I am just finishing a stay here and it was great--probably the best organized guesthouse I have ever stayed in. My room was off the lobby and since they have a quiet time from 8 pm on, noise was no problem. They can arrange any tour you want for you, just like any other place in San Jose. The continental...

I stayed in Kaps Place in 12/10, but I just now got into writing reviews for hotels. My trip to Costa Rica was a personal journey of sorts. I was having some personal issues at home in the US, and I wanted to run away for Christmas. I have dreamed of visiting Central America on my own, and just wandering... More

First let me say that the support staff for this establishment were fine. Everyone was very nice. The space itself also wasn't awful. The main problems with Kap's Place are its location and the owner. First of all, the hotel is not close to most places in San Jose. It is out of the main part of the city and... More

It was a delight for our family to stay at Kaps place. It really felt like a home for my two boys. Throughout our trip they have felt less than welcomed at many places, but immediately upon entering Kap's Place - the bright colors and the playroom put them at ease. The kitchen was well stocked with cooking supplies and... More

Our family has been staying at Kaps Place for a couple weeks. It is in an excellent location...super close to downtown San Jose (we walked there last week) and very close to UCR, lots of US fast food chains, the San Pedro Mall (great shopping) and the language school where my husband is enrolled. The staff is very friendly and... More

I have stayed at Kaps four (4) times in the past. The atmosphere has always been great with a friendly helpful staff. Kaps was originally recommended to me by a local San Jose dentist. Kaps is in a safe San Jose location near a local University & Hospital. I have walked all over San Jose from Kaps & other than... More

Clean rooms, friendly staff, nice atmosphere in a quiet and secure surrounding. The airport pick up worked very well. Cold beer and other beverages are available and have to be paid directly to the staff. Free internet service and international phone calls. Shops and restaurants are in walking distance, the center of the city is about 15 minutes by foot.... More

Nice staff, clean room, nice neighborhood 15 minutes from downtown, with good restaurants at walking distances. Rooms tend to be a little noisy, because of the thin walls and inside windows, but quiet hours (8 pm to 8 am) are respected.

Located on a quiet street in Barrio Aranjuez, about a 12 minute walk to the central business district. Hot water and clean rooms with TV. Safe to walk around at night. Karla and Luis are very helpful with maps directions, etc.
