Summary: Flight arrived at 10pm, requested transportation 1 month prior from the airport with flight details. Got a message from the hostel the morning I was to arrive that they couldn't provide a shuttle. That was the only reason I booked this place. Staff was OK, by the time I finally got an Uber, it was well after 11pm and I had a shuttle picking me up at 5am, so wasn't there long, no storage for your bags, so I was up most the night nervous about falling asleep without my bags being secure. Also when I arrived, I was starving from traveling all day to find out that there was absolutely zero restaurants or bars open after 10pm. I wouldn't book this place again, but it was OK if you get an earlier flight and don't mind not having a place to lock your belongings up.

Summary: As advertised: a place to sleep and shower. No frills. Decently clean. Shuttle service was prompt and it took no more than 10 min to get to the sleepy at mid morning.
The only disappointment was that the rooftop bar is closed on Mondays (which was the only night I was there). I was looking forward to cooling off in the breeze up there and having a drink.

Summary: The room was on the street and the windows don’t close fully (there is a gap at the bottom), therefore not isolated at all, which means you hear the whole traffic day and night. It’s impossible to sleep straight through the night.
The room was basic and clean

Summary: This is ideal for a quick stop over if you've had a late flight into SJO, before you travel elsewhere in Costa Rica. The room was basic, very rickety old bunk beds that I was concerned might break as I was climbing up and down the ladder! The drains smelled absolutely terrible, I'm not sure what it was, but you can't spend long in the bathroom! Airport transfer was very helpful. Staff were reasonably helpful but not particularly friendly, which now I find unusual, after going elsewhere in Costa Rica, and people being SO nice! Essentially, good for a quick layover, I wouldn't stay longer.
