Very cute and educational about the local culture with beautiful artwork and statues throughout the property. David at the front desk was amazing! Breakfast was delicious and we felt safe although the neighborhood does not look the safest from the outside. Rooms were very cute and smelled so refreshing.

    We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

    San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

    In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

    As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luck

    There is much to do and see here…very spread out. Might be wise budget-wise if longer stay to rent a car. Otherwise Uber is great here! The Green Arc Foundation, the art museum, walking tours, local food—Soda—, La Chimba, Sunday farmer markets, and refreshing climate are all so enjoyable!

    The most significant disadvantages of San Jose are the traffic--which is truly some of the worst one can imagine--and the overall lack of safe, public commons. The lack of public commons is a common issue to most of the country but seems worse in San Jose as nearly all property is behind bars and razor wire. There are some close by attractions for tourists so it can be a good base for a stay.

    Me and my husband stay here everytime we come to San Jose . We have stayed here probably 10 times ( we live in Costa Rica and come to San Jose for shopping for our business ) I LOVE this hotel. It is clean, good location, private parking , and an incredible deal for the price you pay. I 10000000% recommend this hotel! I will never stay anywhere else when coming to San Jose . I always ask for a certain floor to stay on and they accommodate me everytime . We have a future booking reserved for next month already! See you soon

    The hotel staff are extremely nice and helpful. They helped us with the parking and gave us useful advice for exploring San José. The garden is beautiful with beautiful Costa Rican art distributed everywhere. The breakfast especially is amazing and they always come to you to ensure that you have everything you need and are ready to refill your drinks anytime. I can highly recommend this hotel and will always come back when I stay in San José.

    Authentic small hotel promoting sustainability. Local produce prepared and cooked by local people. Clean crisp bedding on comfortable beds and easy to work hot shower. Room is Costa Rican in character with plenty of storage space if staying a few days. Sadly we were just passing thru after arriving in San Jose. Reception staff were lovely as well. Would have liked to have stayed longer.

    Friendly staff and good breakfast, free and save parking on the hotel compound, convenient restaurant option for late arrival next door in the Casino. The location of the hotel is quite good: It is possible to walk to downtown San Jose or to the market. The only bad point: we had a room facing directly the street and it was very noisy.
