OYO Casa De Huéspedes San José

Wi-Fi was the one good thing. The beds and pillows had stains and so much hair, and the rooms were covered in cobwebs. It smelled damp, with cockroaches all over the place. Even the kind receptionist seemed at a loss when he saw the evidence. The photos make it look better than it is. It’s a seedy hostel, absolutely filthy, with furniture that’s poorly maintained. I spent the whole night chasing cockroaches and waiting for daylight so I could leave. It sounds ridiculous, but I wouldn’t pay for my worst enemy to stay here. Cheap is one thing, but it shouldn’t mean dirty and unsanitary.

The price was very affordable, and I found the place clean with friendly service. No issues apart from the shower having no hot water.

We couldn’t sleep or use the bathroom because it was full of cockroaches. We killed about seven, along with spiders, and the ceiling was covered in cobwebs. The sheets were dirty and full of hair, and it didn’t seem like they clean. Very bad, spend a little more and sleep somewhere decent.

The photos they show are far from what it’s really like. There were poor hygiene and safety conditions: the door wouldn’t lock, the room smelled bad, the bathroom was dirty and not working, and the air conditioning was noisy. I’ve attached photos.
