great location free activities community kitchen fake shuttle small room high price

This hostel has a GREAT location. It is a short walk to the center. I liked that there were many shops and restaurants close by. They have free activities like pool tournaments. The community kitchen was very useful. I could cook my own meals.

The airport shuttle mentioned on the website is not real. It is just a regular shuttle to San Jose. The rooms are small. I thought the price was too high.

yoga deck co-working area vegetarian options misleading shuttle overpriced room storage unit

the yoga deck was a serene space. i loved the co-working area. the restaurant was really amazing with good vegetarian options, too. it.

The website mentioned an airport shuttle. This information was misleading. a shuttle goes to san jose, dependent on flight times. it wasn't a dedicated airport shuttle, which disappointed me. the rooms was like storage units. They were okay, and the beds were comfortable, but overpriced.
