No pudimos descansar

La amabilidad del recepcionista y de las camareras del restaurant. El wifi funcionaba bien.

La pieza no me gustó nada, se escuchaban todos los ruidos, las almohadas eran muy incómodas y, a pesar de que el desayuno salía que partía a las 6:00, un grupo enorme de gringos, antes de esa hora, ya estaba haciendo muchísimo ruido en el comedor, hablaban fuerte y claramente se escuchaba todo en la habitación, pero nadie del hotel les dijo nada. El desayuno fue muy básico.

Great location easy walking distance to the centre of San Jose

The location was great. We enjoyed the breakfast in the restaurant and found the coffee to be decent. The bar of an evening was a nice place, though a little pricey for San Jose. The atmosphere was excellent and it was lovely to stay in a historic hotel.

It was extremely noisy outside into the early hours which did impact our ability to sleep given the thin windows.

Relevantly cheap accommodation close to San Jose city center.

The neighborhood seems to be a cool, up and coming place. It is located walking distance to the center of the city.

The room did not have a window, it was small and gloomy.

Welcoming, good location, clean and comfortable.

Friendly staff, good location for shopping and restaurants. Spotlessly Clean rooms with comfortable beds.

The breakfast order was misunderstood probably due to language challenges.

Comfortable hotel on the edge of the city centre where we rode out our jet lag. it fitted the bill perfectly.

Comfortable hotel, walking distance from the centre with a restaurant at the side. Close to the casino which is good for people watching. I left the safe open by mistake and nothing was touched. Thanks guys much appreciated. Breakfast fine.

No lift, wasn’t that easy to move your bags around, basic facilities, no frills. Careful at night, one or two dodgy looking characters around.

Mala ubicación

Nada, perdí una noche de hospedaje y preferí pagar otro hotel. Lo único que tiene bueno este sitio es su staff de recepción.

Locación: hotel usado por sexoservidoras que trabajan en la calle de enfrente Comididad: nula Limpieza: la habitación olía a humedad y parecía sucia Desayuno: lleno de moscas Preferí salirme e irme a otro hotel

Perfectly located for exploring the city

The hotel is ideally located, very close to the inner city (walking distance about 10 minutes). The room we had was spacious, clean and comfortable with a window facing a small inner courtyard (apparently there are rooms without windows - be sure to check before booking). The staff was really helpful and friendly. I’d stay there again, if I should ever come back to San José.

All in all a good stay, just the city is enough after a day :)

The location was safe, all in lol I felt quite safe in San José, it took us (a child of four ) to walk to the city Center about 5-10min . The breakfast was good

The room we had was right to the street, on the ground floor, and we had no alternative:(

When I return to Costa Rica, I plan to stay at the Dunn Inn again. Thank you.

The art connected me with the Bribri tribe. My family.

I am limited in walking. 6 blocks to more central activities.

Quartier très glauque... et hôtel tout autant !

Bonne literie et chambres spacieuses c'est déjà ça... et dans l'absolu pas loin du centre, mais hélas pas du bon côté !

Hôtel très vieillissant avec les dalles du parquet qui partent a volo, une douche sans aucune pression à tel point qu'il est presque impossible de se laver, le Wifi qui ne marche pas à mon arrivée puis très mal après appel à la réception... Le petit-dej est probablement le pire de tout le Costa Rica avec deux oeufs, du pain sec et un jus industriel ! Et pour couronner le tout, le quartier est un haut lieu de la prostitution à San José, les prostituées sont alignées par dizaines devant le casino Taormina en face de l'hôtel et de nombreux vieux américains présents étaient clairement là pour ça avec la complaisance des gérants... Bref endroit à éviter surtout pour les familles !

