"I am very very disappointed in this hostel. There were no actual door locks. The property is old and not in good repair and worst of all is that my mattress smelled very strongly of cat urine. Really! They tried to cover it up by hanging a toilet bowl sanitizer on the wall of the room. I removed it because the fumes were overwhelming. Also... they rent rooms by the hour! Yikes. It was the worst experience for me in a hotel/hostel, and I am a world wide traveller and often opt for...

Top Catedral Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Centric San José Escazú

10/10 Excellent

"Great service"

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica

8/10 Good

"Everything was nice… eggs were a little runny for scrambled and the fried plantain were over ripened which made them mushy. Todo estuvo bien… los huevos estaban un poco líquidos para ser revueltos y el plátano frito estaba demasiado maduro, lo que lo hizo blando."

Radisson San Jose-Costa Rica

10/10 Excellent

"Es gracias al personal de este Radisson que seguimos alojándonos aquí. Siempre son muy atentos y nos reciben con una sonrisa. Desde el personal de limpieza hasta el del restaurante, seguridad y recepción, todos son muy amables y cordiales. También apreciamos el excelente mantenimiento y la limpieza del hotel, así como su constante renovación y mejora del entorno."

Costa Rica Guesthouse

8/10 Good

"Decent rooms for the price paid/ for a hostel. It could have a warmer vibe. However for travellers its the perfect place espacially for the price. And note that most importantly its highly secure both for the visitors and for the vehicle as it has the private and locked parcking which is rare in such a location. Great."

Costa Rica Backpackers - Hostel

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel staff make this place the one to go to because they are very friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean. The mattress was comfortable. 24 hour desk service. One thing that would make the place better is if they offered soap for the shower because people staying for one day may not be bringing soap with them."
