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.

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!!

I stayed at this hostel before and needed a place to rest after my flight and before starting a tour. It was quiet at night time, the room was clean and comes with a shower. Staff is nice, check-in was easy. WIFI worked well. The hostel is in a safe location.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a bit more.
