This is a simple hotel in a northern suburb of San Jose with off-street parking. The owner is responsive and professional, the room was quiet at night (less so during the day) and the bed comfortable. I was able to do some work in the lounge area.

This accommodation has everything you need. Every detail is thought out and the space is comfortable and spacious. From all the hostels I have been this has to be the best one. I felt at home immediately and the host will do everything to make you feel comfortable and are available anytime. At first, I was hesitant as I am a female solo traveler and the place did not have many reviews, but this is due to the fact it’s a new hostel, and now I wouldn’t stay anywhere else when visiting San Jose. The location is very central, eating spots at walkable distance, supermarket, even a cute book store. Felt very safe here!

This is my second time staying in this unit. With it's great location I had no need for a car. There are numerous great restaurants in easy walking distance and Uber is available in minutes at all times. The unit is extremely well organized and secure. It has everything I needed including a clothes washer and dryer. To top it off, the owners are very nice and available with a phone call.

I came to San Jose for my prenatal appointment at CIMA Hospital and stayed at Ester's. It was walking distance from the hospital- even for a 7 months pregnant woman. Communication with the property was very fast. Ester was a saint and helped me book an English speaking taxi driver for my early morning departure. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. If you are traveling for medical tourism or want to stay in Escazu, you can't beat this location.
