Casa Ridgway
About
On Costa Rica, Casa Ridgway sits between Av. 6 y 8 on Avenida 6A, in the González Lahmann area of San José, 10104. That position places it in the capital rather than on the coast, which makes it a practical first or last stop on a trip through the country.
A 4.5 out of 5 average from 88 reviews reflects a solid record across a good number of stays. The website at http://www.casariddgwayhostel.com/ carries further detail about the property. San José, Tamarindo, Santa Teresa, Manuel Antonio, Jacó, Puerto Viejo, La Fortuna and Monteverde are among the destinations travellers link with a stay in the capital.
First-time visitors can expect a base in San José, with the capital's elevation giving it milder air than the beaches and easy access to buses heading for the coasts and mountains. Gallo pinto, rice and beans fried with onion and coriander, is the standard Costa Rican breakfast, so mornings start with a familiar local dish.
Buses and domestic flights link the capital to the rest of the country, which helps connect a stay here to the coast and the interior. The Pacific coast has a marked dry season, while the Caribbean coast stays wet for much of the year.
