Guest Reviews
- Maria Fernanda (10/5): - Fue excelente la atención del staff y una buena relación precio-calidad, solamente que es un poco ruidoso
- Noemi (8/5): - Nice for sleep one night
- jose (2/5): - I can't believe this property has ratings = 4 stars. :( Bad property, bad breakfast, bad equipment. SAD :( RUN!
- Kean (10/5): - Tiffany is so helpful for trip suggestions for local and nearby city like San Jose and Catargo. She help us find place for dilicious food, souvenir store, and place for coffee form CR. She also provide price info so we are assured. With affordablenprice, this place is 3 blocks away from market, central sqaure, and 5 blocks from bus station to San Jose. You can also take the bus to airport.
- Heather (10/5): - Very nice
- Yvan (4/5): Not a good choice - Find something else if you can...
- Denise (6/5): - My room's only window was to the hallway which felt unsafe for a female solo traveler and the lamp didn't work and was CAKED in grime and there wasn't any toilet paper in the bathroom. Wouldn't stay again.
- Ruth Laurie (8/5): - The hotel was fine. We only stayed one night, as an airport stay, after we landed, but we will stay there again on our way flying out of Costa Rica. Convenient, clean, good price, nice people, no problems.
- Joshua (4/5): - I stayed there for one night. Firstly the room has only a fan that barely works so the room is like a sauna. Also the sheets and pillow cases were all stained with blood and yellow stains which I found disgusting. Also don't rely on the breakfast, it's obviously a way to just chargre more without quality food. For the money we paid we could definitely find a better place.
- Cornelius (10/5): - Had everything needed. Close to the airport no issues. Parking is on the street
- Karen (6/5): - It was just a very simple place with not a lot of extras. We had no hand towel for the sink but there was a wash cloth hanging--wasnt sure if it was clean or not....but did have a few towels for the shower. The staff was amazing and communicated well prior to our arrival and were waiting for us when we arrived after midnight after our plane was delayed 3 hours. They were very helpful and welcoming. Breakfast was included and simple but delicous.
- Jim (8/5): Good budget hotel - Very friendly and helpful staff, a good budget hotel close to SJO Airport. Nothing fancy but a good value.
- Daniel (6/5): - The staff were very kind.
- Richard (10/5): - Nice quiet clean
- Luis Bladimir (10/5): - 👍
- Carlos (2/5): - Place is not what they state on pictures , besides that I try to cancel but your damn system does not allowed so I had to pay for a different Hotel and swallow the loss . i won't recomend Hotels and expedia at all in the FUTURE
- Terence (10/5): - it was very clean and everything you needed. It was in the room awesome.
- Layla (2/5): - Property is not as described nor located where indicated. Too dangerous and not local to the airport
- Jenny (8/5): Great for the Airport - Tiffany on the desk was brilliant, so helpful and her English was amazing, as was the young man who was there as well. Tiffany sorted a taxi for us and was so helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.
- Nicolas (10/5): - Great
- Lloyd (10/5): - Met wonderful people
- Jeannette (10/5): - Great spot to stay when either arriving to San Jose or getting ready to leave the country. Some one at the desk 24/7. Will definitely stay again when traveling to Costa Rica!
- Jeri (10/5): - Very nice and friendly staff. Room was clean and fit two adults and two kids. Hot shower. Could of used more shampoo for four people.
- Ronald (10/5): - Great place!!!
- Nicolas (10/5): - The staff was awesome Tiffany and john helped me out alot thank you both

- SATOSHI (10/5): - verry good staff!! everything perfect,
- Jennifer (10/5): Nice staff and clean place. - Great stay, clean and organized.
- Janice (10/5): - Super-friendly staff, good restaurants nearby, great breakfast included. We have stayed here often!
- tammie (8/5): - This is not the marriott but i enjoyed my stay. its clean and cozy. The staff are very nice and helpful. I was well taken care of by John and victoria. I ended up with a stomach flu, soon after i checked in. I was grateful with the support and care i received. I feel i was in a much warmer, caring environment then if it was in a big name hotel. It’s close to the airport. lots of shopping, restaurants and bars and pretty much almost whatever you need. Thanks again, for your hospitality. It may not be fancy, but i will return.
- Ana Luisa (6/5): - El primer día no nos informaron que nos habian hecho una mejora en la habitación, por lo que el segundo día no sabía que realmente era otra la adquirida en la cual había que compartir baño. El desayuno estuvo rico.
