Very attentive service. Hotel had character—in a good way! Train did not disturb me at all. It’s a bit worn—a broken tile here, faded blankets…but we were safe and comfortable and enjoyed the neighborhood. The free parking was what sold me on the place. Very pleased, will stay again when in San José.

Excellent location, wonderful staff, small rooms but with all that you need. Hotel is very near a noisy railway, so bring earplugs! My biggest problem was a snoring neighbour who was so loud he could be heard from three rooms away. His poor wife...

Unique hotel and friendly staff. The location is convenient and walking distance to restaurants and you can walk co city center…a bit of a walk but very doable.

Great location for city centre and local restaurants, bars and coffee shops. But pack ear plugs - it's close to the rail tracks and tooting starts at 5.30 but it's not unpleasant.

I like this property because of its location, boutique, quiet and reasonable price. It is a large house and felt more like a home than a hotel. The small garden breakfast area was nice. The staffs were all kind, smiling and helpful. The airport pickup service took a lot of worry out for my late evening arrival with a price similar to a taxi. Uber is not legal in San Jose, therefore airport pickup is troublesome. I used Uber at other times without problem. The location of the hotel is excellent with walking distance to tourist spots in downtown. The neighborhood is upper-middle class and felt safe. They have different sized rooms according to your needs. I found out later that Hillary Clinton stayed there in 2005. The wife of the owner was a painter. She gave Hillary a flower painting. I would recommend it.

Hotel 1492 It’s a gem in the heart of SJ. Small colonial style hotel, with nice spacious rooms, comfortable mattresses. Walking distance to Central ave, Jade museum, National museum, National theater etc. Behind the corner from Bario Escalante where you can enjoy all types of restaurants and night life. Quiet neighborhood, birds woke us up. Freshly made breakfast served in a nicely decorated dining room. It is best if you want/need to spend few night in the center of SJ.

My wife and I stayed there for five nights in a standard room in the back next to the kitchen. The hotel is old but very clean and attractively decorated. At the back of the hotel there is a garden and kitchen with a microwave and kettle for the guests to use. The front desk was attentive. It was generally quiet except for a couple of mornings at 6:00 AM. The only negatives were the extremely weak internet (being at the back of the hotel), the small rooms and the very large legs of the wooden bed frame which I kept hitting with my knee. But the positives outweigh the negatives and we would return.

Good location, friendly staff. Unfortunately it was very noisy. Couldn’t sleep the whole night. The door bell kept buzzing and people were loud after midnight. Reception didn’t do nothing about it.

Beds only had fitted and top sheets no bed covers, mysterious stains on all the covers and pillow cases. Staff was very rude telling us we were crazy for thinking there needed to be a second bed cover underneath, towels were disgusting and stained, walls were stained and there seemed to be a footprint on the ceiling of the bathroom.

The Hotel 1492 has a welcoming staff. The decor is bright and cheerful, and there are many spaces to sit both inside and in the beautiful garden. The building is old, but has character. Delicious breakfast, convenient to many restaurants. We'll be back!

A Good small hotel, that meets my basic needs for my short stays in San Jose. Small Clean rooms, good cafe with the breakfast, reasonable priced and in a secure location. Bonus for being in the trendy neighborhood of Escalante. Which may make it the biggest bargain in this trendy area that is know for it galleries, restaurants and bars... Glamorous it is not, but comfy it is, in this old architectural gem.

Beautiful place, very well located. The common spaces are very nice, room are small but very clean. It's a great way to stay in a "typical" costa rican house at a very low price. Employees are nice, excellent service, although almost none spoke English or French. But they were very helpful and did everything to help in every situation. The environment is nice, great neighbour, lots of nice restaurants and bars, down-town 15 min walk. Fully recommend.

Hotel was located near city center and restaurants. The building and the garden were nice, but the room was very small and worn out. The lock of the room was broken. The bed was not comfortable.
