In The Wind Hostel And Guesthouse

Address: 100m west of Roosevelt School, San Pedro, San José, 11501, CR
Location: San Pedro
Star rating: 1.5/5
Guest rating: 8.6/10 (28 reviews)
Review: I am grateful for the amazing affordability of this hostel which was also paired with a low-key easy-going atmosphere. When I was told that there would be “a pancake” in the morning I wasn’t expecting much but I was happily surprised to discover that this pancake was very large, neither over cooked nor under cooked and it was decorated with two different fruits on top along with syrup of course. Thank you! I’m so grateful., by Caleb, May 13, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: This hostel is better than the pictures advertised, the staff are very friendly and respectful. Plenty of room in the main area to hangout and meet people. Front door is a buzz to open door, which I’m sure makes some people feel more safe. Hostel also offers massage services and I think they do 10 minutes for free with purchase. They have a small shop next door if you need snacks, drinks or a beer, in the back of the shop they have electric scooters you can rent. Staff are very lenient with..., by Christian, April 8, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Lolas is decorated beautifully and is so adorable. It felt super safe as there were cameras everywhere and it was gated.