- robert (8/5): - would definitely stay there again
- Pablo (2/5): - I couldn't stay in this place since when they gave me the room it was contaminated with cockroaches.
- Nery (10/5): - Great customer service and attention to details... My family greatly appreciated the friendly environment.
- Anthony (10/5): - Perfect room, private bathroom with hot water shower, fast internet, kitchen area, secure and charming. Very professional and friendly staff. Perfect central location surrounded by restaurants, stores, bars and parks. Five minute taxi to the airport for $8. Easy five star review for this excellent place.
- isabel (10/5): - Everything was absolutely excellent
- Mark (2/5): - Booked a room with window and private bath. Checked in paid and was taken to a small room with no window and shared bath. I have stayed at the Pacande multiple times over 15 years and have never been treated this way. Pacande has changed in the last couple years for the worse. Will not recommend or stay here any more. Better hotels are a available for same price in the area.
- duvall (10/5): - Great place to stay. Some amenities missing but great staff and breakfast
- Ramesh (10/5): - We stayed here one night. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. Good breakfast. walking distances to shops.
- Astrid (8/5): - Very welcoming and hopeful staff. We stayed here after arriving in San Jose at midnight. Somebody was waiting for us at the door with a smile, and served us a sweet breakfast in the morning. Great place.
- Verified traveler (4/5): - I wouldn’t recommend for more than one night. The white comforter was dirty from both beds. Loud night noise coming from the kitchen and also from street. Location is sketchy at night good food options nearby.
- Bryan (2/5): - This is a really bad Hotel located in the worst country I have traveled to. This Hotel needs to be shut down.
- Emily (8/5): - The family rooms were great for our family. Thank you.
- Shauna (10/5): - Nice little place to stay for a few days while exploring San Jose. We called it our treehouse. Very close to everything, staff is very kind and helpful. Great bakery just around the corner to pick up amazing goodies. Lovely breakfast at the hotel in the am. They will arrange a shuttle to and from the airport for you. $20USD for our group of 5. $10USD for the way back to the airport!the beds were clean. The only complaint I do have is that our bathroom didn’t feel clean at all. Otherwise, we loved it.
- Kate (10/5): - This place just feels nice. The staff made sure we had a shuttle from the airport. I felt very taken care of. The rooms are comfortable and well decorated. I will be staying here again.
- Jyothi (10/5): - We stayed one night—clean & big room. Daniel arranged the shuttle service from the airport, the driver was good and Daniel ordered dinner from a restaurant for us. Good breakfast. Great place to stay near SJO!
- Prakash (10/5): - That the were two floors and the room was in good condition
- David (6/5): - For the price and the location, this place is just average. It is only a ten minute Uber ride or 8.oo by red taxi. I liked staying here because it was so close to the airport and only a 7 minute taxi back to the rental car area to get a car. The breakfast was good and the staff are all kind, but the area around here is kind of sketchy. There are bars on all the windows and it makes one feel unsafe, but this hotel only has one way to get in, and they keep it secure. We felt safe here once inside, but walking around outside was done with caution, but then again, your in San Jose, so everywhere feels sketchy.
- Michael (8/5): - The pool
- Nery (8/5): - The breakfast area was lovely
- David (10/5): - Centrally located. A bit of heavy traffic getting to the El Centro, but close to the airport. Breakfast is included at a VERY reasonable cost for the entire stay.
- May (10/5): - Nice room, nice staff, nice location. Walkable to parks, stores, restaurants, markets, bus stations,.. The kitchen has microwave, electric kettle and other things.
- timothy (10/5): Clean small hotel - Very helpful clerk's. Great airport pickup. Nice breakfast.
- Robert (8/5): - A small place with a fluent English speaking friendly young person
- Pamela (10/5): - The lovely staff are what make this property so special. Very helpful and accommodating. They take the time to explain everything to you. Breakfast was a delicious traditional Costa Rican breakfast of eggs, rice & beans, coffee, fruit.
- Kimberly (10/5): - Close to airport and staff were very nice. Good value.
- Gregory (10/5): - Tiffany & her boyfriend were wonderful hosts! My daughter & I only stayed one night as our plans took us to Quepos the day after arriving, but that short stay was memorable because of these two!
- Jing (6/5): - When we checked in, only one staff was working there. He was extremely busy. Our check-in took too long. Whole night the noise around never stopped.
