Curtains on the bed which is a killer feature to get some intimacy and sleep better. Common spaces are well designed. Yoga class in the morning is highly recommended. People are welcoming but usually won't stay for long as San Jose is usually a step to go somewhere else. Except a few co-workers.

The hostel is very nice and stylishly furnished and is very well located near the city center, so that all the big museums and the theater as well as many bars, cafes and restaurants are within walking distance. It is a hostel, so you can't expect absolute peace and quiet, but I didn't find it disturbing. Street noise is negligible. The staff is very friendly and helpful, everything is clean. By car from the airport, the journey takes about 40 minutes outside of rush hour.

Since I couldn't get on the plane at Hong Kong Airport and the airline refused to let me fly (there is evidence to prove it), I contacted the hotel to check out in time. The hotel customer service said at first that it was OK, check out! Later, I contacted the hotel again, but they didn't reply to my message, kept making excuses, and kept saying it was pending. As of now, 6 days have passed, and the hotel customer service has not replied to any message.

Don’t book here!! Hotel closed it’s doors and didn’t let us know anything in advance. After a long flight we were hoping to have a good rest, but unfortunately we had to hear from the neighbours that the hotel closed its doors a couple of weeks ago. Don’t think we’ll be seeing our money back..

Good hostel in general BUT they charged me 130$ on my account instead of 25$ …. I asked for a refund but they didn’t want to give me in cash. Even if it’s their mistake. I had to fill a form but after almost 3 weeks no sign of any refund. I’m very disappointed. So Unfortunately I won’t recommend it.

Worst Ceviche and Taco barrio ever tasted. Ordered the Falafel burger and was told they ran out of Buns! Hummus not available in a menu showing 13 items!! Stayed here two years ago and felt compelled to write this review to save disappointment. Get Uber Eats folks just not from Selena restaurant as a meal solution!!!

The hostel is very nice but I really want to leave my comment for the absolute fantastic massage I got here. This place is a got choice but booking one in-house massages with therapist Oscar was the best I could have added to my stay. I highly recommend it.

We stayed in Selina San Jose during the first and last nights of our trip. Neither both experiences were great: the first time we had dinner on Selina's restaurant, but there were no beer or sodas, and you can't take your own, but at least the room was OK. The second time, we had room 415, which has an indoor window to the hallway: we heard every noise from the Common area (talking, cooking and even the piano!) and we couldn't sleep well because of the hallway light. Both times, the breakfast options were limited because of lack of ingredients (such as bread or eggs). Rumor has it they are changing owners and that's why everything is so bad.
