I stayed there several times on my trip and in San Jose I was very loyal to this accomodiation. Silent and save area, friendly staff, fresh coffee all the time, perfect Wifi, private parking for my rental car are some of the benefits of this place. The area around offers some really nice restaurants especially in the area "Escalante". Easy to walk to the City if you are not to lazy ;) Otherwise Uber is all around. The prices were volatil, but not expensive, so it was a good deal. I would go there again.

Marcel Germany

Quiet, good value for money. It's nice that they have drinks and snacks available at the reception.

Mallorie Costa Rica

Nice and safe location, we discovered “Jardín de Lolita” nearby which was a nice place to chill, eat and drink. The room was spacious. The free coffee was a nice touch.

David United Kingdom

I followed a tico friend suggestion and I didn't regret it. I ended up extended my stay for one more night at the first time and when I needed to come back to SJO, after travelling around CR, I stayed here again. It is located in a great area, near the nice neighbourhoods like la Cali, Barrio Escalante e San Pedro and not far from city centre. The ratio price/quality is good.