- Ginney (10/5): - Staffs were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. I had a room in the back yard so it waS very quiet. The heat was not brothered us at all. Overall. I would rate it 9/10.
- mark (4/5): - no atm, no coke machine, no ice machine, no coffee
- Sarah (10/5): - The staff were wonderful and welcoming. The area around the hotel was ok. Nothing open by 10pm. We had a king bed and our own bathroom. The bed was decent. The breakfast was wonderful cooked by the staff fresh!
- Juan Jose (4/5): - I didn’t do enough research before I booked this room. It was VERY small, about 8x12 and you had to share a bathroom. No AC It seemed clean enough and the staff was nice. We ended up leaving and staying at another hotel.
- Maxine (6/5): - The staff were lovely and super helpful. San Jose is not my place of choice and the pictures were was a true representation of the room I stayed in. But it was clean just in need of some tlc.
- Amy (10/5): - ¡Servicio increíble! ¡Habitación muy limpia!
- James (10/5): - The host were gracious and for breakfast they knew by the second day I like my coffee black. Good going staff
- Verified traveler (10/5): - I love that is family owned. The owner and her children were super nice! Breakfast was amazing! Love the stay
- Joyce (10/5): - Economical, comfortable, authentic Costa Rican B&B hotel in the heart of Alajuela. Breakfast was great, staff were very friendly and helpful. Travelers should note that the private bath with 2-3 bed rooms are upstairs.
- Maciej (8/5): - Good area and close to the airport
- Fernanda (10/5): - Property was clean and safe.
- Pablo (2/5): - We got lost of the way to the hotel. Getting there closer to 11pm, the staff was no where to be seen
- Stephen (10/5): - Friendliness
- Eduard (10/5): - Family run business with very friendly owners and a very peaceful nice location.
- Saville (8/5): - The check in staff were welcoming and professional - the location was fine - but not well lit from the street so we passed it a couple of times before we recognized it. The room itself was what we expected - except there were two windows that looked into the next room and hallway. We did have curtains but they should have been black out shades. The breakfast we TERRIFIC.
- Pat (10/5): - staff went out of their way to help me
- Beth (10/5): - The room was modest but comfortable and just as expected. The desk receptionist/hotel attendent was extrememly helpful and friendly. When we checked in he went out of his way to arrange a taxi for the next morning, to help us find food, and generally make us feel at home. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
- Alexander (10/5): - The family of the hotel is very nice and helpful
- Jose (6/5): - The breakfast was very poor I did not the bathroom we need to share
- Martha (6/5): Great attendant but never again - The attendant was great but will not stay again. The hotel is very small, one main room with big bed and no space to move and traveling with 3 others made it for a very uncomfortable stay. The loft had three twins but you couldn't stand without hitting your head, the metal spiral staircase was scary as heck, there was no AC, only one small light in shared space, hotel is old, and in the center of town was the worst idea, was a nightmare to unload on the street, with major traffic and then try to find a "public parking," lot as there is no dedicated space, we checked out before breakfast soooo
- DARWIN DELBIN GUILLEN (10/5): - Nice staff at the hotel. No parking space available but am affordable public parking near by.
- Joel (10/5): - Only stayed a day so not much to say, it was a very pleasant experience and the staff were quite helpful with directions.
- Mark (10/5): Good stay - Good stay. Great staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Floor in Hotel just needed a quick mop but everything was nice. Felt Safe and at home.
- Richard R. (10/5): - Family owned, Very helpful.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - This place is a super cute family owned hotel . Amazing service super kind and friendly staff . Daniel went above and beyond to help me on my trip as I arrived very late around 1am but he was there to greet me with a smile and great service ! The breakfast served in the morning was perfect and much needed after a night of long travels. Thank you to the staff of this hotel and I would highly recommend staying here to anyone flying in to San Jose for the price and the hospitality was 5 stars and super comfortable beds as well !!!
- Jack (8/5): Unique stay with character - Unique hotel. Basic amenities. Mentions that hair dryers are available upon request, but they didn't have one when my wife needed one. Nice to find a place with rooms with multiple beds. My kids loved the hotel and its' uniqueness. Delicious breakfast was included in the stay and has a nice eating area in a covered outdoor eating area.
