Guest Reviews
- Nohemias (8/5): - Nice AND clean
- FACUNDO (10/5): - Safe, clean, and quiet. In the middle of Chinatown on a pedestrian only street. You can pick up your taxi or uber at the corner with ease. Police presence and police cameras around town make it safer than other areas. The staff is very supportive and will offer their guidance for a better stay. Safety lockers available. Mattress remarkably comfortable.
- Noel (10/5): - Amazing place to stay will come with family again
- Juan (10/5): - The only thing is that the room I got was with my own bathroom the issue was that the bathroom was private but it was outside the room which was not stated on the room description.
- Joejoe (10/5): - Everything was Great. would Stay again !!
- Jacqualene (10/5): - So much more to Lolas than you would think. Great accommodation with a fully equipped kitchen and beautiful interior decoration
- Christopher (2/5): Treated like trash - Even though everyone had a smartphone no one offered to translate as I did not speak Spanish so I was on my own with figurative translations on my own with a broken phone
- Christopher (2/5): Ouch - I was told because of the lack of disabled person necessities that I couldn't stay there anymore and that I would get a full refund and I still have not received a refund and now I don't have any money for staying anywhere else
- Jolnathon (10/5): - Property was very clean, centrally located and very safe.
- Behzad (4/5): - No parking, they charge me for parking for extra, no hot water for Shawer at all. No sign on front of hostel, I was suffering to find its place in 2:AM, even taxi driver had difficulties to find the address. The administrator of this place was very kind and helpful lady, but this place is nightmare, I will never rent this place again. All doors always locked up like a prison, some other guest always talking with phone loudly and annoying others.
- Samuel (10/5): Beautiful place in Barrio Chino - First night to start a Costa Rica trip. The hostel was a bit hard to spot since there is no sign but I had saved it on Google Maps. The neighborhood is a bit quiet/dodgy at times but the entrance is more than safe. Decoration inside is beautiful, art-deco style and the host is very friendly.
- Rafael (10/5): - .
- norita (10/5): - Superb staff & neighborly collaboration. Perfect location for shopping, eating, transportation, very safe location. I will definitely stay at Lolas when im in San Jose. I love the hostess Dila, she was available for any questions you may have.
- YU TONG (8/5): - There was no one onsite when I arrived a little past 5 (reception off at 5pm), I had no internet (no place to buy SIM card nearby) and a lady across the street helped me to call but no one answered. It got me a bit worried being in San Jose after dark; wish entry instruction was communicated beforehand. Eventually I got in contact with the owner and the night shift staff onsite, Dyla, was AMAZING! The place is clean but no window in the room except for an opening towards the hall. I saw no one in the building, with the lights off and doubled-gated entrance, it was kind of spooky. It is close to bus stations and being on this street (and this street only) is safe so I still recommend to stay at Lolas.
- Mo (8/5): I got a clean bed and helpful service - Loication seems good. Although the area at night feels a little edgy. Finding the place and getting in was confusing despite having the address. I arrived at 8pm and it was very hard to understand where the hotel's entrance was due to no signage. Neighbours pointed me in the direction of the correct door, which was locked with no intercom or anything. But because the SIM card I bought at the airport mulfunctioned I was unable to get in touch with the hotel and have someone open the door. After calling out for a while, the housekeeper arrived and let me in. She was incredibly kind and helpful. The room was okay - clean double bed but no windows, except a little high one opening into the hallway. Curious story books positioned by the bed. Otherwise everything else was decent / adequate, including kitchen bathroom and balcony. It did feel slightly eerie that I never saw any other guests at the hotel, but I was there only for the night and it could be that there were only a couple of other guests.
- Sharleen (10/5): - Great stay at Lola’s during off peak season. We were right in the heart of the city, which is convenient but noisy! We stayed in the King Room, sadly the stove wasn’t working but that was okay. Dyla was super kind, helpful, and let us know about events that were going on during the day. My only concern was the noise. There are a few clubs/bars close by that play music and have people drinking and yelling so expect that- regular city living. Other than that, great stay & great host.
- Ruth (10/5): Loving it at Lola's! - Very comfortable and clean place. Nicely equipped kitchen and common room. Staff is super friendly and helpful.
- Veronique (8/5): - Good transit stop not too far from Tracopacr.com bus station
- Ethan (10/5): - Very awesome stay and super accommodating.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - My first trip to Costa Rica and San Jose was a success thanks to choosing Lolas as my place to stay. Its convenient walking street was very safe and convenient to museums, shots, and restaurants. There was an affordable garage around the corner, but I didn’t have a car. The facilities were pristine, with great common areas for congregating and dining. The responsiveness and level of service was incredible. I had a prove room, it was great. I really had such a wonderful time. I cannot recommend this place more highly. :) thanks!
- Jessica (10/5): - Dyla was so welcoming and amazing, really nice place close to the bus station for a good price
- Fabi (10/5): - Dila és muy simpática. Me recibió tarde y aún me espero. El lugar és hermoso dentro. Lindos colores, la cocina muy bien equipada y buenas camas y duchas.
- Melanie (10/5): - Lolas is decorated beautifully and is so adorable. It felt super safe as there were cameras everywhere and it was gated. The property is a 7 minute walk to the bus stop, and was the cleanest hostel I've ever stayed at. There wasnt AC but the fans kept it cool enough to sleep. The woman Dila was also so lovely & helpful. Thank you so much!
