🌟 5-Star Review for Hostel Casa Colón, San José
I had a fantastic stay at Hostel Casa Colón — it exceeded my expectations in every way. The location is incredibly convenient, especially if you’re heading to or from the airport or bus terminals. The staff were welcoming and helpful, offering great local tips. My room was clean, secure, and surprisingly quiet despite being in the city. The common areas are stylish and spacious, with a cozy on-site restaurant that serves excellent breakfast and coffee. It truly felt more like a boutique guesthouse than a typical hostel. Highly recommend for solo travelers, couples, or anyone looking for comfort and value in San José.

Great for a night’s rest and a shower in the city centre. Wonderful staff. They provide a loud fan which blocks out all the street noise for a good sleep. Gracias Casa colon!

La réceptionniste ne parle pas anglais, les draps et serviettes sont sales et il n’y a aucune insonorisation par rapport à la rue qui est très passantes (l’hôtel est dans un angle, ce qui double le trafic). Cerise sur le gâteau, le quartier qui est fréquenté par des toxicos qui font les poubelles. Franchement, réservez ailleurs!

Don’t stay here
The linens were clean, however upon arrival there was no running water. There was a large crack in the room under the outside door, I had to stuff a blanket there so animals would not come in. The floors were dirty along with the showers and toilets. The social environment was poor.

I came from a late meeting in Escazú and required a place to stay downtown. I chose Casa Colón becaus of its historical architecture and design. At the time of Check-In, I attempted to perform a wire transfer via SINPE and the bank system was undergoing maintenance. Christopher, the attendant, was noble enough to allow me use the internet connection on the site and call a friend to pick me up. Even though I did not stay, the customer service experience was awesome. Please that Christopher Miranda for his welcoming smile and detailed care to clients. I encourage more of that in this industry. Thanks. Isaiah Thomas Watler @watlergermany55
