Étape sympa pour découvrir San Jose

Hôtel très bien placé, sympa pour y passer une ou deux nuits Une des rares alternatives à des hotels de grande chaine

Niveau de service à améliorer : personne pour monter les bagages au 2eme etage sans ascenseur

A nice night away

The building has a lot of colonial charm. It was very quiet. The bed was comfortable. Hot water was great!We had appetizers and drinks at the restaurant and everything was really good. And the portions were enough that we ended up not ordering dinner.

It would be really nice to have AC. The fan in our first room was very noisy and the lady at the reception desk was very hesitant to give us a different room. But I insisted and the fan in the second room was great.

This hotel was a great value and met all our needs for the night before we left for the airport!

Rooms were clean, well kept, and had what we needed. Breakfast was included and was very nice.

No parking and that was not communicated prior to arriving that I saw. We had a difficult time finding the hotel. Parking was close by but not easy to find.

Great hotel to end an action packed time in Costa Rica, perfect for our extra day before flying home

What a gem of hotel in San Jose. Good Food, Clean Room, generally clean premises and a good pool for a dip after a busy 10 days around costa rica. Only stayed 1 night but would be ideal for a short city break.

Pool bar not open!

Nice hotel

Good location. Nice room. Nice restaurant in the hotel.

Hotel needs a bigger sign what is visible from the street - when coming to hotel taxi driver drove past the hotel. Same happened when leaving my hotel, I saw my Uber drive right past. The hotel sign with name must be better visible from the street.

I expected more from it

Colonial external appearance. Early morning breakfast (extremely simple, but still you can get to eat something leaving early). Super convenient location.

The pool is dirty and lacks maintenance, and it's small. No elevator at all, no offering to help with your luggage. I thank you for the early breakfast, it's a great idea, but it's extremely modest.

The room was nice, but the location of the room was too close to the kitchen and it was too noisy.

The style and decoration were amazing. The heart of downtown is a small walk away.

The room was super noisy. We got a room next to the kitchen and early in the morning we could hear the workers talking loudly and it was impossible to sleep.

Pathetic customer service from the manager of the hotel, no AC in room even though the description clearly stated it has

Was okay for a one night short stay

booking.com and the hotel both provide false advertisement stating the room I booked has AC. it did not have any sort of AC!

it really is a lovely place. the staff was great the food good and very well located

The only thing that we didn’t like was “our” room was unavailable and we were put on the 3rd floor with no elevator. we are seniors and climbing the stairs was a little difficult and tiresome.

Could be better

The location is in walking distance of el centro and to museums.

The cleaning staff used a bench outside my room as their staging area which meant there were always dirty towels, sheets, dishes stacked there and it was noisy early in the morning. I slept in and had a later breakfast and the buffet had not been replenished.

We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel and would stay there again.

The hotel is very nice, lots of pillars around the pool and colonial touches. The staff was very helpful. When we arrived at 3 am after a delayed flight, we found that our room was on the third floor and my husband has mobility issues. The clerk took our luggage up for us. The next day, we asked for a room on the ground floor and they moved our luggage to a nicer room than we had before. The resto was good too.

When we first arrived, our room was small, there were no towels and the bedside light didn’t work. However, our second room on the ground floor was spacious, bright and airy. I would suggest requesting a ground floor room.

Disappointing

The breakfast wasn’t very good. The pictures online were not accurate. Next door is a hotel that books by the hour.

The breakfast is great and it is not a continental breakfast. We had our grandsons with us on one trip and they made pancakes to the menu for them. All the staff is great,, we really love them. When we go to San Jose, that is the only place we stay.

Pleasant

We felt safe closed entrance. The beds were comfortable, the bathrooms were new and nice size The restaurant is the best thing they have, the desserts and food were good, and price for food was reasonable . The guy in the morning was very nice.

The lady at the front desk was ok, the first room she gave us was right next to the kitchen and the window didn't close all the way, the other room was better with a view of the mini pool and city. The location of the tv was awkward, the bathroom was small with only a shampoo, a small soap for toiletries. The food at the restaurant restaurant was good but the meal was cold. No ac in the room. They had a fan it was a cooler night so it was ok.
