As a frequent traveler to Costa Rica, I have chosen Villa Tournon as my base in San Jose. I knew the original owner, a Dutch expat, who created a nice blend of European and Costa Rican elements for an atmosphere that is comfortable, solid, and still very tropical in feel. It has remained Costa Rican owned and operated and the... More

The Villa Tournon is out of the City Centre, but within walking distance (10-15minutes). There were some rooms that were a little tired and worn, but others were much better. We originally had a room at the front of the hotel & it was very noisy (a bar / singing), but the staff were happy to move us to another... More

Hotel is 10 minutes walk from town based on a noisy road with a casino and night club next door.Be careful when booking rooms that you ask for a quiet room away from noise of loud music in nightclub, ideally at back of hotel.Hotel has a nice pool. Food adequate but not inspiring. Decor is dated beds are very firm More

We stayed in this hotel at the beginning and end of our Costa Rica Tour. first two nights were adequate but not inspiring, the last night (Friday night) our 'Superior Room' was right on top of the night club/casino and sleep was impossible until 5am!! The superior room had carpet instead of wooden floors which was filthy and the wallpaper... More

We stayed here as part of a mission team. Many groups booked the hotel for one/two night stays - most are teenagers with limited supervision, no manners, and early departures (4am). Two different groups came thru while we were there. In one case, the 17-year-olds partying became so bad, the hotel called the police. However, the staff is VERY NICE... More

I stayed at this hotel for eight long nights. The bedding consisted of twin beds with mattresses that were as hard as rocks. The room had a strong smell of dampness that I wondered about the mold growing behind the walls. Many of those in my group complained of no hot water and window a/c units that did not work.... More

A friendly enough welcome, however this is an old hotel in need of refurb. The start and end point of a Costa Rica country tour I was checked into two very contrasting rooms during two stays. The first at the beginning of the trip was very uninspiring. The bathrooms in particular were unusually appointed with a bath / shower layout... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2 nights. The first night i got a decent nights sleep, probably because i wasnt facing the busy road outside. HOWEVER, the second night was a Friday and the noise from the adjoining casino and bar round the back of the hotel was unbearable!! The bass thudded through the walls so be warned!! Superior rooms...

This is the place where I was to meet the group I would be travelling around Costa Rica with (people I'd never previously met!) I arrived at the hotel at 10pm, the reception was still open and the staff all spoke a good level of English and my room was nice, containing 3 single beds. The only issue for me... More
