We stayed this hotel 6 years ago. We stayed several hotels in San Jose but this hotel is the best. So we came back this hotel for our comfort. I'm so glad we were there. So comfortable and stuff are so nice. Breakfast is amazing.

Shukocl United States of America

easy parking, clean, good amenities. equipped gym. loved the sauna and steam room

Fausto Italy

They could make more money adding a few features more, it is really high quality and not too expensive. Feel free to contact me if you want a few ideas on how to bring more money in by actually providing value and not just a narrative. I love the place and I will for sure stay here when I come back to CR. Pura Vida

David El Salvador

The Hotel is Beautiful, it has everything you need and everyone was so nice and pleasant.

Rowan United States of America

I was very surprised with the suite, great space and nice view. I loved the little extras. The staff was awesome, specially Kary from the front desk. Also the access to the sixth floor lounge was a big plus. All on an amazing price.

Irving United States of America

Love the property. Very nice pool, though it rained and we could not swim but very pretty. Very nice garden.

Jennifer United States of America

Everything went great! It brought back memories from over 9 years ago when we first came to Costa Rica. Even the piano was still in the lobby.

Everything was excellent: service, room, great value

    Hello! Receive warm greetings from Costa Rica, for us it will be a privilege to welcome you to the hotel, we appreciate your choice. We were checking your request for the free airport shuttle service; unfortunately our shuttle service has a pre-established schedule, this service starts at 4:30AM finishes at 10.30PM, so we cannot confirm your transportation request; we can recommend you to take an orange taxi from the Airport, they are there 24 hours and have an approximately cost of $30 USD.
