Best place to start and finish your trip, they calling any services for you ( rental car, taxi, trips, tour.). The women at the reception is lovely ! She fixing everything even the check in or out. And the hostel is really really quiet.
Great place to stay in SJ for a fair price. Located in a quiet neighborhood and very close to the center (walking distance). The owner is very very professional we felt like we were at a 5 stars hotel ! Always caring for her hosts and gave us a precious help everytime we asked anything.
Front desk staff/staff was great. Helped us out with a Sim card issue which really wasn't their problem.
Beds we're comfortable and breakfast was awesome including a nice girl that made eggs anyway you liked them!
Wouldn't definitely stay again. They only had one hammock though
Nice hostel and good breakfast.
We came to San Jose after staying a month in Cuba, which was rather shocking in regard to price/performance and that you always had to negotiate about everything. So probably this review is a bit biased ;)
About the hostel: from outside it looks quite small and uninviting, but once inside it changes to a small Oase in this - in my taste - dirty city. It always smells wonderful, the staff was always very friendly to us and we could ask them everything we wanted. Best service was that they made photocopies of our passports at 23.30, which we needed to enter Panama, even though we had to pay 1000CRC, how awesome is that? :) the common area with hammocks, billiard and table-tennis was also quite nice and we really enjoyed it. The room was clean and and fulfilled our needs and was quite cheap!
Overall we would go here the next time we are in San Jose in 100 of 100 cases :P
Basic and noise travelled due to odd shaped rooms etc. No blackout for private rooms.
It's OK. It's nice. And location is perfect.
Good Value. Perfect breakfast.
Our family really enjoyed staying at Kaps Place. The staff is very friendly and helpful and the rooms are very comfortable. It's a great hotel alternative for families with kids. There's lots of indoor common areas for kids to play and free high speed wifi all around the property. We've already recommended it to a friend!
