"Una excelente opción para conocer San José a pie y realizar tours a playas, volcanes, selvas, etc."

10.0

La ubicación privilegiada, el personal de recepción y el desayuno a la habitación. El hotel está a unos metros de donde te recogen los tour operadores para hacer excursiones. Dado que pasan a las 5 AM, es muy cómodo estar hospedado justamente ahí. El personal de recepción es sumamente atento y cordial. Diariamente te llevan tu desayuno a la habitación a la hora que indiques, lo cual es un plus.

Very central location right on a pedestrian street. Loud at night with people singing and talking but that just added to the experience.

"調包房間的旅館"

6.0

地點在市區中心

我訂的是有陽台的房間,旅館給我們沒陽台的房間。櫃台小姐說是booking 搞錯,她們有陽台的房間已經都客滿了,要我們跟booking 平台申訴,一直把責任推給booking 平台,也不想用沒陽台的價格算房價。我們堅持要有陽台,不然沒陽台要以沒陽台的房價計算。她還是一貫回應是booking 的錯。僵持半小時多,才給我們有陽台的房間。入住後才發現有陽台的房間還有空房。

The staff wasn’t hospitable, I didn’t feel welcome, the building was old, the room was basic, didn’t feel very clean. I don’t understand why this place has such a high rating. Breakfast was included, but unfortunately the traditional one came with an extra fee - I didn’t come to Costa Rica to eat ham and eggs.
