Let me first say i dont do bad reviews or comments but the reviews i read and what i got were not the same. I also want to say im a backpacker and im used to sleeping on the ground so my standerds are not high. 2 days we didnt have water. They ebed up fixing it after about a hour each time. No parking, you have to park 2 blocks away at 2 dollars a hour, do the math if you leave your car because you book trips, and they pick you up it adds up really quick not counting the meter is running when your sleeping, and if you get back late at night its a scary walk back to the hotel at night. spend the extra cash for a hotel that has parking. all the staff but one was good! We stayed a week left a day early. Rooms were horrable and i do not have high standerds at all again. Last night we found a much better hotel near the air port with parking and shuttel. This was my first trip to c.r. i would highly recomand staying outside of s.j. and drive in for the day, night time can get pretty hairy. The good: staff was good and at day time you are smake in the middel of down town market. The bad: the room, parking, night time safty, no water when you try to take a shower ##### donovan Stayed 6 nights in Mar 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 29 Mar 2019 Liked: Staff & service Great location, great breakfast, dated facilities friendly service ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2019 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 28 Feb 2019 Hôtel pratique pour les gens qui veulent être dans le centre de vie et proche du marché couvert de SAN JOSE.

Fantastiskt läge mitt på gågatan i centrum. Mycket trevligt bemötande o hjälpsam personal. Hotellet var gammalt o slitet, men för oss passade det utmärkt för en övernattning på väg vidare mot kusten. ##### Maria Wangi Stayed 1 night in Dec 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Henrique 15 Dec 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Um pouco velho mas legal! Os quartos da frente são barulhentos mas tem uma vista interessante da cidade. Chuveiro fraco, carpete desagradável, mas é bem mobiliado e amplo. Pessoal correto mas nem sempre muito amigável. Exceção para Luiz, um recepcionista amável e prestativo e a senhora do café da manhã. ##### Henrique Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ape, Mexico 13 Nov 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Room comfort Mucho ruido del exterior que no deja descansar.

Everything you need is well within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful. ##### Mike Stayed 11 nights in May 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alyson 29 May 2018 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities The hotel looked old and rundown, there was a weird scent in our room. The hotel was on a street that cars couldn't access, so we had to get picked up and dropped off around the corner and walk. The hotel was in a very busy area and there were a few restaurants within walking distance. I had never been to San Jose before, so I'm not sure if the whole city is this way, but I didn't feel like the hotel was in the safest area. The hotel staff was friendly enough, especially the man who checked us out in the morning- he called a taxi for us and was chatting with us while we waited. Complimentary breakfast was fine- nothing fancy. ##### Alyson Stayed 2 nights in May 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Miguel, San Salvador, ES 21 May 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Location, location, location !!!!

No frills hotelt in great downtown location. If you enjoy lots of shopping, lots of places to eat and lots of people of all ages and economic statis then this hotel is a good place to consider. Breakfast is basic but good. I enjoy staying at the El Maragato hotel. ##### Robert ### 10/10 Excellent #### peter 8 Apr 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort They deliver what they advertise ##### peter ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 30 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort #### Nice hotel in the centre of the town. At the beginning I felt that I am going to stay in a dormitory, or worse. The lobby is very little and not so welcoming. And its position in the noisy street of hussling vendors made me feel uneasy. But when I saw the silent and clean room, enjoyed a simple breakfast and had access to PC and wifi, I felt really confortable and safe. Due to its position it deserves the price. Moreover for young backpackers a few rooms are adapted to a cheap hostel. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2018 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller 18 Mar 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Good but not convenient for visits Nice place.
