I was going to stay a few days but I hated it and only stayed one night. The room was not that clean including trash on the floor and a dirty bedspread. Lights did not work at the end of the hall so I had to grope my way to my room in the dark. Asked for that to be... More

The staff at Hotel Chirripo is helpful, friendly and professional. The rooms are well looked after and clean. The hotel is now in the process of remodeling and the rooms look fabulous! The city of San Isidro is a great place to stop over before heading for Costa Rica's Pacific coast, the Dominical area or when wanting to climb the... More

We were a bit wary about staying here after reading other reviews, but were very pleasantly surprised. Our private room was small but very clean and looked as though it had been refurbished recently: the bathroom was equally clean and the shower was safe (a rarity in Costa Rica!). It's also very central - the bus station is a 2... More

I enjoyed my stay in San Isidro and found the Hotel Chirripo to be excellent value for money - it was clean, comfortable and the staff were so super friendly and helpful - I was made to feel very welcome. I requested a quiet room and that is what I was given, although the hotel was pretty quiet throughout anyway... More

Arrived by bus and was shown to the hotel by a fellow traveler who asked why I chose it. I said I heard it's clean and cheap. It is. In that respect it was fine . A private room with multiple baths down the hall was $14. The bed was a queen and ok, ceiling fan , tv, internet. Loud... More

I stumbled into town without a place to stay. Not finding any hostels, I decided to pay for a room. I was delighted that they had a room for $14 with a shared bath. I just paid the same at costa rica backpackers in san jose and was elated to get a private room with a fan and cable tv!!... More

Good location , quiet, wifi, no h2o . Get in,get out. We found the hotel zima nearby with all the amenities including a pool,and river behind property. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Cost a little more but worth it.

Paid about 18$ for a single room, with a/c, cable tv, wireless internet and private bathroom. (shared bathroom would be 12$). The hotel is located at the central square, and the bar/restaurant which belongs to the hotel is a local exapt hangout. The room was basic but clean, and the value for that price is probably unbeatable.

Hotel Chirripo is located in the very center of San Isidro de El General, right across from the twin-spired cathedral. The patio of their restaurant is THE place in San Isidro for people watching. If you're dead set to stay in the city center, this is the place to be, otherwise there are decent alternatives just outside of town. The... More
