I stayed just for 1 night and loved the lil ole casitas so full of caracter. The grounds were beautiful and I enjoyed walking around the property full of well kept plants. The food in the restaurant was good and yummy. The property is mostly well kept except the front door needed some repair to rid gaps to keep bugs out however I only seen 1 ant. I felt safe there as a solo female traveler. Lady at reception was nice as well as 2 of the male worker but my waitress wasnt all that personable. Over all good experience so yes would stay again.

Overall it was great especially for the price! Quiet and tranquil but my shower was clogged, I had to use my bug spray to get rid of the ants from the AC, and there wasn’t a way to not have housekeeping walk in on me, twice.

This is a quaint property I selected due to its close proximity to the airport. Although the furnishings are dated, they are of good quality and well maintained and the property is very clean. The rooms have AC (not needed due to excellent cross ventilation with open louvered windows), TV, and comfortable beds. I was able to sit outside reading and relaxing, surrounded by beautiful landscaping. The pool is a good size. The small restaurant has well prepared food for breakfast (included in room cost) and dinner (additional). The staff, who are all courteous, directed me to the wildlife rescue center ( about 1/2 mile down the street) which was an excellent afternoon activity where I was able to observe and read about all of the wildlife in Costa Rica. I was comfortable, well fed and safe.

The hotel is a perfect jumping off point for our trip to Costa Rica! Our car was delivered to the hotel, which was beautiful. The breakfast was excellent and the grounds are lovely.

We had a one night stay after a late flight into San Jose. Staff met us at the airport and were very quick getting us transportation to La rose. Very friendly and super helpful. Breakfast was included and my family enjoyed it. We were travelling with four kids ages 7 to 13 and would stay here again.

I would highly recommend staying here. Getting a shuttle to the airport was so easy. We had to leave the hotel at 2:30am, and the driver arrived at 2:15 and carried out all our bags. There isn't much around the hotel, but there is a restaurant on the premises. It was convienent and was authentic Costa Rican food. The rooms and grounds were well kept, clean, and beautiful. Most everyone spoke English, which was helpful. The hotel is gated off, which added a layer of security. There aren't many rooms, which was a positive selling point, in my opinion.

Overall around the property was clean, easy check in/out. Bathroom sink was leaking and shower water kept changing temperature between hot and cold while as i was taking a shower. I booked this property thinking they have free shuttle to the airport but it costs us $30 for a van.

Our flight was delayed so we didn’t get in until close to midnight. I called the hotel and they said no worries to ring at the gate at they would let us in. They had a nice security man who let us in and showed us to our room. Although we didn’t have a much time to enjoy the quaint and lovely hotel it was clean comfortable and beautiful place where we rested well after our 22 hour journey to Costa Rica. Breakfast was plentiful; free buffet style of traditional Costa Rican food, eggs, fruits rice and beans, cereal coffee and juice. We would definitely stay here again.

We arrived past midnight at SJO. The hotel arranged a shuttle to meet us at the airport and it was only $30 for six of us. When we arrived at the hotel, a security guard was waiting for us with the key and a note with the WiFI password. I really felt the hotel took care of our late arrival. The beds were comfortable and the breakfast was fresh and delicious. We stayed just one night and was very happy with the hotel’s service.

Great place, clean, kind and beautiful
We unfortunately only had a very short time here, checked in around 10 because of flight delays and left around 630 the next morning for a jungle outing. Because of our limited time, we didn't get a chance to really enjoy the property, but we did take a quick dip in the pool and slept great. It is clean and beautiful and the check in check out was super easy. We missed their breakfast and our only disappointment was they wouldn't do a little brown bag breakfast for us. We were leaving for a rafting trip early and would have LOVED to take something with us to go. Otherwise, GREAT place in San Jose.

The grounds are beautiful, the rooms are adequate and the staff were all very friendly! Also very convenient to the airport. The only issue we had was with another guest who let their dogs run all over the grounds. My daughter had a bad experience with a dog in the past and was scared of it. If pets are allowed I feel that their owners should be able to keep them under control or on a leash. Otherwise we had a nice stay.

Very well maintained, pretty and peaceful property, with beautifully painted roses on outside walls. Rooms were cute and had inviting (and again peaceful) porches on each. Nice staff too. We arrived in time for dinner at their small (but reasonably priced and decent tasting) restaurant. We wished we could have spent more time here, but had to leave early the next morning to catch our plane home.

Property was in general well maintained and staff was helpful. It was quiet and relaxing. While not much negative, a few minor comments - Restaurant is supposed to be open from 2 PM to 8 PM, but seems to open a bit late and one day it did not open at all. Also, shower water pressure would sometime become low.
