First night to start a Costa Rica trip. The hostel was a bit hard to spot since there is no sign but I had saved it on Google Maps. The neighborhood is a bit quiet/dodgy at times but the entrance is more than safe. Decoration inside is beautiful, art-deco style and the host is very friendly.

There was no one onsite when I arrived a little past 5 (reception off at 5pm), I had no internet (no place to buy SIM card nearby) and a lady across the street helped me to call but no one answered. It got me a bit worried being in San Jose after dark; wish entry instruction was communicated beforehand. Eventually I got in contact with the owner and the night shift staff onsite, Dyla, was AMAZING! The place is clean but no window in the room except for an opening towards the hall. I saw no one in the building, with the lights off and doubled-gated entrance, it was kind of spooky. It is close to bus stations and being on this street (and this street only) is safe so I still recommend to stay at Lolas.

Loication seems good. Although the area at night feels a little edgy. Finding the place and getting in was confusing despite having the address. I arrived at 8pm and it was very hard to understand where the hotel's entrance was due to no signage. Neighbours pointed me in the direction of the correct door, which was locked with no intercom or anything. But because the SIM card I bought at the airport mulfunctioned I was unable to get in touch with the hotel and have someone open the door. After calling out for a while, the housekeeper arrived and let me in. She was incredibly kind and helpful. The room was okay - clean double bed but no windows, except a little high one opening into the hallway. Curious story books positioned by the bed. Otherwise everything else was decent / adequate, including kitchen bathroom and balcony. It did feel slightly eerie that I never saw any other guests at the hotel, but I was there only for the night and it could be that there were only a couple of other guests.

Great stay at Lola’s during off peak season. We were right in the heart of the city, which is convenient but noisy! We stayed in the King Room, sadly the stove wasn’t working but that was okay. Dyla was super kind, helpful, and let us know about events that were going on during the day. My only concern was the noise. There are a few clubs/bars close by that play music and have people drinking and yelling so expect that- regular city living. Other than that, great stay & great host.

My first trip to Costa Rica and San Jose was a success thanks to choosing Lolas as my place to stay. Its convenient walking street was very safe and convenient to museums, shots, and restaurants. There was an affordable garage around the corner, but I didn’t have a car. The facilities were pristine, with great common areas for congregating and dining. The responsiveness and level of service was incredible. I had a prove room, it was great. I really had such a wonderful time. I cannot recommend this place more highly. :) thanks!
