Hostel Casa Colon

Great for a night’s rest and a shower in the city centre. Wonderful staff. They provide a loud fan which blocks out all the street noise for a good sleep. Gracias Casa colon!

The linens were clean, however upon arrival there was no running water. There was a large crack in the room under the outside door, I had to stuff a blanket there so animals would not come in. The floors were dirty along with the showers and toilets. The social environment was poor.

It's close to downtown and the tica bus station.

I showed up right at the beginning off the covid mess..... they checked me into a dirty room... the other room smelled of sewer gas ,

We (3 Canadians) took the bus from Panama City to San Jose, Costa Rica (Tica Bus)...arrived closer to mid-night; this location is 5 mts walk from Tica Bus Terminal; Check-in was a breeze; very friendly staff; breakfast was included in our package and we enjoyed it both days; there is a bar (to enjoy beer), though it gets a bit noisy (if you want to sleep before 11)...the Hotel has a lot of character and history; I will definitely like to come back to stay here!

Nice people, clean , dinners are great, free breakfast, attention to detail, affordable, the casa is Antigua and a beautiful building. Great location, close to La Merced , shopping, restaurants etc. easy to walk. over all 100% satisfied. Been staying here the whole month, nice place.

We stayed in the best room they had, #103, which had a private bath, a double bed and bunk beds. We used the bunks for our luggage. Maid came every day and made the bed and swept the floor. Breakfast was free and good--try the "typical". Front desk had some communication problems but everything was worked out. There was a change in ownership on August 1, so it will be interesting to see if this place goes "up" or "down".

Very simple, but clean place to sleep for a low price.

I like this hostal because is confortable and peacefull

good location the building is very cool. restaurant is very convienient and the amenities are great for CR.

I arrived late in the evening with my family and the staff / service was very helpful. Room was clean and quiet - just what we needed before going to the bus station early the following morning.

This was my first trip to Costa Rica, and all the people in the hotel were so helpful, and caring for me. I was able to go on two tours, and picked up directly at the hotel, the breakfast I had the typical food, the lunches were excellent and the room was clean, comfortable and private. I plan to return to Costa Rica in the near future and will stay again here.

Very nice and clean. Pretty loud from traffic noise. Ask for an upstairs room away from road.

Always a wonderful stay at Casa Colón. The entire staff is always very helpful - especially my friend Daniel!! Thanks for another great stay!

Hotel is in a good location. Street and lobby noise was a very small issue for me. Bed was comfortable and room was very clean. Rooms could use a bit of an update (e.g., condition of floors, bathroom fixtures, etc.). Room safe was not working (was open and 'locked' so couldn't be reset). Breakfast was minimal but perfectly acceptable.

Doesn’t look like a hostel at all it’s more like a hotel, it’s so loud at night due to the bar inside the hotel . The shared bathrooms are pretty creepy and felt unsafe . Couldn’t wait to get out of there.

The staff was terrific and very helpful. They also offer airport shuttle service, which was very handy, especially at 6 am! The main rooms are lovely and very comfortable. We had a good selection of various free breakfasts (not offered with dorm rooms) and the coffee was fantastic! Our room had a shared bathroom, which was essentially a line of sinks in the hall, with toilets and showers separate. I had no problem with the cleanliness of the bathrooms or our room. Our room (109) had no windows, which we were aware of when booking, but the a/c worked great as did the big screen TV. We had a queen sized bed and two bunk beds, which we used as luggage storage. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, but the private rooms could use a coat of paint and some patching on the walls. No quite shabby, but approaching it. And the lighting could be improved--warmer lighting and more wattage would make a big difference. However, the bedding was changed every day and the room was insect free. For the price, and for short stays, it's a good place to stay. I recommend Room 109 as it's away from the noise and close to the bathrooms. There are two creaky wooden steps leading up to the door, so if you walk in your sleep, this is probably not the room for you!

Good place to sleep. Neighborhood is safe and plenty of dining options nearby.

sleeping in a 15 x 15 space with 5 other people equals no sleep...never again...

Casa Colon is what it says - a Hostel type of accomodation. It has a good restaurant attached for food and drink in house.
