Relax hostel- laid back accommodation in nice area. We stayed in relax hostel for our first few nights in San Jose. We were in the twin room which was basic and small but comfortable and had a fan. The hot showers are great. There is a lovely garden area to spend time in and pancakes included for breakfast. Mike and his team could not have been more helpful or friendly and relax hostel has a lovely, relaxed and welcoming feel. It’s near a big park, tasty sodas and only a 15 min easy walk to the centre so it’s a great location. Would stay here anytime we visit San Jose!

laid back accommodation in nice area

My favourite hostel in San Jose. The garden is really nice and the communual living room is a nice spot to hang out. Pancakes in the morning are the best! The best part is the people you meet here. I have been many times and always meet amazing volunteers and guests. It is central to everything in San Jose too

Great Backpackers Hostel

This place is in the best location possible! Clean, fun, safe, comfortable and the owner Mike is the man! My spot to crash when in San Jose...Close to everything.  Always meeting new people and having a good time every visit!

Perfect location and perfect host

This hostel is exactly what every hostel should aim for! Originally was supposed to stay at the Selina Hostel but was overbooked but completely glad otherwise I wouldn't have found this amazing place. Great vibes, communal space and super helpful staff. Special shout out to the owner Mike for his extensive knowledge on where the best spots in Costa Rica are. Will definitely be coming back.

Great Hostel!

This hostel has everything you could ask for as a backpacker.  
It’s really good value, good clean kitchen, free breakfast with fresh fruit, free tea n coffee.  
The location is good as it’s slightly out of the main centre but good for supermarkets and buses. 
They will store your luggage too.  I used the hostel 4 times during my 3 month tour of Costa Rica- highly recommended.
Only looses a point for showers being a bit shonky and not enough toilet access when it’s really busy.

Great hostel

There was a mix up in our booking so we came to Relax Hostel as an alternative to the one that had double booked.  It was how I imagined a hostel to be - cheap and cheerful! We had a private room but it was tiny, just about room for the bunk bed. The furniture has all seen better days but the linen was clean.  There were a couple of communal areas, the staff were lovely and the breakfast pancakes were awesome!  No luxury here but a safe place to stay and a warm welcome received!

HORRENDOUS experience!!! First, you can hear everything and everyone around, even from the second floor. Pretty gross to have to listen to a couple have sex right next door when you can hear even the faintest whisper. Also, YOU ARE LOCKED IN/OUT OF THE HOSTEL UNLESS SOMEONE IS AT THE FRONT DESK!!!!!! There is no key or card to get in or out, someone has to be physically at the desk for you to get out of the hostel. I missed my 6am bus because THERE IS NO WAY TO GET OUT ON YOUR OWN!!!!! That is so freaking dangerous. What if there was a fire??? All your guests ARE TRAPPED!!! I had to wait for a lazy staff member to get here hours later and my entire travel plans are ruined. The rooms are small and hot, all the furniture is rundown and stinky. Hated this place with every fiber of my being and I travel A LOT.

Unsafe, dingy, horrible

I was charged $32 for a private room.BARE BONES. It had no window, was tiny with a child's table and chairs no room to hang anything. No amenities. Had to ask for a towel. Very noisey. No hot water.       
 Moved and for $33.50 got a real room with all amenities.
