The owner is lovely, and The free breakfast in the morning was great. Coffee, orange juice, fruit, and a choice of eggs or pancakes. The pancakes were excellent. Great shower. Bed comfy but slightly firmer than I like. The only negative was that the AC was a bit noisy.

Staff was very helpful and the room and common areas are clean. Curtains could be replaced with blackouts and ceiling could replace the floor fan which much too powerful for the size of this small room. No protector on the mattress or on the pillow. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### nicolaj 21 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay! Would recommend to anyone I had an absolutely fantastic stay at Hotel Portal Colonial. Great location in Escazu, which is a really nice neighbourhood and still only a few minutes from centro SJ. Rooms were spacious and clean, and in overall it was a very comfortable feeling in the hotel. The staff were amazing. They made for a super comfortable stay, and made you feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone! ##### nicolaj Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 16 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Was not there for long. Got there late after 11:00 pm and the hotel was shut down. The desk clerk did let me in and got me checked in. Was not expecting much but toilet paper in the room is a given. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 12 Aug 2019 Liked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I like the Location of the property, is a secure area, the prices and staff ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2019 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Fairfield by Marriott San Jose Airport Alajuela](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Fairfield-By-Marriott-San-Jose-Airport-Alajuela.h83583723.Hotel-Information) > > [Defne Beach Makri](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Fethiye-Hotels-Daphne-Residence.h12831050.Hotel-Information) > > [The Crown Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Stewart-Hotels-The-Crown-Hotel.h4460965.Hotel-Information) > > [Banff Aspen Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Banff-Hotels-Banff-Aspen-Lodge.h889982.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Tobermory](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tobermory-Hotels.d59192.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Costa Rica Marriott Hotel Hacienda Belen](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Costa-Rica-Marriott-Hotel-Hacienda-Belen.h54705.Hotel-Information) > > [Finca Rosa Blanca Coffee Farm and Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/San-Jose-Hotels-Finca-Rosa-Blanca-Coffee-Farm-And-Inn.h2581381.Hotel-Information) > > [The Old Railway Station](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Petworth-Hotels-The-Old-Railway-Station.h11899976.Hotel-Information) > > [JW Marriott Marco Island Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Naples-Hotels-JW-Marriott-Marco-Island-Beach-Resort.h14344.Hotel-Information) > > [Chalets Borovets](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borovets-Chalets.d602265-aaChalets.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Best Western Globus Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rome-Hotels-Best-Western-Globus-Hotel.h519303.Hotel-Information) > > [ Sunny Days El Palacio Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-Sunny-Days-El-Palacio-Resort-Spa-Families-And-Couples-Only.h9477876.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Schoenefeld (BER)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/ber/east-midlands-to-berlin) > > [Flights from Hounslow (LHR) to Rio Segundo (SJO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/sjo/london-to-san-jose) > > [Flights from Sa Khu (HKT) to George Town (PEN)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/hkt/pen/phuket-to-penang) > > [Flights from Crumlin (BFS) to Derby (DRB)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bfs/drb/belfast-to-derby) > > [Flights from Bang Phli (BKK) to Birmingham (BHX)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/bkk/bhx/bangkok-to-birmingham) > > [easyJet Manchester (MAN) to Schoenefeld (BER) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/easyjet-from-manchester-to-brandenburg/u2/man/ber) ### Activities ### Packages > [Northwood Headquarters](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Northwood-Headquarters-London.d6210145.Attraction) > > [Mykonos Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Mykonos.d1707.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Myrkdalen Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrkdalen.d6224049.Holidays-City-Breaks) > > [Monkey Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Monkey-Beach-Ko-Phi-Phi.d553248635810227304.Attraction) > > [Yap Holidays](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Yap.d182077.Holidays-City-Breaks) ---
