Originally I was suppose to stay at tranquillos but after hearing thru have bed bugs I walked around and found hotel kekoldi . I rang the bell and a min later someone came . I was there during quiet season , this month and they had a room . Rooms were fine , hot water , bed with sheets and comfortable and they directed me to restaurants . Didn't walk around much as I stayed there one night in the beginning of my trip and one night at the end. Breakfast is included which was average . He asked me if I wanted eggs and I asked what time it was , I had 15 minutes . That's enough but never got them . Internet is free , for 50$ I was ok with sleeping with no bed bugs, hot water and a tv and clean sheets , since other places I was at were worse . I would stay there again but like everyone says get out of San Jose

We stayed at the Kekoldi in 2007 and found it comfortable and in a safe area (Barrio Amon), so it was easy to choose our hotel when we returned this summer. Again, we weren't disappointed. The rooms are well furnished, have good beds, fan, closet, fridge and safe (if you need them). Bathrooms are fine, showers hot.

Breakfast is provided in a little garden area at the back of the hotel. We had to leave early for our flight home, sadly, so didn't have time to try this. Afternoon coffee is also provided: a nice touch. Free internet is included.

The hotel staff are friendly. English is spoken if your Spanish is limited. The staff arranged our transfer to the airport for $30.

We flew into San Jose late in the afternoon on a fly-drive/hotel voucher package and stayed here overnight before heading off before 7am the next morning. We were provided with a large double bedroom overlooking the small garden and the make-shift bar (nb. there is no restaurant). It was very basic but could not be faulted on size and cleanliness and the staff were friendly and helpful. So it was fine for a stopover, but wouldn't come here looking for any kind of luxury.

we pre-booked this hotel from back home before we started our trip to costa rica/nicaragua. actually we planned to just stay 2 nights but our luggage got stuck and we had to stay 4 nights. the staff was really helpful and friendly with getting our luggage finally delivered.
the reception is open 24/7 and sells soft drinks and beers.
the wireless internet only works somewhat in the garden.

its a a very good hotel for a few days and has a really lovely garden. something you can hardly find in san jose.
