We liked it a lot because it was close to the places we wanted to visit, and also the hotel was very nice! The only thing that wasn't good was the pool, it was very cold.

I really liked how clean and well maintained the property is. The rooftop terrace is excellent value, a perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful views of the neighborhood. The service was also outstanding; the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. I arrived just in time for the meet-and-drink event, which was a brilliant opportunity to socialise with other travellers. I even met a few people heading to the same destinations as me, which worked out perfectly for sharing rides.

Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

This is a lovely authentic old colonial family house converted to a hotel..It's excellent value for money. The staff & owner are very friendly & go out of their way for their clients.The breakfast is light & very nice. The hotel is very close to lots of lovely outdoor restaurants & coffee shops in Escalante, one of the best areas in downtown San Jose, so it's worth checking out. All in all, this hotel is excellent value & we will certainly book it again upon our return.

Spent one night in San Jose as my flight arrived in the evening. The hotel is located downtown and was a short walk from the bus station upon arrival and back to get a bus to my destination in the morning. The room reasonably priced, clean and the street noise wasn't too bad (no issues sleeping) given that it is located in the centre of a major city. I'll stay again if I ever need to spend a night in San Jose.

We had the best breakfast of our entire Costa Rica tour at this accommodation. The short distance to the airport is also important given the traffic chaos in San José, and we were able to park our car in the hotel's own garage. Compared to other accommodations, the price is relativly low.
