Guest Reviews
- Roberto (7/5): - Los anfitriones muy amables La habitación cerca de la entrada no tenía aire acondicionado, el ventilador no funcionaba y la cama tenía un daño.
Las otras dos habitaciones estaban bastante bien.
- Weiner (8/5): -
- JAVIER (9/5): - Llegué muy tarde y salí muy pronto por lo que no pude disfrutar de las instalaciones. Aunque desde lejos parecían estar bien. La habitación estaba limpia y la cama era cómoda.
- CLARA (10/5): - Muy cómodas las camas y trato super bien. .
- J Pablo (6/5): - la piscina no tenían variedad de bebidas
- Cinzia (8/5): Nel complesso sono stata molto soddisfatta della struttura - Servizio piscina e colazione ottima. L’orario in cui chiudono i cancelli della struttura , le 20. Quando sono in vacanza non amo avere orari.
- STINSON (10/5): Our trip was for business but the accommodations made it feel like a vacation. - Host were very attentive, they went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. Staff was very helpful. Grounds were lovely.
- Kjersten (9/5): got us to the airport quickly for early flight - Very friendly staff. Great location near the airport for travel. Lighting in the room and bathroom had no mirror
- Alberto (7/5): Precio alto para la ubicación e instalaciones - entrada y parqueo incomodo
- Sandra (10/5): - Bra läge till mc-uthyrningsfirman vi anlitade. Vacker utsikt. Rent och fint. Mycket trevlig personal.
- Sandra (10/5): - Mycket vackert läge. Nära till mc-uthyrningsfirman vi anlitade. Trevlig personal.
- Jose (10/5): Un bello lugar - La habitación Que no hubiera servicio de restaurante
- Ruth (10/5): -
- gray (8/5): - nice view, good staff, good safe parking, comfortable bed shower head was badly adjusted so that the water poured out of it on one side, no spraying..... hot/cold adjustment was almost non existent or one dimensional. overall, the hotel could have been less expensive as the price did not include breakfast, but the parking was very good and location too
- Taya (6/5): Pleasant - Location was ideal, there were good food options close to us. The owners were very friendly and accommodating to us when we would leave the property. Very quiet and peaceful. We felt like we were home it was very calming. The rooms could be updated, we had issues with the water temp but I just think that is all of Costa Rica, It was sometimes frustrating trying to get back into the property because we had to be buzzed in. We had to wait 15 mins one time because it was kind of late, I wish we could have gotten a code to go in and out. The restaurant they have on property is just a small place and only offer a few things.
- Mark (10/5): Really enjoyed our time. Very accommodating hosts. - The views were amazing, super friendly hosts who made a great dinner.
- Mark (9/5): Superb -
- Marlene (6/5): A bit shabby and needed some TLC but could be a practical choice for a family. - The owner/managers were personable, friendly and helpful. The pool/bar area was appealing, particularly after it was tidied up. The room I was assigned was spacious with two separate bedrooms, each with a large bed. The bathroom was also spacious, although it was off one of the bedrooms so was only accessible by passing through that bedroom. Would be ideal for a family. The shower provided lots of hot water. Room appeared clean. The windows were covered with a plastic sheathing to prevent seeing out or in. When I opened the door to see the greenery (which is the reason I come to Costa Rica), I realized that the parking area was right outside. The toilet seat was broken. The hotel was about 2.5 kms from the recommended restaurant and we were on foot. It was a good walk for us but we Ubered back as it was dark and on a busy street.
- Storvik (9/5): Excellent value for a quick stay! - The staff was so kind and hospitable. They accommdated us last minute, offered to serve a fresh breakfast for a very small additional cost and made sure we had a safe and comfortable 1 night stay in between our transfers. If I was staying longer, I would have liked a little better curtain on the room windows and a deeper clean on the room itself.
- Hannah (4/5): Disappointing -
- Douglas (8/5): Nice place only got to stay 1 night - Had a good view of the valley. Ac, hot water, Wi Fi, and tv all worked. Parking is a little tight.
- Robert (8/5): Very good -
- Michael (9/5): Superb -
- Kevin (9/5): Superb - Very clean, comfortable and spacious room. The staff were very helpful. A bit far from shops etc.
- Franco (10/5): Friendly. Confortable. Close enough to the airpoet as to make it a good place to stay if you have an early flight. - Has everything needed for a comfortable stay.
Restaurant on the grounds.
Friendly staff. Easy to pass up, since the road it is on has high traffic flow.
If you pass it up, don’t worry. There are intersections close by to turn around.
- Jhuesmann (9/5): Great staff, exceptionally secure, clean, room is a good value for your money - The location was great. The rooms and overall hotel were very clean. The grounds were very nice. The location was exceptional secure - safest location for my vehicle overnight that I've stayed at in the San Jose area.
It was the staff that really made this location shine. They went above and beyond repeatedly while we were there. Food at restaurant was OK, but expensive.
- Lucas (3/5): Waste of time - Breakfast was good Accommodation was shabby, Finance Payment did not go correct and felt cheated, We where lucky we good proof double payment had happened. Debit card past normally and was deducted from my account, however the lady said it did not pass and we had to pay cash. Because of this we were not able to pay for the other meals as our thrust to use the card was gone.
- Kevin (10/5): Exceptional -
- Emily (7/5): Will get the job done - The staff was very friendly and the room was clean. The shower was finicky with low pressure and there were only sheets on the bed.. no blanket or comforter. Overall, it was a good stay, though.
- Tracy (10/5): Exceptional - Very nice Nothing
- Dan (10/5): - The staff was excellent the room was nice good food in the restaurant.
- Kristin (9/5): Superb - Very friendly owner, spacious rooms, perfect stay for one or two nights (we stayed for one night after a long flight), food was surprisingly delicious
- Alexandre (10/5): Exceptional - Host was VERY nice and accomodating
Close to the airport!
- Andrew (9/5): Nice, convenient hotel short drive from San Jose - Booked at the last minute after our flight arrived too late for us to drive from San Jose to La Fortuna before it got dark. Great solution - really easy to get to. Nice room and even has a nice Asian food restaurant on site. Super friendly staff. Struggled to control the temperature in the shower at times.
- Melba (10/5): Managers and personal are amazing, they really do their best to make you feel great/comfortable. - Everything Unable to control water temperature in the shower.
- Asmel (10/5): I enjoyed the beautiful cats they have in the property they are also very friendly. - Every thing but best of all the stuff and the management. They are very flexible and very good at making sure that the guests gets what they want or need.
- Alanna (10/5): Exceptional -

