Home of the original $9 dorm

Friends, Galileans, Ex-Pats, and Countrymen!

Here at Galileo we pride ourselves on offering a different type of hostel experience. With the owner and staff living on site, we are committed to offering all of the benefits of a hostel while welcoming you into our home.

After taking over a few years ago we have taken the place in great new directions. With the arrival of the Rugged Pineapple Bar, a new puppy, a shark tank, a budding resource library, and plans for expansion, the hostel has truly transformed into something great over the last 3 years.

With all of our expansion we maintain that a trip to San Jose shouldn't break a traveler's budget, that's why we've always offered the most economical option for backpacking in San Jose, Costa Rica. After all, it's our CHEAP BEER, FREE coffee and tea, and the CHEAPEST BEDS IN SAN JOSE that keep people coming back year after year.  That’s why we’re committed to keeping a separate dorm on a first come first served basis at the original GALILEO ONLY - NINE DOLLAR PRICE. Please understand we are doing everything we can to keep Galileo the most affordable and most enjoyable option for you in San Jose, still with FREE internet/wifi, FREE coffee & tea all day long, FREE book exchange, FREE city maps, FREE resource library, and a wealth of FREE JOKES!

We've also released a series of promotional items including Coasters, Stickers, and NEW DISCOUNTS (but don't worry, our famous, "Joke" discount is still going strong!) to help keep Galileo your favorite, and most affordable option in San Jose! We've sent them out throughout the Americas so keep an eye out for them!! Each one's a winner!

Thanks again to all of our friends and extended family, who, over the last three years, helped make us one of the highest rated hostels in San Jose!!! Here's to a great 2012!!!
