I just stayed one night, so there's not much to say. The showers have warm water, and the beds have curtains. The beds also have sockets and little lamps, but mine did not work lol. They give towels just by providing an ID, which is so convenient! The hostel looks like someone's "villa" inside the city, and renovated for accommodation purposes, so the inside is kind of nice, especially near the pool. They also arrange the taxis for you.

I have stayed at Cando Living multiple times. As a solo traveler, I feel that the location is secure and easily accessed in the city. The accommodations are always clean, and it is easy to get extras (coffee maker, microwave, etc.) Plenty of access to groceries or restaurants in the area. Each room is different, so I find it is easy to get accommodations which function whether I am traveling alone or with a friend or family member.

Cheap and cheerful. Does what it says on the Tin. Great location and shuttle services to and from the airport, which is what we used it for. One night stay either end of the holiday to ensure we were close to the airport once we had dropped our rental car off. Great gym facilities. Friendly staff verbally.

I felt like I was at home. Very nice accommodations with a really cool and calm ambiance. There is a cure courtyard in the center where birds come and pop in. The host Mayela is amazing too. She treats you like you are a part of her family!

The accommodation is perfect for the traveller who wants to travel on a budget and save money for attractions and food, given the cost of the accommodations in San José. The neighbourhood is good, with sodas, more pricey restaurants, supermarkets and cafes within a short walking distance. The hotel is located 15 -20 mins away from the city centre, and has car parks available.

Easily one of the best accommodations in San Jose. You get an amazing furnished apartment for yourself and that too in downtown San Jose. Staffs are very friendly, specifically Mario. I couldn’t have stayed in a better place. I’ll stay here again when I come to San Jose.