- Michael (10/5): Staff were amazing - The staff were very welcoming and super nice! Great views, close to the airport.
- Matthew (9/5): Superb - Quiet at night, secure, pool and hot tub, hot shower w great towels, beautiful mountain view and courteous hosts. I will stay again. Not much. I think the value exceeded the price.
- Trevor (7/5): Overall good property with proximity of the airport if arriving late and don’t want to drive too far. - Close proximity to the airport. The host Linda was great. Fine for a one night stay but that was enough.
- ルネ (9/5): Warming welcomed stay. - Although We booked 10 min before of our arriving, they were very kind to let us in.

- Iris (8/5): Perfect stay after arriving late at the airport - The host was super friendly and helpful. We booked the wrong night by mistake and she took care of it. Breakfast was very nice too. Very close to the airport, so good location when you arrive late. The shower was either very cold or very hot, nothing in between.
- Guy (9/5): Superb -
- Peter (9/5): Superb -
- Rony (10/5): Exceptional -
- Agnieszka (8/5): Very good - Comfortable room close to the airport
- Vgvs (9/5): Villa Garrita Inn - Value for your Money - This inn is well priced and includes a filling breakfast. Excellent location when you need to be on the outskirts of San Jose and on your way early to your next destination heading to la Fortuna.
Continuous improvements with new ownership are underway. You can enjoy a nice pool and great view from back of property overlooking greenspace. Luis, our host was incredibly hospitable. Bonus: He shared plenty of the java apples with us as we had never tried them before. They make for a juicy tasty treat.. You will feel secure in this gated inn.
- Beatriz (7/5): Good - the staff were very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. very personable and accommodating. the rooms are nice and comfortable and the pool was clean. the location on a busy road. the tiny bathrooms.
- Simeon (7/5): Comfi beds, but the street gets noisy early in the morning. - Very friendly staff. Airport pick up and drop off was possible on short notice. Our plane had three hours delay. It was no big deal to pick us up late at night. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Perfect accommodation for the first or last night in Costa Rica. We had a room close to the road. At about 4am, passing trucks were very loud. I‘d recommend to book a room which faces to the courtyard.
Breakfast was okay. Unfortunately only inside.
- Kierebinska (6/5): good value for money near the aiport - breakfast was good, location near International airport, swimming pool was clean room is rather like a cabin, in the evening strong smell of garbage outside, close to the busy street, could hear the traffic all night, renovtion in progress
- Paul (9/5): Superb - Linda and Luis were fantastic. Really friendly and so helpful when I locked the keys in my car!
- Robert (8/5): Very good - Staff was super friendly and it was reasonable price
- Martha (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel was perfect for what we needed. Three of us arriving late at night to safe and secure place with comfortable clean beds and a lovely breakfast in the morning. There is nothing I didn't like, but do be aware that if you're planning on spending time by the pool there is construction going on currently right next to it. Certainly wasn't a problem for us.
- Vane (10/5): Exceptional -
- Vane (10/5): Exceptional -

Newly renovated
Great value
- Klára (8/5): short stop on the trip - beds ok, room was comfortable, nice mountain view, excellent breakfast, close to the airport it’s not marked properly in the map, hotel is located about 500 mts in San Jose direction, the road is very noisy, there was a house construction next to the hotel- very loud morning, bathroom could be cleaner
- Adriana (10/5): Exceptional -
- Aurora (9/5): Superb -
- Emily (9/5): Superb - Brand new property. Super clean. Staff are really nice and helpful. Location is convenient. Beautiful view. Great value for stay!
- Charlie (8/5): Great affordable place to stay near airport - Great little place to stay just 10 min drive from the airport. They even came to get us for a small fee. It’s quiet as the place has opened not long ago. The staff is friendly and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast and fruit trees. We visited the Botanical Orchid Garden closeby and it was beautiful.
