But pack ear plugs - it's close to the rail tracks and tooting starts at 5.30 but it's not unpleasant. ##### Kate Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 24 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The staff is extremely accommodating and made us feel at home.

Small Clean rooms, good cafe with the breakfast, reasonable priced and in a secure location. Bonus for being in the trendy neighborhood of Escalante. Which may make it the biggest bargain in this trendy area that is know for it galleries, restaurants and bars... Glamorous it is not, but comfy it is, in this old architectural gem. ##### Daryl T Stayed 1 night in Mar 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### M 28 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Very pleased! Very attentive service. Hotel had character—in a good way! Train did not disturb me at all. It’s a bit worn—a broken tile here, faded blankets…but we were safe and comfortable and enjoyed the neighborhood. The free parking was what sold me on the place. Very pleased, will stay again when in San José. ##### M Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Kate 14 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Excellent location, wonderful staff, small rooms but with all that you need. Hotel is very near a noisy railway, so bring earplugs! My biggest problem was a snoring neighbour who was so loud he could be heard from three rooms away. His poor wife... ##### Kate Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### LILIANA 18 Nov 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Cute super vintage place. There is a small police station on same street so you feel extra safe. Dining is walking distance and many options. Room smelled old and bedding sheets looked old so did the furniture. Hot water in shower worked for a few seconds then turned cold. It wasn’t horrible but if your looking for something other than a quick night stay probably not your place. You also have to be ok with the creepy vintage stuff lol. ##### LILIANA Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Myriam 11 Nov 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful place, very well located. The common spaces are very nice, room are small but very clean. It's a great way to stay in a "typical" costa rican house at a very low price. Employees are nice, excellent service, although almost none spoke English or French. But they were very helpful and did everything to help in every situation. The environment is nice, great neighbour, lots of nice restaurants and bars, down-town 15 min walk. Fully recommend. ##### Myriam Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Tomer 11 Sept 2023 Good location, friendly staff. Unfortunately it was very noisy. Couldn’t sleep the whole night. The door bell kept buzzing and people were loud after midnight. Reception didn’t do nothing about it. ##### Tomer Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Ronald 16 Sept 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities My wife and I stayed there for five nights in a standard room in the back next to the kitchen. The hotel is old but very clean and attractively decorated. At the back of the hotel there is a garden and kitchen with a microwave and kettle for the guests to use. The front desk was attentive. It was generally quiet except for a couple of mornings at 6:00 AM. The only negatives were the extremely weak internet (being at the back of the hotel), the small rooms and the very large legs of the wooden bed frame which I kept hitting with my knee. But the positives outweigh the negatives and we would return. ##### Ronald Stayed 6 nights in Sep 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Isabella 10 Aug 2023 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beds only had fitted and top sheets no bed covers, mysterious stains on all the covers and pillow cases. Staff was very rude telling us we were crazy for thinking there needed to be a second bed cover underneath, towels were disgusting and stained, walls were stained and there seemed to be a footprint on the ceiling of the bathroom. ##### Isabella Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Qinglin 7 Feb 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I like this property because of its location, boutique, quiet and reasonable price. It is a large house and felt more like a home than a hotel. The small garden breakfast area was nice. The staffs were all kind, smiling and helpful. The airport pickup service took a lot of worry out for my late evening arrival with a price similar to a taxi. Uber is not legal in San Jose, therefore airport pickup is troublesome. I used Uber at other times without problem. The location of the hotel is excellent with walking distance to tourist spots in downtown. The neighborhood is upper-middle class and felt safe. They have different sized rooms according to your needs. I found out later that Hillary Clinton stayed there in 2005. The wife of the owner was a painter. She gave Hillary a flower painting. I would recommend it. ##### Qinglin Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Presidente](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Presidente.h1126992.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Jose-La-Sabana.h10579877.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Everest Base Camp I](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Everest-Base-Camp-I-Hotels.0-l553248621592241088-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in 3rd Arrondissement](https://www.expedia.co.uk/3rd-Arrondissement-Paris-Hotels.0-n6187858-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Jose-Costa-Rica-Airport.h2303711.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Lost Gardens of Heligan](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lost-Gardens-Of-Heligan-Hotels.0-l6094387-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Tunisia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Tunisia.d182.Hotel-Destinations) > > [The Gaskell Arms Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Much-Wenlock-Hotels-The-Gaskell-Arms-Hotel.h900654.Hotel-Information) > > [Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fort-Lauderdale-Hotels-Seminole-Hard-Rock-Hotel-And-Casino.h1044189.Hotel-Information) > > [Apartments Oban](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oban-Apartments.d9144-aaApartments.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Occidental Jandía Mar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pajara-Hotels-Occidental-Jandia-Mar.h1392060.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Entertainment in Staffordshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Staffordshire-Hotel-With-Entertainment.0-0-d6046231-thotelwithentertainment.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Barceló San José](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Barcelo-San-Jose.h788912.Hotel-Information) > > [The Byzantium Hotel & Suites - Special Class](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Istanbul-Hotels-The-Byzantium-Hotel-Suites-Special-Class.h2206450.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Cwmbran](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cwmbran-Hotels.d5882.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [NH City Centre Amsterdam](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Amsterdam-Hotels-NH-City-Centre-Amsterdam.h26865.Hotel-Information) > > [Martinhal Sagres Beach Family Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sagres-Hotels-Martinhal-Sagres-Beach-Family-Resort.h3091253.Hotel-Information) > > [Iberostar Selection Rose Hall Suites - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montego-Bay-Hotels-Iberostar-Selection-Rose-Hall-Suites-All-Inclusive.h2802585.Hotel-Information) > > [Ura Jardín del Atlántico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Bartolome-De-Tirajana-Hotels-Ura-Jardin-Del-Atlantico.h6618977.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Zip World Penrhyn Quarry](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zip-World-Penrhyn-Quarry-Hotels.0-l553248634855452918-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Niagara Falls](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Niagara-Falls-Hotels.d602721.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Luxury Mint Apartments Main Square](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Krakow-Hotels-Luxury-Mint-Apartments-Main-Square.h24452611.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels with Pool in Cappadocia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cappadocia-Hotels-Hotels-With-Pool.0-0-d6054888-tHotelswithPool.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Grano de Oro](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Grano-De-Oro.h994383.Hotel-Information) > > [D Sabana Hotel San José](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-San-Jose.h5552804.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from London (LHR) to Kolind (AAR)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/aar/london-to-aarhus) > > [Flights from Lytham St. Anne's (BLK) to Crumlin (BFS)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/blk/bfs/blackpool-to-belfast) ### Cars > [Enterprise Car Rentals In Palmers Green](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Enterprise-Car-Rentals-In-Palmers-Green.d6144941-c15.Car-Rental-Guide-Suppliers) ### Activities > [Things to do in Freeport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Things-To-Do-In-Freeport.d602484.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### Packages > [Lido di Jesolo Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lido-Di-Jesolo.d553248634855574991.Holidays-City-Breaks)
