The hotel reminds me something you would find in Morocco as it had that kind of architect. The hotel was in a convenient area that was walk-able to the most visited areas. Pool was in a weird spot where if people were dining, you would be looked at and we didn´t see anyone use it. Their hot tub in it was broken. I would suggest they should just renovate it and just make it into a sitting area with plants and flowers. Rooms were clean but there are no elevators so it would be difficult for those that have issues with stairs. They do have a very small quaint restaurant by the pool but we went out for dinner during our two night stay. Staff were very friendly. Thank you for the hospitality.

Pool and pictures are outdated

We were charged over $80 USD for breakfast. Later I checked my email receipt from the original reservation and it said breakfast was included. The hotel website also says breakfast is included. I’m very disappointed. All noises from the hallway and seating area carried into our room on the first floor. My kids were exhausted but couldn’t sleep because of other guests making noise in common areas at 9:30 pm. The guests in the common area finally left at 10 pm but we could hear dishes being washed in the kitchen and the pool being cleaned until after 11 pm. The hotel was not dull, so I wish we had been given a room further from the noisy front desk/ restaurant. Speaking of the pool, when we arrived The hotel pool was not usable - water was dirty. There is no A.C. Fine, but the ceiling fan was useless and the only window that opened up was in the bathroom. We had to close the bathroom door because of the noise but it became too hot in the room. Finally, our bathroom and bedroom flooded when I showered! Water flowed from the shower in the opposite direction of the drain, pouring onto the floor and insert the door halfway to the bed. And when my husband went to ask for more towels to replace the ones we had used to clean the mess, it became clear this is something that is a regular occurrence. If I had paid $100 USD for this I wouldn’t be too upset. But with the breakfast up charge, it’s almost $200 USD. Not worth it!!!

Friendly staff and nice location close to the National Museum. Hotel is nice and clean and has great breakfast. But, I wouldn’t ask staff for any travel tips (we almost got stranded based on their suggestions)

Location

A great location in centro close to site seeing. And great restaurants nearby as wel as the great restaurant in hotel with pastry chef. Awesome staff and the price is rite a great value

The all you can eat buffet was incredible and a very good addition. The room itself was quite n

Very nice place, clean and quiet room with common area that was very nice.

The hotel is ok, the room is not very big and does not have AC, just a fan that does not work very well. But it's fine. Breakfast was very good, location is good as well but they don't have parking. Staff in the other had, very disappointing, front desk people especially, the guys from the restaurant are nice and friendly but both people that assisted us (front desk) during our stay we’re not nice, we even ask for suggestions to rent a car and they didn't even made the effort to answer.

Rooms don’t look like on the pictures. Very small, basic-no fridge/no coffee maker ( although free buffet breakfast compensated for it) and worn, old furniture. No A/C either. Ok stay for 1, max 2 nights. Location close enough to major spots however you have up walk thru questionable streets often not feeling comfortable as a solo female traveler to walk through. If you are traveling in a group or in pairs you will be fine.

Comfortable beds, nice people working there. Good hotel for looking around SJ

They didn't provide wash rags or facial tissues

Central location, friendly and helpful staff, restful courtyard, nice traditional breakfast, restaurant.

Location was great, staff was great, u couldn't want anything more.

Excellent location, right in downtown San Jose. Old hotel but still in good enough condition.

Nice room at a great price! Good service and friendly staff.

Excellent people at an excellent budget hotel. (Had a simple breakfast at three in the morning due to an early flight!) Very good location

Although I don't speak Spanish, staff was very helpful. They printed out directions for me to various places, and wrote out phrases for me in Spanish. The hotel was clean, and during my visit, a new sofa and chair were delivered for use in the lobby by guests. Dining room was clean, with many tables available for use at breakfast.

We are two couples on our first trip to Costa Rica. The hotel lobby, bar and pool are lovely in colonial Spanish style. The staff are pleasant and very helpful and speak excellent English. Rooms are attractive and very clean. It’s located a few blocks from many cultural aites. And there is a great restaurant just across the street. And all for a good value!

much smaller than it looks

We loved the hotel and our room. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel felt very safe and was walkable to many good restaurants and museums.

Disappointing. The "swimming pool" was basically a tiny ornamental pool, way too small for any swimming. I'm amazed if anyone even tries to use it - the front desk told me when I checked in it was very very small and they were right. Lukewarm shower at best. Terrible lighting and woefully inadequate outlets. One outlet behind the headboard with a power strip that had to be pulled out to access.

Very quaint lovely hotel downtown San Jose , salt of the earth people running a magical affordable hotel

Good for food service. Quality good.and effiency. .Very nice.

Service and staff were great. Everything was clean. No AC, but the ceiling fan was fine. Place was noisy due to constant honking traffic—but that’s found all over San Jose, I guess. Also, finding and paying for overnight parking was kind of a hassle. Breakfast was nice.

this hotel looks great but the reality is the room was dirty,very noisy and hot--there is no a/c and the pool was dirty with lots of junk on the bottom and floating on the surface----the breakfast was good and the location was good--had 3 day prepaid reservation but had to check out after one day with no refund

It was ok.

This hotel was a nice property, clean, friendly staff, cafe connected to it, and near the San Jose downtown area. The only drawbacks were our room didn’t have a way to control a/c, so the 4 of us staying in a room were a bit warm, and the walls were thing so it was a bit noisy. But for a 1 day/night stay in San Jose it was was just the kind of place we were looking for, would stay here again. Plus they had a shuttle to SJO that took 4 adults & bags for just $40.

Great Room - Loved the architecture, wood work and restored ambience Staff very friendly and helpful great cenral location included breakfasts were tasty Costa Rican style meals not so good but mananged - lack of electrical outlets in room

Excellent hotel for the price. Nice and clean and gives a North American feel to San Jose.

Nice hotel in a city not known for tourism. Hotel staff is super nice and the rooms are very clean and North American style.
