**WHO ARE WE?**- Over a year ago, two young travelers bought Galileo and have since transformed it into a fun & funky home for like minded backpackers. With a color palate that looks to have been picked out by Ray Charles himself, and everything from Christmas decorations to surfboards, and box monsters to wanted posters adorning the walls, this truly is one of the most unique hostel experiences in Costa Rica. Everyone on the staff (Galileans), including the owners (whacky) live onsite, so if you've got a question we're always around. Come let us welcome you into our lively and distinctive home! **WHAT'S AROUND?**: Located in one of San Jose's safest neighborhoods, Galileo is across the street from the British & Israeli Embassies, and two blocks away from the Spanish Embassy. We're only one block away from the city's largest park, complete with a 16 cable canopy zip line, tons of soccer pitches, a lake for fishing (we've got the gear), running trails, and even GO KARTS! We're only a 5 minute walk from a HUGE supermarket, morning fresh market, and tons of convenience stores. 'But, what if I need money?' We're one block away from three major banks with more just down the street. 'I'm hungry and I don't want to cook.' Check out our binder full of recommendations, we're walking distance to Costa Rican, American, Israeli, Lebanese, Argentinean, Brazilian, Japanese, Chinese and Mexican restaurants! (as well as everyone's favorite fast food joints!) **WHAT DO I GET?**: I'm glad you asked! Come check in and check out. We've got an atmosphere that will help you forget you're in the middle of the city. After a day enjoying the markets & museums of San Jose, or just taking several backpackers and a soccer ball with you to the park next door, come back and relax in our bar with a cold beverage or take a HOT shower, park in a hammock, and catch up with mom and dad with free Wi-Fi.
