Toucan Hostel

"My experience did not quite match the enthusiastic reviews left earlier here. I think it's fine as a cheap airport stopover place, with a few caveats. The main one: be sure you get the right room! I was given a room two doors down from the office and the entrance to the hotel and it was very noisy, especially as the walls are paper thin and there are large windows between rooms that have been covered with dark film for privacy but of course let a lot of sound through. Oh right: it was kinda warm also and only had a small fan to blow air in from the hallway for ventilation. When I asked to change rooms I was told the only other option was a bunk room. Having already paid (big mistake!) I thought I'd give it a go. After a while I realized there was no way I'd be able to sleep with the noise so I asked to cancel and for a refund. They said that was not possible and then finally said there was another open room upstairs so I moved to there. It was much better and had a quiet air conditioner, so things worked out. But it's worth noting that even upstairs in the better rooms you hear everything in the hallway so are likely to be woken up at times unless you sleep very soundly. Personally, I'd go for one of the similarly priced Airbnbs in Alueta next time, even as the Toucan is not unreasonable for what it is. Oh right: it is true that it's very clean, as others have said, so that's good!"

Airport SJO Residence 2 Edward & Familia

"Edward was helpful and kind just like what other review said. Needed a place close to the airport for the next day super early flight. Yes you for sure will hear airplane even late at night. That didn’t bother us as we are deep sleepers."

Rivera Family Airport Apartments

"When our Uber first dropped us off I wasn’t real sure about the street it was located on because it seemed a little sketchy. But I noticed lots of people walking down the street with suitcases and realized there was a hostel across the street and down a little bit. Once we checked in we sat on their terrace and drank a beer and was just noticing the people walking up and down the street and realized it was perfectly safe and felt like I was experiencing a typical Costa Rican neighborhood. Our room was kind of small but very clean and perfect for what we needed. We were only staying one night and catching a plane early in the morning. Our room also had a small balcony that looked over the street. I would definitely stay here again"
