Hotel Valladolid

Location.

This hotel is below basic very outdated.

Seems like a grand hotel which has seen better days. That said, the cost of the hotel is more than reasonable. The rooms were spacious for the price. Hotel staff provided great information for being prepared to explore San Jose and Heredia. The train is a great option (very reliable and relatively quick) to get to San Jose. Heredia is a wonderful area to walk around. Staff provided accurate estimates for taxi costs. Breakfast was an option of white bread toast and butter/jam or cereal. Both come with a banana and coffee/tea.

The rooms were noisy from street noise and wind so, bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. I traveled with two others (total of 3). When we booked, booking.com only had 2 person rooms listed, so we got two. In reality, both rooms had bed space for 4 (in one) and 5 (in the other). Might be worth booking directly with the property to avoid a similar issue. Despite this, the price was reasonable. My room was sunny and had a great view of the valley but my family's room was dark with limited windows. This ended up working out well because my family that stayed in the other room are light sleepers so were able to sleep in without light pollution but you don't know what you'll get.

location and area of the property is good. easy to get around via Uber.

wasn’t as clean as I hoped. No restaurant inside even thou it says there is one.

I was not offered breakfast

Hallways were dark

pretty good

Quiet, cute, family style hotel - you will enjoy the kindness from her host and simplicity of a quiet stay.

Good parking and safe.
