Great for a late flight in”

I stayed here because it was close to the airport and I didn’t want to backtrack through San Jose since I was heading to La Fortuna the next day. It was clean, safe, and probably has more an atmosphere when there isn’t a pandemic happening. There didn’t seem to be many guests when I was there. I’m planning on staying again before my flight out.

Clean room, great location”

Free airport shuttle, clean room, nice roof bar

Stayed here both at the start and at the end of our trip. The dorm was nice and clean, but a private shower would've been nice. The double room was really good. Nice and clean. The rooftop bar is a must when you stay here!

只要 10 美金有機場接送服務的超值過境旅館”

當初選這裏是因為離機場近,入住後才發現還有機場接送服務,整體住宿品質還不錯,環境也算乾淨,另外這地點就在市中心,生活機能相當方便。晚上樓下會有卡拉 OK 的唱歌,但只持續幾分鐘,完全不影響睡眠,另外他的 dorm 房並沒有每張床都有插座是比較不方便。
