Nice wee hotel in a really central position. Stayed our last night in Costa Rica here. The room whilst basic and small was comfortable and has a nice view over the pool. The cafe was great and prices were very reasonable. They kindly left tea, coffee, cereal and bread out for us for our 4am start

The photographer for the website should have an award for presenting the hotel in such a good light, appearing much more spacious and beautiful than it really is. The historic atmosphere, kind staff, and good food along with central location are the pluses. Many reviews mention street noise because it is intense. We originally booked a suite (the largest room, and one of those with A/C), but after one night we asked to change to a courtyard room to get away from street noise. (The A/C could not disguise it). We were able to change--none available with A/C--but there was no refund for the much less expensive room. If I were to rate this hotel, I would say 2.5 stars at best. I would certainly recommend it, but know what you're getting into. Rooms are very clean, wifi is good, safety is good. Many guests came to enjoy the pool, but there were only 4 chairs, and only 2 that weren't broken (see photo) The hotel provided a driver to meet us at the airport, which worked out well.

Nettes Hotel, aber kleine Zimmer, laut und der versprochene Kaffee früh vor der Abfahrt (6h) ist nicht da. Rezeption sollte 24h besetzt sein, ist seit über einer Stunde auch nicht da. Schade! Direkt gegenüber nettes argentinisches Restaurant mit guter Bar!

This high-value hotel is tucked back from the street in central San Jose within easy walking distance of the central art market and a wide variety of restaurants. They also offer a shuttle service to the airport, which was very appreciated since we had to make a 6am flight. We had a very small room compared to others in our party for the same price (avoid Room 35, if possible). There was also quite a lot of street noise from our room. Other rooms are located farther away from the street and may not have that issue. But overall, at about $75/night, it's a great option, especially since it includes breakfast. Despite the minor issues, it was much better than staying at the airport, since we were able to walk around San Jose, go to the art market and have one more Costa Rican meal at a nearby restaurant before leaving.

Hotel sans prétention , situé non loin du centre-ville de San José. Le petit-déjeuner y est excellent , sous forme de buffet. Sinon , équipement simple . Personnel avenant. 87 dollars pour une nuit : un peu onéreux malgré tout. Pensez à fermer les fenêtres . Bon restaurant argentin juste en face !

La ubicación muy buena, pero no hay parqueo en el hotel, está detrás de este, llegamos de noche y estaba lloviendo, tuvimos que caminar bajo la lluvia una cuadra, eso fue muy incómodo, solo por eso no volveríamos, menos con niños. La habitación no tenía aire acondicionado, a pesar de que en la reserva ofrecian aire y ventilador de techo, solo estaba este último, si estaba limpia y los paños huelen muy rico. El desayuno incluido estaba bien. El servicio del personal muy bien.

The hotel service was not good. The pictures that are shown on the site do not reflect the actual property. Also, the hotel is a 3 start but everything provided in the room is more like a 2 star. We had a flooding from the shower and the price for 1 night is expensive considering they do not provide you with anything (besides towels and hand soap). The hotel needs to upgrade their rooms and service for the prices they charge per night/room.

We stayed at this hotel at the beginning and end of the trip. The location is great for getting to know the center of San José, the hotel is very pleasant with spacious, clean and comfortable rooms. Breakfast is simple but quite good. Unfortunately we started to hear the noise of traffic quite early.

It has a fair price for what it offers. The accommodations are a bit old but it serves the purpose. The breakfast is nice. And it’s very central. As the windows are a bit old you can ear the whole city by 5 A.M. Ours rooms did not have AC, only fan. We did not miss it.
