“A boutique gem on a modest side street”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 February 2012

We stayed here on the first night of our Fly and Drive Costa Rica vacation, arriving late after weather-related travel delays and negotiating horrendous rush hour traffic from the airport. Though modest on the outside this hotel is a minimalist gem inside. We were immediately made welcome by friendly staff, and shown to a tastefully furnished quiet room, next to the little open-air spa. A good dinner, night's sleep and pleasant breakfast left us well prepared for our drive up into the mountains the next day.

Room Tip: Try to get good directions, it is on a side street and a bit hard to find.

“Attractive, clean, and comfortable”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

I stayed at this hotel one night on a group tour just before flying home. I can't speak to value, since I did not pay for the room, but I can say that I felt very comfortable and even pampered there. The hotel is modern in style and conveniences. My room was attractive and clean, and my bed was very comfortable. Dinner in the restaurant was delicious and the service was attentive and pleasant. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend it to friends.

Room Tip: My second-floor room was very quiet.

“An Excellent City Transfer Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2012

person found this review helpful

This is not a hotel where you spend your holiday but one where you spend a few nights in transit. We stayed three times for a total of four nights during a tour of Costa Rica. The staff were always helpful, including the room maid who found the mobile phone we had left behind, and cheerful. The room was very well equipped and the meals were good. What more can you want?

There was a big park nearby to stretch one legs and a local supermarket and pharmacy if you needed last minute supplies.

“Great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2012

This was a lovely hotel and very ecologically conscience. They had energy saving measures, eco soaps, etc, easy access recycle bins and a great atmosphere. The hotel is indoor/outdoor with open air corridors (and an open-air jaccuzi spa, great for star gazing). The rooms are a bit dimly lit, but if you turn on the lights over the bed its not bad. They have gated parking, free wifi, a small gym and a larger gym a block down the street. Several restaurants were walkable (We ate at Padrisimos, a quaint 'Mexican' place with great food) and the restaurant inside the hotel is nice as well, though we didn't eat there so don't know the prices. The staff is excellent - I'd recommend this hotel. Its right off a major highway as well, so its easy to get in and out of.

“all positive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 January 2012

One night stay before drive around Costa Rica. Very clean room and spa. Excellent dinner in restaurant. Very helpful front desk and waitstaff. Only difficulty was finding it without street names or driving directions on web site.
