Everything is clean. The dorm, the bathroom and the kitchen. The house seems to be older, but it's obvious that it's been taken care of. There is immediate hot water in the shower. The area is very safe and you can reach the centre of San José easily by bus.

In the Wind Hostel is located close to the university in San Pedro, San José. The Hostel was very clean, with common spaces being cleaned several times per day. Breakfast of coffee and pancakes is included. Also the kitchen is well equiped.

This was my first time in this hostel. I had a room with private bathroom away from the street and I was quiet after 9pm even though it was full the days I stayed, even though there is no sound proof at all in the hostel. The room smells fresh. I was satisfied so I was back again almost a month later when I need to be around UCR. But the second time was a disaster.
