    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...

    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.

    I stayed for two nights by myself, and very much enjoyed the overall vibe of the place. The pancakes in the morning were delicious and the staff were friendly. I will absolutely stay here again if I am back in San Jose.
