We stayed here for 2 nights before we left to go to Jaco. We get there and they give us the room and and we head up but the door to the room is open and they were not finished cleaning it. Not a big deal we went to the bar and had some lunch, which was OK. The room... more

First I have to say that the staff were very nice and helpful and we had an excellent dinner. We were just in San Jose for one night and had not planned on leaving the hotel which worked fine because the area is definitely sketchy. We were a group of three, two men and one woman in our early 50's.... more

I lodged at the La Amistad Dec 30, 2009 through Jan 20, 2010. Friends had stayed there in the past and recommended it to me - I was not disappointed, in fact, my expectations were exceeded. The La Amistad is conveniently located to central San Jose and lots of entertainment venues. The restaurant serves excellent lunch and dinner selections, and... more

Hotel Amistad is an excellent hotel for both solo travelers, back packers and eco tourists! I found the interiors of the hotel architecturally unique. Because of the unique layout of the hotel rooms, not all room layouts are alike. I found my room on the 3rd floor quite spacious and comfortable. Bed had memory foam mattress that was quite comfortable.... more

The rooms are immaculate, you rarely see the lobby without a lady cleaning something. The food is phenominal and they have an excellent wine and drink list. The staff speak english and spanish fluently. The ONLY issue is the commuter train that runs outside the hotel,yes the blow the train whistle but it stops by 7PM. This to me personally... more

The staff was very attentive to my needs. I stayed in a single bedroom on 3rd floor. Bed was soft. Bathroom nice. Good view of San Jose sierra in the distance. Room was small but felt really cozy. Bar area is nice. Complimentary breakfast nice. The food service was really fast even by U.S. standards and especially by Costa Rica... more

We stayed at Hotel La Amistad twice during our nine day vacation in Costa Rica - when we first arrived in San Jose for two nights, and on our final night in San Jose before we flew back to the United States. During the other six days, we traveled to both Arenal / La Fortuna to tour the Arenal volcano,... more

I have stayed at the Amistad maybe 15 times over the past two years. Previous to the Amistad, I stayed at the Presidente, Holiday Inn, Sleep Inn, Gran Oro, and others closer to the airport in Alajuela such as the Molina. My most recent stay was Dec. 1-7 with my partner. I read the previous review and was somewhat surprised... more

This hotel is for middle-aged American men looking for prostitutes. When we arrived to our room we set our stuff down on the bed to find a red stain on the comforter (it might of been blood but I wasn't getting close enough to find out). There were also cigarette burns and white crusty stains as well. For as nice... more
