Great, very friendly and accommodating host. Beautiful and historic property! Close to the airport and rental return. Felt very comfortable and makes for a great place to stay during travel.

The staff was very friendly in making sure I had a cab back to the airport in the morning so I didn’t miss my flight. For some reason my cell phone wouldn’t make outbound calls to the local cab companies.

Wonderful experience for a stay near the airport. The owner is phenomenally friendly as he talked to us and gave us a great advice for the rest of our trip including the best driving routs and so much more about the locations to stay as well as tourist attractions. The breakfast was very good, fresh and tasty. We’re excited to stay here again at the end of our trip.

I loved my stay at Casa Antiqua, short though it was. The staff and particularly the owner went out of their way to accommodate my needs. I had left my cell phone in the van and they did everything possible to help me retrieve it quickly since I was flying out at 7am the next morning. I can't thank them enough! They also linked me up with airport transport at 4:45 the next morning and the cab arrived on the dot. A great experience! The room was very clean.

We loved our short stay at Casa Antigua. The owner and manager is incredibly attentive and helpful. The place is pretty incredible, with art and lots of beautiful woodwork created by the owner. It's very convenient to the airport. There were some rundown parts (ie broken toilet seat, restaurant no longer open), but overall it's a great value and we would stay there again.

Checking in was perfect, i believe it was the owner, he was helpful & incredibly helpful. He called our taxi for an early morning pickup, & brought us some morning snacks.
The overall room definitely needed some care, lots of noise, but they have earplugs on the nightstand.
I would stay again for an overnight

We stayed 2 nights, not consecutively, on our vacation and it was a comfortable and beautiful place to stay. But what made it really special is the owner, Henri. He gave us travel tips and places to stop along our way! We ended up having a lovely conversation with him and found out that he made all of the tables and chairs, and the wood decor for the entire hotel! It was truly a unique place to lay our heads for a night or two.

The location near airport was great and easy to get to by taxi. The staff, especially owner/manager, was incredibly helpful and saved us lots of money with drivers to destinations. Property was interesting but ok, kinda noisy. English speaking manager.

This place is right under the path of the planes landing. The traffic is really loud too but my last straw was that the shower only had cold water. I had wonderful coffee everywhere i went in Cost Rica but here. It was the worst coffee of all.
I rarely do reviews but i would not recommend staying here.

Overall it was ok, I just didn't like the dogs on the property. One dog almost attack me when I rang the Gate bell, to alert the Attendant that i wanted to get out off the lot.

Henry was an outstanding host. Very friendly pets on site made us feel right at home.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful this place is. It's conviently located so close to the airport, it's affordable and the manager/owner Henri has created a beautiful oasis within the city. As soon as you walk in you will forget your in the city center. There is a beautiful pool, and flowers and trees lining every square inch. Not only was breakfast great but Henri took about 45 minutes to sit down with us and help us plan our next move. I never plan ahead on my adventures, i let life take me and i go with the flow. The flow led us to Henri. He gave us wonderful recommendations and even called and booked a room for us at a resort up north using his connections to get us a discount. They don't make people like Henri anymore. He is wonderous.

Henry the owner of the hotel is super helpful and friendly. I was happy to skip the typical airport hotel experience and stay here. It feels like it should be by a beach! The area of course is mainly servicing the airport but this hotel is an oasis within that. Highly recommend for an economical stay with character versus the run of the mill airport hotel. Thanks Henry!

The owner of this hotel build this the oasis of airport hotels. It is absolutely darling. Further, everything that the owner did to retrofit is 100+ your house into a 12 room hotel is done with a lot of love and extreme talent. If you need a place to stay close to the airport, and like affordable off the track experiences, you cannot go wrong with this property. The breakfast was wonderful. The pool area is a great place to hang out. The Wi-Fi was strong. Five minute taxi ride to the airport.

A nice simple low budget option, located close to the airport. Henry, the proprietor of the hotel, is extremely friendly and helpful, and he’s done a beautiful job of decorating the old structure with his woodworking skills! You’ll feel welcomed here.

This was such a lovely place. Great vibe. Loved the furnishings and decorations. The pool is nice too. The owner is very friendly and the food from the restaurant next door is great. But, bring EARPLUGS!! This property has a great location, but is right in the flight path from the airport and on a major street.

Owner Henry made our day. Very friendly, accommodating, and always willing to help. He even helped us book a taxi ride to the airport in the morning. Thanks Henry for welcoming us to Costa Rica at the start of our trip and helping us get back home at the end!

The host Henry is wonderful, he can suggest things to see and do and he welcomes you to use the place like your own home. He has 2 lovely dogs on the property. So convenient to the airport and Henry will arrange the taxi for you going to the airport. Complimentary continental breakfast included. There is lots of traffic in the area and the occasional plane flies over so abit noisy unless you get a room at the back. Felt very comfortable here.

The family running Casa Antigua were so welcoming and awesome! They called a cab for us and even left coffee and cake for us before our 4:30am flight.
The place itself is a work of art as well. the outdoor garden area is beautiful. Much of it handcrafted by the owner. There are cool restaurants nearby as well. Great stay!

Advertised as having a restaurant but does NOT. Not nearly as nice as the photos show it to be. Extremely loud!

A bit noisey but clean and safe

This place is beautiful - the whole thing a work of art. Great restaurants in walking distance. Unfortunately it's great location close to the airport makes it incredibly noisy and so it's difficult to sleep. Lots of street traffic - big trucks, horns and it's constant. Planes take off directly over the hotel so that's loud too. But, the staff are beautiful, helpful people and if you bring noise cancelling headphones it would be perfect.
2.0
The impression gained from the web is misleading. The staff were welcoming and charming, it was clean but our room on the street was very noisy all night. There is no restaurant on site although we were recommended others. We didn’t have breakfast as we’re leaving early. Helpful staff ordered taxi to airport for us. Expensive.
