Situated in San José, 4.7 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park, Eco Stay Hostel features accommodation with a garden, private parking, a shared lounge and a terrace. Located around 6.2 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica, the hostel with free WiFi is also 9.1 km away from Parque Diversiones. The accommodation provides a shared kitchen, a concierge service and currency exchange for guests. I loved my visit. David and Marta were so helpful and made me feel really welcome.  I stayed for 5 nights in the single room with private bath and balcony. The room felt very private (I rarely and barely heard the people in the dorm next door) and I had everything I needed, including a big fan.  The balcony was great, strong wifi, good breakfast, and the back garden area was so peaceful, both day and night. I felt really safe. It was close to a lot of great places. The China House around the corner has really good food and.  There is a gym across the street where I swam laps twice. (Bring your own swim cap if you can because they are expensive and required!) During the day I walked to the Jade Museum and the National Museum (about 10-15 minutes).  Both are great spots! I took a quick uber to the Butterfly Garden and the nearby Zoo (actually a wildlife refuge, not what I would typically consider a zoo). They were both such peaceful spots to visit nestled into the bustling city. Having Barrio Escalante nearby was great.  I would have walked during the day but usually went at night around 9 or 10, so I took Ubers.  Lots of great restaurants and bars! Jardin de Lolita and Cafeoteca were my favorites.  On my last night, a Friday, I walked around Barrio Escalante. There was so much going on! Also, most of the travelers were in their 20s. I am in my mid to late 40s and felt comfortable. It is not a noisy hostel. Very chill and respectful. Great area to stay in!

Hotel de conveniencia Travesía urbana is set in San José, 8.6 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica and 10 km from Parque Diversiones. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is situated 7 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park.

Staff at the hostel are available to provide advice at the 24-hour front desk. Small hostel with the family living on premise. They were very kind and accommodating. Everything was kept very clean. Excellent wifi. A good portion of San Jose is a little dangerous these days but this neighhborhood felt quite safe. It has quite a few restaurants (and a good gym) within walking distance but lacks a nearby laundry service and not offered by the hostel. Something to ponder if you plan on staying longer. Bed was comfortable.

Casa Pandora Hostel Women Only is situated in San José, within 7.5 km of Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica and 10 km of Parque Diversiones. Among the facilities at this property are a shared kitchen and a shared lounge, along with free WiFi throughout the property. The property is non-smoking and is set 6 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park. I loved the location of the hostel, in Bario escalante, which is safe and vibrant. Communication with the host was great and I very much appreciate all the info about busses and transport to make the most out of my limited time in Costa Rica. There are enough showers, sinks and toilets on the corridor, I never had to wait to use one. The space is clean, with high ceiling and airy. I loved the fact that they have paper towels and the whole digital codes with clear instructions on what to use where.

The property is situated 1.1 km from La Sabana Metropolitan Park, 1.6 km from Estadio Nacional de Costa Rica and 5.2 km from Parque Diversiones. The accommodation features a shared kitchen, room service and currency exchange for guests. I had a wonderful stay at this hostel. The place was clean, comfortable, and quiet, which made it perfect for the work I needed to get done and for resting after a long flight (they even let me check in early upon arrival, which was greatly appreciated). The wifi was good and stable, which was a huge plus. I had to catch an early bus the next morning, way before breakfast time, and the lady was kind to leave me some basic breakfast items (cereal, milk, banana, and bread) in the kitchen the night before. Although I didn’t leave the hostel, I saw on the map that it was very well located with shops and restaurants nearby. Highly recommend this place!
