“Clean spacious rooms in wonderful seaside town”

Reviewed 18 May 2013 NEW

Comfortable and spacious room with fridge and good shower. There are long sandy beaches and cliff top walks from the town. The tourist office a few yards from the hotel sell a cheap map with the walks set out (2€). Also lots of good places to eat. I recommend el Duene for the margueritas and good food with helpful staff... More

“Very Basic”

Reviewed 2 May 2013

We were underwhelmed with our stay here. We knew it would not be fancy but the quality of the bed and linens was bad and when we asked if we could upgrade to a private bath we were told there didn't have any - even though we saw empty rooms with them. Our room faced the street so in addition... More

Hellos: Jasmine: Thank you very much for staying with us, and about the noise is because we are right in the city center and the trafic during the day is sometimes a lot. About the beds they are king size and they are also very confortable, we change linen every day, and we keep our place very clean. If we... More

“Hotel very cheap, clean...An excellent choice!”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

Excellent for the price especially because it includes breakfast, king size bed with private bath= $50! We spent a total of 4 nights there (2 when we arrived and 2 before taking off home). The hotel is older but very clean, and the staff was thorough, welcoming and over the top :) Muchas gracias a Oscar y Juan Carlos..."Pura Vida"...... More

“Great Service, Poor Location”

Reviewed 22 March 2013

We absolutely loved the service we received at Costa Rica Guesthouse. They had a safe place for us to put our rental car and we had a wonderful breakfast cooked for us in the morning. We had the Chirripo apartment which was very nice. We had our own bathroom, patio, and kitchen. The room was lovely, but the location was... More

“Quality accommodation with excellent staff”

Reviewed 3 March 2013

Stayed here 4 nites in a private room with our own bathroom. Immaculately clean, huge bathroom (Marion Bellenas room) with hot water (was a problem in lots of places). Our room was huge and lots of light. Yes, it can be noisy in the morning but that's what you get when you have a train nearby and lots of traffic.... More
