Guest Reviews
- Verified traveler (8/5): Ideally located hotel close to bus stations - Well located hotel in the city. After closure of the shops streets empty in 15 mins time. Comfortable bed and shower for a good night's sleep. Friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Only about 3 blocks from bus terminals Mepe and 7-10 but pretty seedy area.
- CLAUDIA LIVIER (6/5): Paredes muy delgadas, se escuchaba todo. - El lugar es limpio y tiene buen trato, sin embargo las paredes de la habitación son tan delgadas que se escucha totalmente las conversaciones de la otra habitación. Fue imposible dormir por bien rato.
- Mary (10/5): - Very accessible to the bus, restaurants and things to do downtown. Very quiet. The young that always check us in is very accommodating.
- José Raúl (6/5): No lo recomiendo - Es un hotel muy básico, el barrio es inseguro cuando oscurece, desayuno regular, cama incómoda, pagué una habitación con terraza y era un patio muy pequeño donde desemboca la ventana del baño de otra habitación, por ende se escuchaban los ruidos del huésped de al lado haciendo sus necesidades.
- CarlosCastano (4/5): Malo el hotel. - No lo recomiendo, el cuarto que me asignaron tenia mal olor.
- Sanjiv Kumar (6/5): Debe mejorar - Este Hotel es Bueno Pero Nesecita un retoque
- Michelle (10/5): - El lugar muy cómodo, con buen desayuno y amable el personal
- Flavio (8/5): Bom custo benefício - A recepção e atenção da funcionária foram o destaque. Não é muito bem localizado. O quarto que ficamos dava pra rua e teve barulho a noite toda de gente passando e falando. Mas é bem limpo, com camas confortáveis. Valeu o custo benefício.
- Julio César (10/5): - Excelente servicio y muy atentos.
- Cinthia (10/5): AGRADABLE ESTADIA - Me fue muy bien, me sentí muy cómoda y muy bien atendida por Grace y por Juan Miguel (quien fue por mi al aeropuerto! Sólo pase una noche en el hotel y al día siguiente parti temprano y no alcance a desayunar y Grace fue muy amable de poner en unas bolsitas frutica y galletitas. En general muy bueno el trato y la atención!
- Michael (10/5): Perfekt! - Eine überraschend schön gestaltete Unterkunft in Stile eines Boutique-Hotels mit großer, möblierter Terrasse. Das Personal ist ausgesprochen freundlich.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - It is one of the gem in Costa Rica. The location is excellent. They also include free breakfast and hot shower.
- Mamamia (10/5): - Communication from hotel was very prompt and reliable. For my midnight arrival they aoocmodated my airport transportation and the driver went out of his way to get me colones in the middle of night as the airport ATM didn’t work.
Sketchy neighborhood but for $35 a night for my 5 hr sleep it’s more than what I expected.
- Belinda (8/5): - Muy limpio el cuarto, la zona no muy segura pero el personal muy atento y amable. En general cumplió con lo que pagamos.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - The hotel has a nice old fashioned feel with high ceilings, tiled floors and wooden banisters. The location makes for a peaceful nights sleep, with the occasional motorcycle noise from outside, or the doorbell being rung. The room was spacious and had an en-suite bathroom.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Very friendly staff. Breakfast was very good. Room was clean. What more could you want for the price!
- Amy (8/5): Quiet and near bus station to Caribbean coast - Very nice administration. Took uber from airport to this hotel because it was close to the bus station (called Terminal Atlantico Norte) for the Mepe buses that go to the Caribbean coast (Limon, Cahuita, Puerto Viejo, Manzanillo). No frills, but clean, comfortable, and convenient.
- Daniel (8/5): Service très aimable! - Excellente collaboration pour les excursions et très bon petit déjeuner. Service très aimable. Un peu loin du centre-ville.
- Linda (6/5): Ok. Hotel close to buss station - Ok Hotel. Staff does not speak english Only spanish
- Anthony (10/5): Satisfecho - En general todo estuvo perfecto, la habitación estuvo perfecta y el staff fue muy amable
- Timothy (8/5): San Jose bus stations - Very close b+b for major bus stations but unfortunately the local area is not so good.
The rooms are small but clean and comfortable. It run by a lovely family who are very helpful
- James (10/5): Great place in San Jose - Handy to the centre. Clean tidy great service and helpful staff. Value
- Fernando (10/5): - Muy acogedor, excelente desayuno, muy limpio y perfecta atención por parte del personal.
- Roman (8/5): - Sehr freundlich, auch bei später Anreise. Zimmer sauber und alles nötige da. Frühstück wunderbar mit ganz viel Liebe serviert!
- Erik (8/5): Bra övernattnings alternativ - Vi bodde där en natt. Fina små rum. Servicen var bra dock ingen engelska. Frukosten var god. Området var schabbigt och fick gå en bit tills man kom till Storgatan.
- Verified traveler (10/5): OK - Nice place, Sketchy neighborhood. Not close to museums.
