Curtains on the bed which is a killer feature to get some intimacy and sleep better. Common spaces are well designed. Yoga class in the morning is highly recommended. People are welcoming but usually won't stay for long as San Jose is usually a step to go somewhere else. Except a few co-workers.

Selina has a nice kitchen area/nice common room and offers many activities to backpackers which is nice. However, some of the rooms (our room) are literally in the kitchen, meaning that you hear everything. They have a silence policy (after 0:00) however no one makes sure it is actually silent which can be a problem after a long journey. Our main problem during our stay of one night (happy it was just one) was that the room was very dirty. There were cockroaches lying around, hairs of previous guests in the bed and we wonder if the room was cleaned at all. We are both backpackers who have stayed at multiple hostels in Costa Rica. We had good experiences at all of them except for the Selina Hostel in San Jose. When we mentioned it to the staffmember at reception, her response was "oh I did not know that, thanks for letting me know". An apology would have been the right thing and actually checking the room to see why we mentioned this would have been the professional thing to do. Also the photo's of the advertisement are definitely not what you get once there.

So if your in your twenties and like noise and don’t care you spent over a $100 for a private room that you cannot walk around the bed, no tv, no AC, dirty shared bathroom, one towel for 2 people, this is the place for you. The staff was nice and food was good enough, but we will not stay here again for the high price alone.

Initial room had no windows and ventilation was inadequate and so the room was extremely hot. Asked to be relocated and the new room was a complete mess and reaked of body odor when I walked in. Feel the property should manage that better. No large lockers for personal items which made it very inconvenient. Breakfast and was excellent

Selina is always my go to choice when travelling for its safety, it’s people and it’s events. There is always something going on and the people are friendly. The room I got was private didn’t really need too should of booked a dorm as they are really big and comfortable beds.
