Perfect spot to stay next to San Jose city-center. Everything is walkable from this small hotel which is half a block from the main square. Staff is very nice, helpful, English-speaking, and accommodating. Free breakfast is large and lots of choices. Room was HUGE and very clean, bathroom was very modern, and the bed was comfortable. High marks!!

The hotel is extremely well located every location of interest in the downtown is walkable. The hotel is extremely clean and as on the pictures. We had breakfast included which was great, nice choice, local food options and large portions. It was perfect. Our room was rather noisy because of the work ongoing in the backstreet. As if the room is noisy if it is a problem for you. We didn’t change room. We would use it again next time

The staff were super helpful! Our flight was delayed and already a late evening flight. I got in contact and they provided us a ride service (for a fee, worth it), and we were able to get to the hotel safe and sound. Great staff, great service, and a great breakfast!

First and foremost: it’s centrally located : museums and other sites, shops, restaurants are walking distance. Second: rooms are elegant and accommodating. Third: staff is professional, friendly and very accommodating: they kept my luggage so I could travel light on small plane from San Jose to Limon for a few days, so I didn’t have to rent a storage locker. Lastly, breakfast is served fresh, hot and delicious: Five out of five stars!!!!!

Great location

Amazing location. Everything seemed walkable. Beds were cozy. The only real drawback was there was no real windows to look out and in the early morning there was this noise that sounded like pressurized steam blowing off intermittently from 7-9. Tolerable, just a bit annoying.

This hotel is in a convenient location, close to museums, central market, grocery stores and more. Included breakfast in restaurant in hotel was very good. For us, the only significant downside was our room was very small for two people with two pieces of luggage, backpacks, etc. and there was no window.
