Good hotel in the center of San José

Relatively new hotel, with modern, well-sized rooms. The shower took a long time to heat up. Good location, right in the city center. Good value.

Short vacation.

This is my go to hotel in central San Jose, Costa Rica. Good breakfast friendly staff.

Great hotel, little know secret

We just stayed 5 nights in this hotel. The hotel is right in the center of all the arts, tourist activities, and markets in San Jose! It is a safe location; the staff are exceptional, accomodating and speak good English & Spanish. Each morning you get a "cooked to order breakfast" as part of the price. And, the price is much less than comparable hotels in the area. (It is a boutique hotel w/28 rooms, but great for couples and small groups). Even the locals do not know of this hotel and it is only five years old.

8/10 Very good

Very well located. The room was very small, but clean. Check-in and check-out went smoothly. Breakfast was meagre but sufficient at this price. Excellent price-quality ratio!!
Jukka, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service, walking distance to downtown, restaurants and museums. Breakfast was included as well which was a bonus
Chantal, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Room itself was recently renovated and nice. Breakfast was a la carte from attached cafeteria, so that was nice as well. But the major downside was that there was practically no soundproofing in the room. The one thing you want from hotel is a possibility to sleep. Even with earplugs it was difficult because of the loud traffic noise that was going all night. Bed and pillow were hard but that’s just preference.

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!