- Verified traveler (2/5): - Had reservations to stay at the hotel. Unable to contact them by phone days prior to arrival, arrived at 8 p.m. no one was there no one would answer the Bell. Went to the hotel next door and the guy said that the place had been like that for months. He tried to call and get ahold of someone, after two or three calls you got a hold of a woman who came and brought me a key, she told me to let myself out in the morning and put the key back through the door slot. No staff would be on site all night long. I did not stay there stayed next door. Lost my payment. This place used to be a great place to stay, would never recommend now.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice place, but do not use hotels.com - This place was great, but I would not recommend Hotels.com. I booked an earlier hotel and when I got their and the hotel was no longer in operation, it was a nightmare dealing with hotels.com. A pushy person who spoke broken English called to sell me ANOTHER hotel, but refused to give me my money back. I am realizing hotels.com is a racket.
- John R (8/5): - Simple and clean. My single room was quite small, but comfortable and inexpensive. Great for a single night stay after a late flight arrival, or before an early flight departure.
- Diane (8/5): Good in a tight budget - It was very basic but clean. Staff was very nice and helpful. Had to leave before breakfast so unable to comment.
- Klara (8/5): - Small little place, took 10 minutes in pouring rain before they let me in the door. Staff was a bit rude at first but when leaving they were very helpful with transport and tips. Breakfast was some fruit, bread, coffee and cereal which was okay. Room was smaller and darker than expected but clean. Shared bathroom was clean. Overall a good experience, although a little bit expensive for this type of hotel.
- Patricia (6/5): - I satyed one nigh in this basic hotel and in the morning voke up with bedbug bites all over my arms and back. Would not recommend
- Verified traveler (2/5): - could not call the place and could not find it either. They only allow checkin from 2-3 and they do not answer their phone to arrange for another time. I had to get another hotel for the night. Do not recomment this property.
- Jennifer (10/5): Sweet little Hotel - We got into San Jose very late and called the hotel to make sure it wouldn't be too late to check in. The owner assured us it was fine. When we got there she helped my husband with a place to park and helped us get settled. She was obviously tired as we were quite late however she was very sweet and made us feel welcome. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast in the morning was fresh and served in a beautiful indoor/outdoor dining area that is two levels and decorated beautifully. We enjoyed it very much. I would definitely recommend Hotel Picande for a stay in San Jose.
- Joseph (8/5): Pacande - It was what you would get for the price!
- Jan (6/5): noisy hotel - The facilities are fine and the staff member I met was friendly and helpful, but the hotel is very noisy at night. People were talking at loud decibel at 3am and I could hear them easily. As it is a hotel close to the airport, people are coming and going at early hours and the noise is not muffled at all.
- Zeb (8/5): Convenient for Layovers - A perfectly good hotel when your flight gets in late or arrives early. While not fancy or strong on character, it does have very clean, reasonably comfortable rooms and a friendly staff. The only negative is that the neighborhood can be a bit noisy at times, but I didn't find that to be an issue. A good option at the price.
- laurie (2/5): Did not stay. - Looking for this hotel at 9pm on a Saturday was horrifying. The area seemed unsafe. We found the hotel, no parking, hookers, yelling drunks and decided to forego our money to find a hotel in a safer area. It was a great decision. We found a place in a safer location.. I could not submit this review without the ratings. Since we did not go in or actually stay some of the ratings are unfair. I apologize for that.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The staff were all very nice. The receptionists in the evening speak English.
- Simon (10/5): Great cheap hotel near the airport - I went with my father during the low season. We were alone in the hotel and the owners left us with the keys of the building. They were very nice and accommodating. The woman spoke English and the man helped us practice our Spanish. Free WiFi and great, free, filling breakfast. Lot's of nice restaurants around at around 8usd $ a plate. Only low point is the neighborhood that looked pretty run down. Would still recommend.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Good not great - I paid $56 and I guess it was ok but not overall worth it. You can't enter or exit as you please (staff had to let me in and out of the building). The locks on the room doors can only be locked and unlocked by metal key on both sides too. Breakfast was edible but not good. It looks like the staff and ownership are trying, but need to address those and couple of other issues before I'd consider going back. On the plus side though-the location is pretty great. It's a close walk to everything downtown. The area around the hotel seemed pretty safe, even at night. Near the cathedral and Central Park, shopping, bars; everything downtown. It's easy to find a quick cheap taxi to the airport 2 blocks away. Reception offered to call me a cab for Thursday when I checked in. Every single staff person was friendly and accommodating. OK/Good overall in my opinion.
