This was out second stay and it continues to be a great value. My only concern was that I was unable to get a warm shower which I really needed. Other that that, the staff is very helpful and the rooms are nice and a great value for the money.

I had a nice, useful description describing all of this, but Expedia's trash AI scanning for rule violations kept rejecting it for no actual discernable reason, so you get this useless blurb instead... since it's required... Good place; will stay again.

I have stayed at the Apartohotel Don Francisco many times on visits to San Jose. The location is fantastic, in a beautiful neighbourhood, and close to many stores and restaurants. The rooms are huge, and have a kitchen, which is great if you don't feel like eating out. It is much more like a private apartment than a hotel, at an affordable price. Automercado is located close by, for all of you grocery needs. It is quiet and comfortable, and the staff are fantastic and friendly. I would highly reccomend.

my favorite escazu hotel. my home away from home. They call me Leo and treat me like a king. Perfect location, wonderful staff, and I travel 280 days a year. this is truly like coming home. Please forward this to the staff if you can. They go the extra mile.

The directions were confusing and did not send me to the right area. I like that there is a front parking area for easy check-in as well as a gated back parking lot area for overnight parking. There are food options close by if you have a car, not really within walking distance. There was a pamphlet in the room with food delivery service options. The rooms are clean and I like that there is a kitchenette available in the room. The showers were a little weird with the change from extremely hot water to ice cold water while in use. I would stay here again.

Great location. Very close to Multiplaza and Hospital Cima. Place is a little old, bathroom had a stink to it and place was a little run down. But it was large in size and the front desk man was very helpful

This is the second time we stayed here. It is close( walking distance) to Dr Garita’s dental office & restaurants. The first time we stayed in a 1 bedroom apt n back which was quiet! This time we stayed in a studio off the lobby & we heard dogs barking & more noise. Also we had difficulty with the WIFi

Enjoyed only one night here but it was great. The kitchen and bath had been remodeled and the linens were good. The kitchen was well stocked and had a small but full size fridge in it. The location is excellent, walking distance to Auto Mercado and Starbucks! The only complaint is that it’s in a residential area so lots of dogs barking in the day and at 3am the roosters were crowing and the dogs joined in the early morning concert :) Pura vida

The best thing about this place was the location. The room was dark with only one window that would not open. Could hear everything. People talking loud outside the room at 1 AM. Building itself was very depressed.

We spent five nights at the Don Francisco, it was our second stay. We chose this aparthotel because of it's location in Escazu where we had a lot of appointments. This is an upscale neighbourhood but the rate is very reasonable and is made even more so by the fact that you have your own kitchen to make meals. There is secure parking and the internet works fairly well when compared to most San Jose hotels. The room was cleaned every day and the staff were friendly and helpful.

was able to walk to medical appointments- however walking back was challenging as it was up a steep hill- appeared to be lots of traffic throughout the whole day- felt safe though- I didn't have a car so felt somewhat isolated even though things were nearby. Didn't see any vending machines or anything. If you have a car you could go shopping and cook in the rooms.. very clean place... had some translation concerns with staff- wasn't able to give advice or provide direction for things to do. managed to explore myself. They said they have wi-fi but no computer for guest to use. I would stay here again now that I know the area and the price was reasonable. Again very quiet place and extremely clean.

This apartment hotel was located near my Dentist, Dr Mario Garita, in a safe area. There were shops and a supermarket close by as well as American brand restaurants.The suite was large with bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living room, 2 TVs... High ceilings made it even more spacious... The room was cleaned daily by friendly helpful staff... Front desk was always accommodating ... It is not a five star hotel and doesnt look like much from the outside front but it is a wonderful place for an extended visit where you can stay without breaking the bank with comforts of your own apartment. I will stay there again on my next visit. I was there 14 nights.
