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.
The entire staff at SELINA SAN JOSE including Carrey Sofia Steven Celeste Mairon Sergio and Andre go out of their way to make your stay memorable.
I checked out Ap29/2023 and found it so hard to say goodbye to everybody since we have developed deep friendships.
I go to Selina SJ every few months for Proceedures and I have friends here who I have such fond memories with.
One time I left without saying goodbye since it was too heartbreaking saying goodbye.
I see many guests and staff returning here month after month
