Hotel 1492

A Good small hotel, that meets my basic needs for my short stays in San Jose. Small Clean rooms, good cafe with the breakfast, reasonable priced and in a secure location. Bonus for being in the trendy neighborhood of Escalante. Which may make it the biggest bargain in this trendy area that is know for it galleries, restaurants and bars... Glamorous it is not, but comfy it is, in this old architectural gem.

Beautiful place, very well located. The common spaces are very nice, room are small but very clean. It's a great way to stay in a "typical" costa rican house at a very low price. Employees are nice, excellent service, although almost none spoke English or French. But they were very helpful and did everything to help in every situation. The environment is nice, great neighbour, lots of nice restaurants and bars, down-town 15 min walk. Fully recommend.

Charming, sweet, historical. Superb location. Delicious breakfasts. Helpful staff. Laundry available when we arrived with soaking wet clothes from adventuring in the rain forest. I’d pick this hotel again and again. Book it!

I like the outdoor seating area, the room was small but clean. I like the free WiFi, there was no business center, I needed to print my Covid test result had to find the nearest office to do so. Overall the place was good for the price.

As of April, 2022, the property is in a transitional period. This property is an old house converted to hotel, and is currently showing it's age a little. But it is being modernized and refurbished. In the meantime, I think it is a good value for the money, as the rate will surely increase in the future. The location is convenient, and walking to downtown takes about 15 minutes. The staff was attentive and efficient. Currently, breakfast is offered, but not lunch or dinner. There are lots of dining choices within easy walking distance. According to travel websites, it is a 3 star, and I agree with that. If you want a quiet place, on a street with few pedestrians, and a comfortable room, this is a safe bet.

The appearance from the outside was deceptive compared to the inside. Rooms were small and basic with dated decor. Beds were very uncomfortable and the bathroom was quite dirty with bad, cold shower and toilet that leaked. I would not stay again. The only positives were the price, communal areas and its location within a less busy neighbourhood about 20 minutes walk away from the main bus station.

Le falta mantenimiento. La recepcion muy bonita. La habitacion la ventana no cerraba y un poco incomoda para poner la valija. El personal gentil

Lo que no me gusto fue el tipo de colchón demaaido suave, parecia una esponja pero por todo lo demás muy bonito y tranquilo, personal super amable

Hotel was located near city center and restaurants. The building and the garden were nice, but the room was very small and worn out. The lock of the room was broken. The bed was not comfortable.
