Quaint and comfortable.

The hotel staff are incredible friendly and wanted to do everything to help. They helped me arrange airport transfer and were always on hand to help with any questions I had. The room was cute and comfortable.

The noise of the trains meant that I was woken up pretty early in the mornings. I would recommend people bring earplugs or similar if they are staying here, as the noise is very loud as of around 6am each morning.

Colourful, low cost and safe San Jose accommodation

The building and reception area is a very pretty historic house and the style runs through the rooms with colourful touches like patterned tiles and brightly painted walls. Our room had thoughtful extras like a hairdryer, hidden wardrobe and the shower was hot and high pressure. The staff were lovely - held my parking space when we were late to arrive at night and the whole stay was very reasonably priced.

great stay for a great price

Old San José property but super quaint. Old open floor plan… outdoor courtyard… rooms a comfortable size… absolute great location for downtown… unbeatable price.

maybe the rooms a little too outdated

Safe and comfortable stay

The mattress was very comfortable and they arranged a transfer from the airport for me. As a solo female traveller, I felt safe in the area and accommodation.

Breakfast portions were very small for the price.

Very handy and safe location for a few day stay. Found the place to be very quiet, in an old charming house, with plenty of seating to lounge around in the Common room. Room is a Little small but was not an issue

Hotel close to Escalante.

The trains are loud, and always honk when passing by, windows are not soundproof. you will not sleep past 5:30. The receptions was not helpful.

Great for a short stay - dream location

The building is beautiful antique and colonial style. The staff are very nice and helpful. Location excellent. Loads of wonderful cafes, bars, restaurants nearby.

Although the entrance and courtyard building are kept well, the rooms themselves could do with some love and care. Broken glass in the window. Window wouldn't shut properly so mosquitos inside. Tiles in the bathroom broken. No shelving. But it was all fine for one night.

overall bad!

the ONLY good thing was the location. but since the room was so bad i didnt sleep there

there where several spiders in the room, the sheets in the bed vas not clean. huge stains all over. you couldn’t close the windows completely and there were no like “animal net” over the windows either which you would kind of think it should be since you couldn’t close them. the bathroom is dirty. and the staff doesn’t know any English. it was a complete nightmare so I went to my friends hotel instead. like, I couldn’t stand it.

Very nice hotel close to Barrio Escalante

The hotel has a very good location close to Barrio Escalante, where you can find many nice cafes and restaurants. The hotel itself has a nice little backyard where you can have your breakfast outside. The rooms are simple but spacious. The hotel staff is super friendly.

This was a budget hotel in a good location close to restaurants.

The hotel was aesthetically pleasant and the breakfast was good for the value.

The room smaller than we expected and the toilet was wobbly. The hot water was intermittent and at times we were showering with just trickles of warm water.

Location and ambiance of the lobby and common areas. Quaint Spanish colonial style early 20th century house.

Room is a bit dark and musty. Room lacks ventilation and window is large but only has view of a very small patio, really a view of a wall, so it is still dark inside.

Just fine if you don’t expect US standards. small but clean, not fancy, but appropriate for a couple nights stay and cl

Walking distance to downtown. Muséums, parks, shops, restaurants . Great staff. very helpful. Good warm breakfast made to order.

Very close to train… early morning. only 3 parking spots in front. but parking around the corner. very small room. ( but priced accordingly)
