Great hostel! Very clean and has a very comfortable and spacious common area (with an air hockey table), and a nice garden. Friendly and helpful staff. The dorm beds have curtains for privacy. Close to city center. Really good breakfast, and you can also get homemade ramen for lunch or dinner (really good ramen, and it could be useful if you don't wanna go out to the streets of San Jose after dark). There were lots of nice backpackers at the hostel. I really enjoyed my stay there : )

My stay at Ester's Place was just great! The host was VERY friendly and accommodating. I picked the location because of its proximity to CIMA where I was scheduled to have some dental work. The medical complex is a short, enjoyable walk through a nice, safe neighborhood, which allowed me to save on parking fees. My room was spacious, secure, and comfortable, with everything I needed, and Ester was only a text message away if I had any questions. I will definitely stay here again!!
