was delicious too. I definitely recommend this place and definetely will stay here since again.
Verified traveler
Staffs are friendly. The place is safe.
Breakfast is free and very good. They served different one every morning and coffee during breakfast is unlimited.
Alberto
The Best Hostel in San Jose
You won't find a better place to relax and enjoy what the city has to offer. Everything is super organized and clean and the staff will assist you in any way possible. They are truly wonderful and so is the hostel don't go anywhere else and stay at Capital.
Helen
Located in quiet neighborhood
This was my first experience staying at a hostel and it was a pleasant experience. It was very clean and the staff was friendly and helpful. A basic breakfast was served every morning. I would recommend taking a bus downtown or driving yourself, for it's not extremely close. The bus system is fairly easy to navigate. The location of the hostel consists of residential homes and offices with a few tasty restaurants nearby.

Female solo traveler review 🤍🌸✨
This hostel works well if you’re just planning to stay for one night and need a place to sleep. It serves its purpose, but the rooms lack privacy, while the beds have curtains, the dorms themselves are open.
The bathrooms weren’t always clean, and during my stay there was no paper available to dry hands.
On the positive side, the kitchen is practical and well-equipped with the basics, and there’s also a small dining area. The hostel itself is quite small and not social at all.
The staff were consistently kind and helpful. At one point, my phone charger stopped working, and the reception team kindly lent me one, which I really appreciated.

Muito limpo e organizado, atendentes muito atenciosos. Fiquei no quarto individual e gostei bastante. O local onde ficam as camas compartilhadas é aberto, não possui parede com porta, dá direto para o corredor.
Nicolás
Loved that hostel. Much better than expected.
Rindra
Excellent rapport qualité prix
Je suis restée une nuit dans une chambre simple, avec sanitaires privés. La chambre était conforme aux photos. Il y avait une table, un espace de rangement, un ventilateur, et du savon dans la douche. C'était suffisant pour une nuit. Il y a la possibilité de se faire livrer Uber Eats, ce qui est appréciable.

Staff at reception very friendly and helpful providing you with lots of helpful information. The bunk beds are very comfortable and generous in size including space to put your stuff around you,more like a pod than just a bed, also lockable drawers, space to put the bag, if wanted extra locked room for bag. Everything is super clean and kept clean multiple times per day. The showers and toilets are also very clean and spacious. The kitchen‘s fittings are not extensive but functional. There is complementary water and good coffee. Everything is light and open, airy and inviting. The WiFi works well without issues and there is a nice coworking space provided. Also a cute little garden including space to dry clothes. Laundry is offered at fair prices if needed. Reception is staffed 24/7 to let you in. And at night time they don’t just let anyone is but check that you u have a booking in so you can feel very safe. I did not explore the immediate area. It is a bit away from the city center but easily and quickly reachable with an Uber. There is a quite limited number of beds making it feel very cozy and calm with generous space.

Tropisk, rolig, trygt
Rolig, idyllisk plass. Veldig bra for familier. Ingjerda parkering. Rom har egen platning med tak og hengekøye, meget fint i regnsesong. Alle rom vender mot bakgårs med tropisk hage og basseng i midten. Kort avstand til hovedgate og strand. Bra deal!

excelente todo, solamente el horario de check-out no conincidía con el que se ve en Expedia, era mucho antes, pero a mí no me afectó porque me iba temprano, pero de no haber sido así quizá hubiera tenido problemas. Todo lo demás perfecto, hasta superó mi expectativa.
