    We had a warm welcome from the lovely family running the hostel. The room, although small, had a comfortable bed and provided a good night's sleep. The communal areas were spacious and well-equipped, with a big kitchen and a cozy living room. The location in a safe neighborhood near Parque la Sabana was a plus. Breakfast was tasty, with pancakes and a variety of syrups. it was a pleasant stay and I would recommend this hostel.

    The rooms at Gaudys Hostel were simple but comfortable, with thick and comfy beds and pillows. The hostel's location was excellent, just three blocks away from a supermarket and the bus stop to the airport. The staff were warm, friendly, and professional, providing a welcoming and supportive environment. The breakfast provided was good, and there was also a great little soda nearby with delicious food and affordable prices. a great place to stay, especially for friends who enjoy going out at night.

    Felt welcome, no reason to complain.

    I really got my money's worth at this hidden gem of a hostel. The room was cozy and the beds were super comfortable. The location was perfect, close to the bus station and within walking distance of supermarkets and the park. The staff were wonderful and went above and beyond to help me with everything I needed. Warren, in particular, was incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home. I even got great wifi connection for my remote work. I can't wait to stay here again on my next visit to this city.

    The morning meal could be improved by extending the breakfast hours, as one hour seems a bit short for a hostel with young people. Maybe they could consider keeping it open until at least 10 am.

    The location of Gaudys Hostel was ideal for our needs. It was close to the bus station and provided easy access to both San Jose and the airport. The property itself had a unique layout, with cozy seating areas and a homey atmosphere. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast provided was simple but satisfying. We also appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, who pointed us in the right direction for transportation and assisted with arranging a sim card. our stay at Gaudys Hostel was enjoyable and we would recommend it to others.

    While we had a generally positive experience, there were a few drawbacks worth mentioning. The noise from the surrounding area and other guests could be a bit disruptive at times, and the lack of plugs and lights near the beds was slightly inconvenient.

    I had a wonderful experience staying at this hostel. the staff was incredibly friendly and professional, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. the kitchen area was well equipped and perfect for preparing and storing food. the furnishings may have been modest, but they were comfortable, making it a great low-cost option. the layout of the hostel was fantastic, with covered patios and plenty of couches to relax on. the Owner employees were the best and made my stay truly special. the hostel's location was convenient, with a large grocery store and convenience store just a few blocks away. It was an easy walk to central market, downtown parks, and commercial areas. the daily breakfast and fresh fruit were a nice touch. I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else in the area. Cons: Not one thing! 😊.

    Great location, close to supermarkets and affordable food options. Perfect for those taking the bus to or from the airport. Helpful and accommodating staff.

    Lack of cleanliness in the rooms, with hairs on the bathroom floor. Noisy rooms, with sound easily traveling from neighboring rooms.

    The location of the hostel was convenient, being close to the bus station. the staff was helpful and the breakfast was delicious, although the portion size was a bit small. the common areas were spacious and there was a nice outdoor patio.

    Some guests mentioned issues with cleanliness, such as finding hair in the bathroom and on the beds.
