This hotel was simple, very nice, close to the airport. The rooms were big, and the beds very comfortable. Our sink did not drain at all, and we had no idea how to fix it at night, and since we were only there one night, we didnt bother to get someone to come fix it. 't found that we had... More

I stayed at this hotel just for one night. Upon check-in I was advised that all local and international calls are completely free of charge... I thought this was strange but a bonus! Phoned my parents that night with no problems at all. The next morning I went down to breakfast at 9.30am (breakfast is served from 6-10) and was... More

We went out to dinner our last night with friends in San Jose and someone entered our room and stole money out of our... More

It's a kind of contemporaneous style hotel located in Paseo Colon, the main street of San Jose, close to highways to go quickly to the suburbs or get out of town. The building face a parking lot 100 meters away from main street, so if you keep the windows closed, will no hear the street noise which start early morning... More

With Sabana park near by, an easy walk into town and lots of good restaurants either a walk or short cab drive away this is the best deal in town. The housekeeping is top rate, recently renovated bathrooms and clean comfortable beds make this an easy place to relax...but bring ear plugs because you get early traffic noise although my... More

The location (near the park, banks and restaurants) & the size of the hotel where just perfect for us. At first I found strange that the hotel did not have a pool, but I later realized you don't end up wishing to swim often in San Jose due to whether and temperature (at least when we where there in May)....

I stayed for 4 nights with this hotel and I must say I loved Costa Rica even more because of this hotel. First, the service was excellent. The receptionists provided excellent service - they were very helpful and accommodating. When I asked for a wake up call at 6:00 am for my early tour pick up, they didn't fail to... More

I checked out a month ago and I am still fuming about my experience! We chose the hotel because of its location in San Jose and reviews were decent. The hotel itself was in good shape with updated baths and a very comfortable bed. But the service experience makes me want to warn others to stay away! I wanted to... More

Although San Jose isnt the most beautiful city in the word to stay in, this hotel was very clean, and the staff were very friendly. Though the shower was kind of weird; it had no curtain, so water got onto the floor unless you tilted the head towards the wall. We stayed there for two nights in order to visit... More

I stayed here for a week while visiting a local pharmacetuical factory for business. The factory uses this hotel for all its visitors. It's a smaller hotel, older style rooms that are on the samallish size but really had no probelms. Spectacular vews from my befroom windows of the mountains, good 24 hour security, free wifi internet in each room... More
