It is bearable if you are a single young man staying for a night before the flight next morning. But it is definitely not the kind of place you would want to bring your family to. ##### Dima Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Rebekah 17 Apr 2016 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Enjoying April 11 parade and the Museum is worth a Alajuela is a better place to stay the night before flying out. We enjoyed the parade on April 11. ##### Rebekah Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### John 19 Mar 2016 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### Usability before comfort Got there at 2am and the "receptionist" opened the door. Didn't speak any language and wasn't expecting us: "hotel is booked completely". So instead of the private room we booked we got a 6 bed dorm. We only wanted to catch 3 hours of sleep before heading out so we didn't start arguing. Charged us 10$ instead of 13$. Close to the airport (have change because the taxi drivers won't have any! It will be 4300 colones with the meter/Maria) ##### John Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Jordan 24 Aug 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Un lit pour une nuit, pas plus. Cet hôtel fait franchement honte à la profession. Le service, acceuil pas terrible, nous avons du attendre 10min devant la porte avant que quelqu'un vienne nous ouvrir, et c'est un client qui est finalement venu car il en avait assez d'entendre la sonnette. Le gérant ne parle pas un mot d'une autre langue que l'espagnol. Ayant un vol le lendemain matin, on demande si on peut avoir le petit dejeuné 15 ou 20minutes avant l'horaire prévu, il refuse. On lui demande qu'il nous appelle un taxi, il accepte mais c'est nous qui l'avons réveillé le lendemain matin pour qu'il nous en appelle un, parce qu'il ronflait dans l'entrée quand nous sommes descendu. L'etat général de l'hotel n'est pas terrible, son seul avantage est son emplacement. La chambre laisse franchement à désirer. Draps tachés de sang, les poussières n'avaient pas été faites depuis quelques temps. Les fenetres ne fermaient pas donc beaucoup de moustiques.Pas de ventilateur aussi. La salle de bain collective a du, je pense, être très bien à une époque, mais le manque d'entretien flagrant la rendent dangereuse. La mosaique au sol étant décolée, des petites coupures sont fréquentes aux pieds, ne vous y aventurez pas sans chaussures, même dans la douche. WC propres, c'est le stricte minimum. Bref, cet hotel est correct si c'est pour une nuit mais pas plus ##### Jordan Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Ginette 24 Aug 2015 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort The person running the hotel was very friendly, but the hotel seems to be in a sketchy neighbourhood. We did not feel very safe arriving at night. ##### Ginette Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Varun 5 Aug 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Minimal but good for the price Hotel Cortez Azul is ok if you just need a place to sleep before/after a flight, but not for more. The bathroom was not well maintained, they asked for cash payment but did not have change when I arrived at 2am. But the guys at the reception were very friendly and polite, they took part of the payment at checkin and let me pay the rest at checkout since we didn't have change. It might be a good place for 1-2 guys who need cheap accommodation. ##### Varun Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### sivan 2 Jul 2015 Disliked: Staff & service #### Rip off and double bookers My mom booked the place for me en route to san jose so I would not stress on place to stay, when I got there they said card was not charged and I needed cash..then they lied about exchange rate which I called them on which had them backpedalling with excuses, and in the end they charged my moms card too....for them to do that to a single dad travelling with kids shows what kind of people they are....sad ##### sivan Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### fumiko 21 Jun 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### 個人的にはあまりお進め出来ません。 天井付近の壁が抜けているので、隣の音が筒抜け。また、ドアのロックが掛からなかったのでスグ言ったが今日は空き室がないから明日変えると言われ、次の日もう一度言ったがやはり変えてくれなかった。とても不安な二日間でした。 ##### fumiko Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 26 May 2015 Disliked: Staff & service, room comfort #### A budget hotel, nothing more I arrived very late at night, the whole place was dark. After ringing the bell several times and several minutes later, a man named Christoph came to answer the door. I had to fill in my information and pay for the stay. For my room, I paid part of it in US dollars and part in colones. The colones I owed was 2500 but I had only 10000 colones. Christoph didn't have change, so he said he would give me the change of $7500 the next day. The next day when I went to get my change, it was another man at the reception and he gave me the change of 7000 colones. As my taxi was arriving, I didn't want to haggle over 500 colones, but I thought it was very dishonest of them. I would not be back. ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 23 Apr 2015 Disliked: Property conditions & facilities If you are not fussy about noise and want a quick overnight stay, no fuss and independence then this is a place to stay. Breakfast is mediocre. Good for younger hostelers who are looking for inexpensive lodging ##### Verified traveller Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Flavien 1 Aug 2016 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Room comfort ##### Flavien Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Steen 22 Jan 2016 ##### Steen ---
