This place does have lots of shared living space and a nice lawn. the dorms, while packing a lot of people, are spacious. However, I paid a few dollars more for my own room, as I am on a work trip and needed to make sure I could get a good night's sleep. What a horrible decision! the single room... More

Located near San Pedro mall and several bars, Yoses is ideal for overnight stays and large enough to feel right at home. This hostel is one of the largest I´ve stayed in. Restaurant on premises, good internet access, and grassy lawn for relaxation adds to the charm of this prime hostel. More

Casa Yoses was a lively place with young and hip managers that helped us in our search for a cheap hostel near the trocopa bus station. Through they didn't know the recent changes to the bus system, they were very helpful in getting us situated in a nice clean room. If we stay in San Jose again, we will be... More

I think the beds at yoses are so comfortable! The shared spaces are great as well. The kitchen is a bit dirty, but the AutoMercado is right around the corner, so it is great to have a place to cook simple things and store food and beer. I think the private rooms are a little overpriced, and one of them... More

My cousin and I stayed at this hostel In November 2011. We were satisfied with the service and the location. We had heard that it was pretty noisy, but found that not be really the case. There is a pretty good size bar on the hostel grounds. I never really determined whether it was part of the same business or... More

Being that it was off season and that Casa Yoses is a Hostel, I wasn't expecting too much. We were looking for a friendly place to stay for a couple of nights in San Jose before heading out to adventure. I liked the location of the hostel near the university district and figured there would be plenty of friendly young... More

I spent 1 night at this property prior to traveling to Tortuguero. I made arrangements to be picked up at the airport through the hostel. The taxi driver, Israel, was very helpful, since I had several flight delays, but he was right on time to pick me up. The management and staff were extremely friendly. The breakfast was toast, jam...

This is a good hostel to stay if your travelling solo or in a group, it's an easy place to meet people but also there's plenty of space if you just want to hang out with friends. The staff are mostly frindly and helpful though I feel the hostel is a little understaffed and at time it is difficult to... More

Besides the horrible, caved in bed, we stayed in a room overlooking the street, which meant that we were subject to the roar of engines, honking horns, and blaring music. Couple this with the staff, mostly young women with an air of superiority that looked at us in confusion or annoyance with every question. They seemed to find it odd... More
