The room is quite acceptable although the heat was necessary but we couldn't get it to come on. The window in the bathroom sitting in the frame is a jar with the outdoor light visible through the gap. The beds were acceptable the shower had good pressure and nice hot water the room was clean enough the grounds are well kept. The front desk clerk was very charming and animated when we arrived although I would comment that the two young ladies that were the waitress staff in the dining room both seemed to want to be anywhere but there and we're polite enough but we're quite aloof and distant. The food in the morning for the breakfast was fine and the little cinnamon pancakes were quite delicious. In Costa Rica I would caution any North American Travelers to make it clear when you order an appetizer you would like that first and then the main part of the meal afterwards because we have seen pretty consistently they will serve all of the food at the same time. Once again I would recommend this hotel it was cheap and cheerful as they say good location easy walk to all of the main sites of the downtown core of San Jose ##### Russell Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matthew 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice.

The place is clean but all the furniture in the common areas are very dirty. And please put a reading chair in the room. Our bathroom was new and beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jun 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Mackenzie 16 Jun 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### I would go back. But always want the facts upfront The positives: the breakfast was DELICIOUS! Friendly staff and clean environment. The rooms we were in did not have AC, although that was advertised. Be aware, it is an old hotel so only stairs (consider for luggage carrying purposes). Our first room would not lock due to a key being broken off into the lock but they were quick and accommodating and got us in another room. ##### Mackenzie Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Juan 30 May 2025 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities No idea how this place even has an 8 score on here. In costa rica for a week with 4 different hotels throughout the country and this one by far the bad one. Lobby was cute but room was filthy. Old furniture that is scratched and beat up from the tables to the shelves. Super thin pillows and toilet paper. Walls had huge stains all over them. Nothing like the photos. Also the room doesnt seem to have AC, i turned it down to 20 and it never got cool, woke up in the middle of the night sweaty. I stood on the bed to feel the smallest trickle of air come out of a single vent. We went to take a shower and no hot water. Called front desk and they said they would check on the boiler, then a callback 5 minutes later they tell us its broken and there wont be any hot water. The breakfast was above my expectstions and thats because the night before was so bad i expected it to be on par eith the room. Would not recommend this place, and I've stayed all over latin america in all different kinds of hotels and hostels. This one not worth it in my opinion. ##### Juan Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gilbert 10 Oct 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice hotel ##### Gilbert Stayed 1 night in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan 30 Sept 2025 Great ##### Bryan Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Sarah 16 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This hotel is conveniently located in downtown San Jose. Parking was easy enough in a secure lot around the corner. Breakfast was a highlight, with an array of fresh fruits, gallo pinto, and scrambled eggs. Our room (35) had an exceedingly small bathroom and had windows facing the street, though noise was not bad. Our television did not work, but the bed was comfortable enough. ##### Sarah Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katelyn 12 Dec 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Definitely recommend! We loved the hotel and our room. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel felt very safe and was walkable to many good restaurants and museums. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/DEABB1C9B0D48CE0DD1EF1CF040A045A4AAEE4CB1576122294735.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/687089F48C9E9D3F4F92E75D148B9C7C2C8717451576122299889.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/B049FF42DAE27384EB35D07F369AAE9A2F46ADF41576122301472.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/5342C007CADA842F470A8936E27951DBABC8203F1576122302732.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Katelyn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison 17 Jul 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Friendly staff and nice location close to the National Museum.
