Good place

Really nice place, rooms are small but you can go reading or discuss in the many places in the hôtel (cozy places) or on the little common terrasse. Clean place. Easy to walk from the hôtel to many places in the center of San José.

I did like the central Location and the General look. The staff at the recepcion was very nice. I did not like at all that there were many Tourist groups which were very loud also during the Night. I missed roules from the hotel for that issue.

Beautiful hotel with simple, comfortable rooms.

A beautiful hotel! The rooms aren’t anything fancy, but are comfortable and great for a short stay. There are plenty of communal areas to sit I. The rest of the hotel outside the room, and it is quite lovely out there. Nice breakfast with indoor and outdoor seating. I showed up a day early and they quickly changed the reservation and got us into a room. I would absolutely stay here again.

Nice house turned into a hotel, about a 10-minute walk to the center. My room was spacious with a decent bathroom and a small garden, but no chair, which was a bit inconvenient. It was right next to the stairs, so I could hear people and noise from the next room. Train noise was noticeable but didn’t bother me much. Staff speak mostly Spanish, so communication was a bit tricky. Breakfast wasn't ready on time, and they don’t offer anything if you leave early for a tour. At checkout, no one was at reception, I had to find someone to help me. Overall, it’s a charming place, but a few service issues to be aware of.

Would stay again

While the building is historic (0ld), the bathroom was updated and functioned well. The room had tile floors and was clean. The staff were very available and helpful to this English-speaking client. The beds are not very comfortable, somewhat on the hard side. But, for the price of the hotel, it was acceptable to me. The hotel is only about 1/2 block from Avenue 2, which makes it convenient for restaurants and shopping. Close to their national museum, and within walking distance of Central Market.

Wonderful experience

We learned from reviews that most rooms have no AC at this hotel except suites. When I called to upgrade, Kailene upgraded it for free! Thank you so much! It was a nice room with jacuzzi, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very simple Costa Rican style. The only issue is the train passing, it starts by 5am and stops before 9pm. Just go to bed early and rise early. Healthy living!!

This hotel is in a centrally located area in San Jose with nice dining options nearby, shopping, museums, and theaters. Each room is unique and clean. The breakfast bar has nice fresh fruit, eggs, pinto, plantains, toast, creal, cheese, juice, coffee, and tea available. The staff is helpful and friendly.

Be prepared to drive in circles to find the hotel. Once you do, it’s hard to find a safe place to park. The hotel recommends a place and it cost you 14$ to park. Breakfast was terrible. There was no food other than some watermelon. Coffee was scarce and you’re lucky if you get a cup. Oh watched the cooks sit there eating while the guests sat there with nothing.

Helt greit.

Små rom, og rommet vårt hadde vindu ut mot gangen!?! Lite utvalg til frokosten. Etter en litt klønete innsjekking, det var ingen i resepsjonen da vi kom, så var resten av møte med personalet meget hyggelig. Hotellet ligger sentralt, og det var kort vei til museumer, shopping og mat.
