I booked this nice little oasis twice while in CR. Both times I found the staff to be kind, nurturing and very welcoming. As my first experience in Costa Rica I am glad I stayed here, Nice little garden and breakfast. I would definitely stay here again. More

We recently had the opportunity to stay 4 nights at Hotel Kekoldi. It's a wonderful place, nothing pretentious, just a clean, comfortable hotel in which to spend a few nights while enjoying the sights of "downtown" San Jose. The hotel is very well located, the staff is helpful and speak English, a real plus since I am an ugle American... More

We stayed at the Kekoldi in 2007 and found it comfortable and in a safe area (Barrio Amon), so it was easy to choose our hotel when we returned this summer. Again, we weren't disappointed. The rooms are well furnished, have good beds, fan, closet, fridge and safe (if you need them). Bathrooms are fine, showers hot. Breakfast is provided... More

We flew into San Jose late in the afternoon on a fly-drive/hotel voucher package and stayed here overnight before heading off before 7am the next morning. We were provided with a large double bedroom overlooking the small garden and the make-shift bar (nb. there is no restaurant). It was very basic but could not be faulted on size and cleanliness...

We wanted to stay at Casa 69 but could not get a room there on the 3 nights we were looking for. A friend in Manuel Antonio (Costa Rica) suggested we stay at Kekoldi's. It's a great location just behind the Holiday Inn in downtown San Jose. Staff very friendly and helpful. Very clean. The only issue I had is... More

This hotel is very nice to stay. The rooms are light and spacious. We really liked the inside garden in which you can have your breakfast. The staff is verry friendly to arrange all the tours and transport you wish. greetings Richard and Judith from Holland More

We flew in and out of San Jose on our recent trip to Costa Rica and chose to stay at Hotel Kekoldi for two nights total (one night at the beginning of the trip, one night at the end). The staff was very accommodating in arranging airport transportation for us, even when my flight was cancelled and rescheduled with delays.... More
