Pros: Ok so the staff is so nice but room 414 had little to no water pressure and trickle of hot water...... I asked the front to change rooms but because they were full no possible.... So sucked it up and took Luke warm shower for two days.... Manager said he would comp a dinner at hotel eatery .... Didn't happen and no one seemed to know how it would work. Bed was comfortable location is great for San Jose .
My best advice to anyone staying in Costa Rica is get out of San Jose and see the countryside unless u want to be in New York meets Tijuana

Cons: With that small TV you cannot watch anything cause it is just too tiny and the sound is terrible too.
6.0 Good
Pros: the breakfast was okay. location is okay if you're staying a night and have to go to the airport the next day.
Cons: The front desk staff lacks professionalism. On one occasion, I was hoping to use the phone to book a tour. The front desk attendant said that he knew a better company and dialed a number and my friend didn't really ask for specifics and booked the tour. As a side note, that company that starts with the letter "M" was the worst experience I had in Costa Rica in terms of safety while driving. Not only did the front desk attendant have the audacity to refer us to this "M" company, when I called to ask what the company's name was he told me to act like we asked for the number and not tell anyone that he had referred us to them. This is not even the tip of the iceberg.
On one occasion, my friend and I were getting a couple of drinks and since most people go out at night, we were called "squares" in Spanish for staying in and drinking at the hotel instead of outside.
We found two cockroaches in the hotel which is normal since the front door is always open, but upon finding a third cockroach a day later, I managed to keep it under a glass and left it for the cleaning staff to discard because I forgot to do it. When we returned later that same night and the room was cleaned, we were not given a new glass. The cleaning staff rinsed the glass and left it on top of the desk. I mean, who does that? As a side note, the cockroach was about two inches big and touched the surface of the cup.

Pros: The room is big, the bathroom is ok. It was quiet cold during night. Maybe it is not too comfortable during cold nights.
Cons: The breakfast has very limited options. Yogurt only kefir. You receive a small portion of fruits. No cheese, only butter and jelly (homemade, good ones). But you can have the typical Costa Rica gallo pinto, eggs and patacones de plátanos. We stayed at a room with balcony. The window of many rooms opens to the corridor. There is a problem if you are with big luggage or if you have any walking difficulty. The hotel has no lift and many stairs.
3.8 Mediocre
Pros: Only location, that's it.
Cons: The room was dirty. There was a lot of someone's hair on bathroom floor and tile and it was really gross. Bathroom towels were not really clean. The owner of the property was also rude and he was so impatient. Breakfast was basic, eggs, toasts, coffee, jam, nothing special. Luckily I only spent there one night. Only location was good, really close to downtown San Jose.

Pros: Location.
Cons: Disappointed that the hot tub had been removed. Thought it had a hot tub as we had stayed their 5 years ago. Would have been nice to be located on an upper floor for the view. Unfortunately we were on the 4 the floor.
7.1 Good
Pros: The service by the staff was wonderful. The bed was very comfortable and the room was spacious. The location of the hotel is close to downtown, but also close to the more artsy Bario Amón.
Cons: No bottled water or mini fridge provided. There was no milk or creamer for the coffee/tea. The facilities are quite old.

Pros: Great location, staff very friendly and helpful !!!
Cons:
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: Nothing really but the fact that it has a gym, although old and without maintenance.
Cons: Employee lack of education, bad service to the client and outrageous comments on my wife, calling her a prostitute on a matter of letting her go up. They basically understand that if you rent a room for 2 people but your wife it’s not there on the first day, then she’s a prostitute and must pay 70$ to go up the room. Worse: this has the support from the high chain of command, to whom I spoke to directly.

6.2 Good
Pros: The staff
Cons: When we got to the room we didn't have power for the lights or the ac so I called downstairs (the phone worked) and they informed me you have to insert your keycard in a slot by the door to get power. Weird but ok, I'll play along. After a couple hours of trying to get the ac to work and trying to sleep without it, I ended up calling the desk and having them take a look. They couldn't figure it out and moved us to a room right next door, which was an upgrade. The staff was great and helpful with the situation but the new ac didn't work much better. All in all, not a bad hotel. Great location, there was free breakfast we didn't get to enjoy, they opened my bottle of wine, and took great care of my complaint. However, there was a lot of construction which was a little weird to deal with and the ac is a huge thing for me. From the north and my house is constantly freezing.
6.5 Good
Pros: Proximity to everything. Warm water. Decent internet. Good quality sheets and comforter.
Cons: Bed was hard. TV did not work well. No microwave. Thin walls so you can hear everything. No washcloths provided. Bottom entrance closes too early.

I suppose the location was okay but you had to walk through a block and a half of junkies, pimps, drug dealers, etc, etc to get to anything worthwhile.
Cons: Generally hostile attitude from a lot of the staff members, you have to be buzzed into the hostel and let into the locker room and most of the staff are pretty unhappy every time they have to do this. In the dorm I was in, the door couldn't be closed because the bed by the door actually stuck out into the doorway. And this point is amazing, the hostel's solution to only having one 'pan' [' ' are used because it A) didn't have a handle and B) had been used for BB gun practice at some point] is to berate guests that do not immediately wash it after use until they do so rather. This is instead of, I don't know, buying a few new pans. If they read this review they are welcome to use my solution for free as it only took me seven and a half seconds to think of it.
5.0 Okay
Pros: - breakfast is good.
Cons: -The kitchen is a total mess with very few things available. Anyway you cannot use it before 2:30pm, so whatever. And good luck finding some room in the fridge for your stuff. - too few toilets and showers - very noisy, especially if your room is in the main corridor, people can be very loud all night long.
5.0 Okay
Pros: location is good for access to the city and places to eat/drink
Cons: WiFi was terrible. Bedding was musty, shower was cold and windows can be seen through from neighbouring buildings/street. For the price there are better options a little further out. Communal space is not a friendly place to chill out in.
5.4 Okay
Pros: Free towel
Cons: I paid much money because of the fault of the staff. The money is small so it’s not big ploblem for me. But I’m angry because he never apolozised me.

Cons: The breakfast really need improvement , if you like sugar cereals and white bread ( vitamin enriched styrofoam) this is your kind of breakfast, they do serve eggs every second day and they do have fruit and of course coffee. All they really need to do is provide some healthier alternatives to white bread and sugar cereals and I would rate the breakfast much higher, otherwise everything is great.
