COSTA RICA WORKSTATION in San Jose Costa Rica

Costa Rica Workstation is one of the most affordable and charming coworking options in San José. Set inside a beautifully restored colonial house right next to Costa Rica Backpackers hostel and a short walk from the Supreme Court, it offers a unique workspace experience that feels more like working from a friend’s really cool house than a sterile office.

I showed up on a whim one afternoon, and within minutes I felt at home. The tropical garden, the pool, the laid-back vibe — it’s the kind of place that makes remote work in Costa Rica feel like the adventure it should be. And at $1 per hour or $100 a month, the price is almost unbelievably good.

What to Expect

The workspace is spread across several rooms in the colonial house, with a mix of indoor desks and outdoor garden seating. The main work area has shared tables with reliable WiFi and plenty of outlets. There’s a tropical garden with hammocks for breaks, a swimming pool, and an on-site restaurant where you can grab meals throughout the day. The atmosphere is social and international — you’ll meet travelers, backpackers, and long-term nomads.

Pricing

This is where Costa Rica Workstation really stands out: hourly rates are just $1/hour, day passes run $5-8/day, and monthly access is $100/month. These rates include WiFi, free coffee, and access to all common areas including the pool and garden.

Amenities & Services

High-speed internet, free coffee and tea, a swimming pool, tropical garden, on-site restaurant, kitchen access, and free parking. The space also has outdoor workstations under covered areas, which is great during the dry season.

Location & Getting There

Costa Rica Workstation is in the heart of San José, just a few blocks from the Supreme Court (Corte Suprema de Justicia) in the Cuesta de Moras neighborhood. It’s walking distance from the National Museum, the Legislative Assembly, and plenty of restaurants. Buses and taxis are readily available, and Uber works well in the area.

Who It’s Best For

Budget-conscious digital nomads and backpackers who want an affordable, social workspace in the heart of San José. If you’re staying at a hostel nearby and need a dedicated work spot, or if you’re just passing through the capital, this is one of the best values in the country.
