Great location in San Jose. Cool property at a great price and with very nice owners.

It's a nice little property in a great location for a good price. Absolutely a fair deal, and I'd stay there again. It's a small business, and the owners are very nice. Great for walking around San Jose; lots to see, do, and eat nearby. Chinatown/Barrio Chino, in particular, is great. We took the bus from the airport and were able to walk to Casa Leon from the station.

Nothing to complain about, really. It's what you expect from a property of that age and location. By and large the electricity, water, and wifi were good. There was an hour here and there when there was no hot water, not sure that wasn't true for the whole neighbourhood, though. The metro train goes quite near the property and runs late. I heard it in the night a few times, but it wasn't a big deal. Because there's a metro-train station nearby, you might see some sketchy people hanging about, so stay security conscious. That's needed anywhere in San Jose, though.

Clean and comfy stay

The host was really kind and arranged a taxi from the airport. He also let me keep my bags af the hostel as I had a later bus!

When I arrived there was no water which was frustrating after a long travel day, but don’t think it was their fault.

very acceptable basic accommodation

very clean, comfortable bed and pillows, close to attractions, plenty of restaurants and shops. hosts are multilingual and well informed and helpful.

it was a bit noisy at time ls (due to the area, not the hosts) and the door lock was not well seated in the door, which was not a problem per se (it did latch) but made me uncomfortable.

Basic good hotel in downtown San Jose

Value for money, friendly, caring and helpful staff. Returned on my stay, was allowed to leave luggage free of charge. Close to China Town and museums. By the train rail, but noice did not bother us. It is a basic little family run hotel/hostel. Would definitely recommend.

Nothing really for the price you pay.

You’re really lucky when you find a place so nice as this. The lights from the terrace were magical.

Great helpful staff. We’re very accommodating when we had to come in a little late.

It was all great. Wish we had more time there.. There roof top terrace was outstanding.

Just enough, no more

The host was available and very helpful.

There were absolutely no extra amenities. No drinking glasses in the room. No complimentary coffee or available appliances to make coffee. The only place to buy coffee or breakfast food was Musi, and that was pretty slim. Also, the location was a bit dicey. The nearest food was in Chinatown, some blocks away.

Good location for solo travellers

Patrick and his wife are super friendly and helpfull people. The location is very central so it is possible to walk to pretty much everything. As a solo female traveller it is nice to get some local guidance on do's and don'ts and Patrick was very helpfull. I had 2 nights at the guesthouse at the beginning of my vacation and then came back for 1 night at the end. Patrick made me feel like i was a returning friend.

Good option for a night or two in San Jose

Friendly owner, good wifi, very comfortable bed. Had everything you needed. Cost is reasonable for a private room

The location is a bit rough (not a problem if you get taxis from door-to-door). Also I managed to lock myself out the bathroom. The keys I had weren’t able to unlock it.

Fantastic spot. Handy location, spotless room, great service. Patrick organised an evening arrival transfer from the airport that went smoothly. He also kindly stored by luggage for a couple of hours after check out time. There is some train noise but it did not bother me.

Great location to explore San Jose on foot.

Very nice location, walking distance to several museums, walking streets, good restaurants, Chinatown (if you can call it that), parks, some bus stops, and a train stop (not sure where train goes). Mostly clean spot, nice owner (good recommendations on food), communal mini fridge, felt safe.

Could use a thorough cleaning (dust in corners and upper shelves), but maybe that’s being picky.

The pictures are deceiving.

The owners are great. Really hospitable and friendly!

Its hard to find, loud, the water shuts on and off when showering, bed was uncomfortable and itchy, the fan was too loud to use, and the space was just uncomfortable in general. We both woke up with big bites after sleeping here.

Safe place close to central SJ

The place felt very safe. The bed was big and comfy for 2. The owner is very friendly and helpful.

Traffic noise was very bad - started 5am and was still going at 10pm. Kitchen facilities were closed & not available.
