Mi Casa Hostel

San José


This converted modernist home in La Sabana has polished-wood floors, vintage furnishings and over a dozen eclectic guest rooms to choose from, including one large dorm and another room that's wheelchair-accessible. Mellow communal areas are comfortably furnished, and the shared kitchen is clean and roomy. There is a pleasant garden, a pool table, free internet and a laundry service.

They also have locations in Playa Cocles and Playa Grande, if you're headed that way.
