Just right

This place was awesome. We stayed in the end room, it had a patio that overlooked the kitchen. Loved the atmosphere and location. Breakfast was a nice bonus. Beds were a bit on the firm side and the building is older, but adequate. Loved it!

Nice Place. I would recommend.

First of all. Hotel staff is really nice. Front desk staff and the restaurant folks are great. Juan Carlos has been there a long time and very nice to talk to. He will call you to wake you up to remember breakfast. Breakfast is a nice typical Costa Rican breakfast. Juice / Coffee / Tea along with Rice and eggs. Does the trick. Room's are basic, but kept clean as you can for an older hotel. It is a smaller place and rooms are on two floors down two long hallways. So if you are sensitive to noise, make sure you have ear plugs. Pricing is very fair. I was traveling alone, but when I was there, most of the the other guests were traveling together from Europe. Great value for money. If you are not super sensitive to thin walls, all good. I would return.

Overall pretty good! The $40 deposit for the TV remote was strange and unsettling. If I was going to steal a TV remote, why not just steal the flatscreen TV that went with it and wasn't even bolted down to anything?

Safe hotel near Central San Jose

Reception was amazing- thoughtful and helpful. It was welcoming and safe. Hotel was about a 20 minute walk to anything and everything of interest in San Jose. And we felt safe doing it (single mom with 3 kids aged 9, 7 and 5). Lots of food choices nearby. Hotel also has restaurant, but it was pricey and limited in its Costa Rican food. Definitely recommend!

Low cost Central Hotel

The beds are a little stiff but acceptable, good location if you need to park a car.... which can be a problem in San Jose. This is a relatively inexpensive hotel that is in a part of town where you probably don't want to spend a lot of time. Basic breakfast, safe environment.

Nice hotel on a quiet zone.

Overall experience was good. I had 2 minor issues: 1. No ice for a late night drink 2. 1st morning i was charged $18 (for 3 people) for a breakfast that it was supposed to be included. 2nd morning i got a "ticket for a breakfast" and everything was better. Food was OK, no fancy meal, but still good. I would recommend this hotel. I would stay again on it. Nice and friendly personnel.
