Relax Hostel Reviews

Relax Hostel is definitely a place to kick back and relax!

The Location

Relax Hostel is located just off the main avenue, which makes it really accessible to the local buses within San José, especially if you are coming in from the airport (you can ask the driver to get off near Calle Twenty). It is within walking distance to a couple of different supermarkets and it is easy enough to use local buses to get you closer to some of the main bus stations that connect to other towns in Costa Rica.

Rooms and Bathrooms

The rooms are large and spacious and are made even more large and spacious by having extremely large lockers in the hall that can house pretty much your entire luggage. If you have your own lock, that is great; if not, don't fear, they long them for a deposit or they can sell you one. The beds are comfortable enough for sleeping, but if you're not great at top bunks, be warned that we observed no ladders to help you get into them or out of them.

The bathrooms are also lovely and spacious and fitted with electric heaters for the showers. In the morning, there might be a bit of a queue, as there aren't enough bathrooms at times for the number of people staying there.

Common Spaces

The house is riddled with little corners that have lounge chairs or tables and chairs that you can enjoy. The downstairs area has a bar, with an open area in one part where they serve free pancake-and-fruit breakfast in the mornings. This opens into the outside garden, and there are heaps of places to sit and relax or to meet people.

There is a large kitchen that you can use during your stay; it's equipped with everything you will need in a kitchen. There is a fridge with markers for labeling things but there's a shortage of places to store dry food. The kitchen can be pretty busy at times, so you may need to wait to use it.

Summary

The staff here are excellent and super helpful. There is also the entire bus schedule along the wall to help you in planning to get to your next destination. Overall, this is a great little hostel, and they have security with a front fence so that outsiders can't get in, making the place quite secure.
