5 stars for the location of the hotel and the beautiful view from the garden. We had a good breakfast and the staff was nice.
Minus one star for the room. Ours had carpet, I don't understand how there can be carpet in a tropical humid climate! Overall, though, it's a decent hotel for a short stay in san jose.
4.3
Nice pool and grounds
Oscar was una buena nota
4.3
The view on the back lawn was absolutely breathtaking, serene and the epitome of vacation. Also the breakfast was perfect and the staff was very kind and accommodating without exception.
Walking in the local area was a little tricky for non locals. Felt a tiny bit uninviting.
4.3
Breakfast was decent. Bed was comfortable. Facility was clean.
Rooms look much larger in the photos. Noise from motorcycles climbing the nearby road was excessive.
Breakfast was good, but dinner was not. We ate there two nights and pork loin the first night was Ok, but seafood risotto the second night was horrible. Worst two meals we had on our three week trip to CR. Manager offered free desert, but damage was already done.
4.3
Beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Very nice decor with good attention to detail. The view of the city was incredible to see with an evening drink. Breakfast was great and had a good selection. Free shuttle to the airport was also a great addition. Staff were very responsive to our questions and helped organize things
No complaints. We didn’t have a car so it isn’t the easiest place to get to, but we knew that when booking. Ubers were relatively easy to get.

Corner room #23 seems very private and has a nice view of the pool and the city. Bed was most comfortable of all we had in Costa Rica. Shower space was good. Staff was gracious and helpful, especially Lucia at the front desk, who helped us with transportation across town when Uber was unwilling to take all our luggage.
Presentation of food was nice but quality was average. Location is wonderful for views but requires a car or transport to go almost anywhere else. One restaurant was within 1/2 mile walk.
4.3
Large room with a very comfortable bed
Good location for an overnight stay near the airport
Friendly staff
The pool is much smaller than the wide angle pictures would have you believe

barking dog into the nite, we were in a room looking toward the church

The room was comfortable, clean, and breakfast was great!
The location was farther from town than I understood.
4.3
The views and the staff were delightful…great place for a romantic getaway
The menu was limited but good - twice I had the NY steak and both times it was the toughest piece of meat to chew.
4.3
the view, very clean, the coffee trail and the best pina coladas! the breakfast was amazing, also had the chicken and rice for lunch which was very good as well. it was very quiet during our stay due to slow season.
we thought the dinner menu was lacking, should have more typical options and more flavor over all.
4.3
The facilities were well managed and the view gorgeous. We really liked the open air as well. The staff were very helpful and enjoyable to interact with.
N/A nothing to note here
4.3
It was a beautiful period property. Massive rooms with usual amenities and a nice balcony.
We didn’t find any issues with the hotel.
4.3
Nice bath room, good beds.
Good location to visit Poas volcano.
Small and cold swimming pool (not heated).
Very expensive dinner menu for relatively standard meals with not that high quality. You better go somewhere else.
Lady at the reception was informing us wrongly about travel times to Sarchi.
Tax was charged on top of the amount specified by Booking. This was not mentioned in the booking process, neither the confirmation. After complaining we got the tax amount refunded (although still waiting for the refund).

I liked it was in the mountains in the city
the lack of accommodation upon arrival. our receptionist was in a hurry to get off work and was not accommodating.
4.3
The hotel is unique, the design absolutely beautiful. I would definitely stay here again. Close enough to the airport but set in a spot of nature within the city. Perfect for your first and last nights in Costa Rica or anywhere in between.