Buen eleccion para estar en San José

El trato del personal fue muy bueno muy atentos haciendome recomendaciones ,caminando llegaba a los lugares de interes como el teatro etc. y para regresar cuando ya era tarde tomaba un uber y no es caro pues la distancia no es mucha, como inclui el desayuno que por cierto es rico y suficiente , un dia salia a un tour muy temprano avise antes de las 9;30pm de un dia antes y me prepararon un luch para llevar , esto me ayudo mucho para ir comiendo en camino a mi tour, ojo si haces esto avisa antes de las 9;30pm, las habitaciones muy comodas me prestaron un placha ,cuando sali en la tarde me senti segura , en la noche al regresar en uber igual me senti segura , si volveria a ser mi opcion

Que ampliaran el horario del desayuno ya que es hasta las 11;0 am y eso me hizo correr , tambien llegue como 10:30.y ya habia muy poca fruta , otro dia ya no habia café tenia que pedirlo y es incomodo, creo deberia estar el servicio de desayuno completo hasta las 11;00 como es el horario .

Beautiful Costa Rican hotel near all the best sites. I will stay here again.

All the staff from the front desk, housekeeping the cafe and the restaurant staff went out of their way to give exceptional service. We enjoyed our stay and the beds and pillows were very comfortable.

Cannot think of anything.

Prostitute paradise

Nothing.

The hotel is basically a brothel for American tourists. Noisy at all times of the day, dubious drugged up women wandering around. They hotel also stole £260/$300 from me. Avoid at all costs, unless you are as disgusting as this place is.

En hotel está muy bien de día, el personal muy amable y de noche no salir porque hay mucho indigente

El hotel de día está muy bien, la habitación que tuvimos es pequeña pero muy limpia, cumplió con todo lo que ofreció, el personal muy amable

La zona es ruidosa de noche y no es seguro salir después de las 9, justo enfrente se paran les sexo servidores y hay muchos indigentes en la zona

Imposible dormir. Mucho ruido

El hotel es bonito y original. La cama individual es grande

Mucho ruido por las noches. Imposible dormir. Cerca hay casino, discoteca y prostitución. Por muy bonito que sea el hotel, si no puedes dormir no sirve para nada. No se lo recomiendo a nadie

Good for one night in San Jose

Nice rooms at a good location to the Caribe bus terminal. Was within walking distance. Good to stay one night. The rooms were suffiently big.

The Breakfast was of low quality and small selection, Would have expected more for this price. The area is a little dodgy, with prostitutes lining up in the street (close to the Casino).

I would stay here again! Basic room accommodations but the staff went the extra mile for us in whatever we needed!

The staff were so friendly, the breakfast was great, location was good.

There were bugs on the beds when we first arrived :( I think a window had been left open prior to our arrival.

Modernized colonial house

The place offers parking (100m away from the hotel) and has a restaurant onsite if it gets dark and you want food (it's open until 21:00pm, the food is just ok) The room was very nice, we got upgraded to the junior suite, it was huge and the bed was very big and comfortable. AC and nice shower too. Also big TV with lots of channels. The location is also good, close to the main avenue It's a beautiful old colonial house and it's nicely decorated

The service was nice. However, when we asked in the morning about what to visit or where to go for a walk in the city, the front desk staff was not very helpful, he did not give us any tip or information, he just did not know The breakfast is quite average, eggs and bacon (cooked when ordered), some fruit, bread and cereals. Although it's not the hotel's fault, our neighbours were very noisy at 2 in the morning and had a barking dog. They were shouting, had the TV on with loud volume and had the door open! We also heard them when they got to the room. The hotel should maybe check the corridors and the cameras more closely

Meh, great facility. Needs some work.

I thought the building was lovely. The rooms were large and clean.

There was a live music band playing in the restaurant one night and it was so loud in my room that I could hear the lyrics to the songs even with earplugs. Also the soap/shampoo/conditioner dispensers didn't work and weren't labeled so it was impossible to know what was what. Had to buy my own toiletries. There were also men bringing sex workers into the hotel. Breakfast was meh.

Comfortable stay in historic Barrio Amon

Located in the historic and interesting Barrio Amon this hotel is a short walk to downtown. When we found that our assigned room had no windows, they quickly and courteously upgraded us to a lovely large room with lots of natural light. Staff were friendly.

Some rooms don’t have windows. The breakfast was the same everyday and after 3 days we chose to eat elsewhere for variety. The shower wasn’t adjustable and the spray was very rough.

Nice respite in San Jose

Super quaint little hotel, very authentic, especially loved the photos in the lobby of what it was like 100 years ago. Great happy hour in the bar!
