We had a very comfortable stay and the breakfast was excellent. It was perfect for what we needed and at a good price. The safe and one of the lights didn’t work. As it’s central, it is noisy in the mornings.

Its an ok place to stay at for 50 dlls a night. Beware that it is located at the very downtown of San Jose so besides the fact that fortunately I didnt go through any inconvenieces it still seemed somewhat unsafe specially if you are traveling with your girlfriend or kids. Dont expose them.
Tourist locations are located nearby, I walked to those. Hotel functions were ok except for the fact that the water was coming out warm instead of hot. The staff was attenentive and helpful

Great place to stay if you want to get a real feel for San Jose. It’s not super pretty but I felt safe and it had everything I needed

We took the local bus from San Jose airport to the Tuasa bus station. Just a short walk from the station brought us to Novo hotel, which is located in the thick of the city. Walking from the hotel to the National Museum and other sights was easy and interesting, with shops, buskers and street sellers to explore on the way. The hotel itself is a little dated, but our room was big with a comfortable bed, got walk - in shower, fridge, good a/c and TV. The 24 hour reception gave us easy check out when we left at 5am to catch the bus back to the airport. This was a great place to stay in San Jose.

Great location! You can walk to nearby shops, parks, restaurants, and a bus station that goes to the airport. I love that we can leave our luggage and they have a place to hold it so we can drop our car off. The on-site restaurant is delicious and the staff are friendly and helpful. The room was clean and the bed was comfy. The street traffic can get a little noisy but I can easily fall back asleep. I have stayed here before and will continue to do so in the future.

A very basic but clean and friendly hotel. It is very close to the bus stations (ex: Tuaso bus to the airport)....2 minutes walk with luggage. The hotel is in the downtown, central market areas....lots of butcher shops, clothes shopping, fast food, and casinos. The breakfast is simply but good. The staff is friendly and professional. No luxury but safe, clean, and friendly.

Hotel Novo is a plain, decent hotel. Everything works. The staff is friendly and helpful. Good rates, with a good breakfast included. The neighborhood is typical of a busy city. Best of all, the hotel is around the corner from Avenida Central, a long, lively pedestrian mall that includes the vibrant Mercado Central.

The hotel is reliable and functional. The staff were friendly and helpful. The block in front of it isn't that great, but it's around the corner from the pedestrian mall that leads to the mercado and other shopping, food, and drinks. Very convenient. Good value.

Room was a good size, very clean, good air condition, large bright windows, comfy double bed, clean bathroom with hot shower, tv worked fine many English channels, felt secure, and quiet, decent breakfast in the morning, helpful friendly staff.
Location convenient where Paseo Colon meets Avenida Central close to Central Market.
The area requires caution at night.
Overall was pleased with the hotel which offers a lot for the relatively inexpensive price, my girlfriend and I would definitely go back.

Hotel Novo is located in the perfect location for walking San Jose. You can hear and feel the hustle and bustle of the city. If you want quiet and peaceful, this is not the place for you but to "feel" the city of San Jose in your bones, stay right here! The staff is great from the front desk to the cleaning personnel to the dining facility. Don't miss the chance to experience San Jose to the fullest! Wake up early to the sounds of the street and let those same sounds lull you to sleep at night. I will definitely return to the Hotel Novo!

Very convenient for the centre of San Jose. The rooms and bathroom were dated but clean. It was noisy at night as in the centre but ear plugs did the trick

We stayed here just to crash for the night before our early departure flight to SJO. I picked this hotel because it is just ~2 walking blocks from the bus station to the airport. It is also walking distance to a street that is lined with shops/restaurants/sodas and no car traffic.
Check in was quick. Check out was great too because we left at 3:45am and the receptionist was there (lightly asleep on the couch) to quickly process us out.
The room was mostly clean and spacious. I will say a cockroach ran into the room with us but we just saw one. And this is the city. And the price is fantastic.

The hotel is pretty great all around. Great location walking distance to the bus stain that goes to the airport. Breakfast is included and it's delicious. The rooms are clean. Shops and restaurants are close by. The only thing i can think that might put people off is the sound of the street traffic but i don't mind it. I always stay here when I'm leaving Costa Rica

You’ll be surprise, as the picture of the hotel in the site is nothing like the real thing. Roaches in the room, towels with holes, terrible in general. Location is good, but a super sketchy area.