- Fernando (10/5): Hotel muy acogedor - Primera vez que me hospedaba en el hotel y sinceramente quedé muy complacido en todo aspecto, por supuesto que lo recomendare muy bien.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Nice Basic Bed n Breakfast - Pretty basic bed and breakfast, not the best part of town but convenient. Within walking distance of the main San Jose bus terminal and a quick taxi ride to the airport. Friendly staff.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Personnel très accueillant et bienveillant vis à vis de ses clients
- Oscar (8/5): Bra boende - Bra boende nära busshållplatsen terminal 1-7 om man ska vidare till puerto viejo. Lite skumt område runt hotellet. Bra frukost, ägg med bacon och toast, kaffe, apelsinjuice, frukt.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Excelente atención - Muy buena atención, desayuno muy completo , buen hotel para estar San José un par de días . Cuartos limpios con lo básico y el internet funciona perfectamente donde estés , muy recomendable si vas a viajar por autobús por costa rica, estación 7 y 10 cerca
- Verified traveler (8/5): Pasar la noche - Buen hotel para estar de paso por SJ, Buena atención. Y desayuno
- Julie (10/5): Best value and clean!!! - I can't say enough positive about this place! Safe, clean , quiet! The beds were perfectly clean. The bathrooms were perfectly clean. I felt like I was staying at a family members home it was so safe and comfortable. The staff were sweet as pie. And the breakfast, it made the value portion of this hotel off the charts. If I am ever in San Jose again I will be staying here!
- Laura (10/5): Nice hotel close to bus stops. - This is a nice little hotel that is situated in an area that at night can be not-so-nice, but my family and I always felt safe in the hotel and sticking to the main street at sun-down. Plenty of food options close by. Basic but delicious breakfast. Rooms are small but very clean and extremely affordable. I have already booked my next stay.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Hotel Sura - Wonderful hotel for the price. Very clean and relatively spacious rooms with a delicious breakfast in the morning.
- Scott batres (10/5): good hotel - Great staff Grace was very nice and helpful nice room good breakfast excellent staff
- Nicolai (10/5): Great location, good value, - we stayed at Hotel Sure on our first and last night in Costa Rica. Conveniently located to the bus stations leaving for Caribbean and Pacific cities. Supermarkets and Sodas are nearby. Rooms were clean, staff is very friendly, breakfast is cooked to order which was really nice. Rooms stay cool, Wi-Fi works and you will have 2,3 American TV channels as well.
- Barbara (10/5): Hotel Sura, de Sao Josė - No one knows this hotel. There was no shuttle at the airport. When I finally got there, I was created by a warm smile. My bags were taken up. Room was modest. Bathroom was very clean. Breakfast was amazing. They let me leave my suitcase in the room while roamed the city while waiting on my shuttle
- Jose (2/5): bad experience - there is no free parking in this hotel , I called 1 day before arriving as the hotel states unfortunately when I arrive they asked me to leave my car in another place (on the street) just because the person I talked, did not inform it to the night shift guy.
- Richard (10/5): Good stay - Great breakfast and wifi. 10 minutes walk to Merced park. I had neighbours watching TV until 1am. The owner was very sympathetic but could not stop them and moved me to a quiet room the next day. Highly recommended.
- Rita (10/5): Great stay ! - Clean, comfortable,.cozy ! :-)
- Jaquelin (8/5): Clean, comfortable, and affordable city hotel - Based on some of the reviews I read I was worried about my reservation here. I should not have worried. Our room included a bathroom and our bed was very comfortable. Our room was cleaned everyday including new soap, towels, and all new bed linens including the comforter. We had bedside tables, a wardrobe, and a separate table for our bags. For a budget hotel in the city, I did not expect this. Each morning they cook you breakfast as well.
On our last day after we checked out we were booked on a tour and were told that the car could not fit our bags. The hotel told us they would hold our bags all day for us until we came back. They did not charge us even though we were technically no longer guests. Once we returned to pick up our bags and call a taxi, one of the women cooked us dinner while we waited (also at no charge). The staff and owners of this hotel are very kind, welcoming, and truly take time to get to know their guests.
The only thing that I would say about the hotel is the location. Other reviews talked about the location being unsafe and I can understand this especially if you would be out at night and alone. We did not have any issue with the area but we also usually returned around sunset and walked together. Like all major cities in all countries, there are some neighborhoods that are less safe than others. I would not let the area take away from how great this hotel truly is.
- Trevor (10/5): Great little hotel with amazing breakfast - Our flight landed at 10:30 so we had a late check in, they made sure staff was there to get us settled in after midnight. The room was cozy and perfect for our first night. Breakfast the next morning was amazing, fresh fruit, eggs, bacon and toast cooked to order! We will be staying here whenever we're in San Jose!
- carlos (2/5): Its not a hotel. Its a house!!!! - Black long hairs in bed. No shampoo. Sink faucet turns off every 5 seconds just like a public restooms. Very annoying. Very small barhrooms.
- Verified traveler (8/5): clean value - The B&B itself is very clean. We arrived late (1am) and someone was there to check us in. We were supposed to get three beds but there were only two. Due to the late hour, we just made it work. As a separate note, the drive from the airport is pretty far. Taxi drivers wanted $25 but Uber was about $10. We never would have found it ourselves at night and the Uber driver said the neighborhood was not good. Decent breakfast and we headed back toward the airport to pick up a rental car the next day. If you are just looking for an overnight before a flight this may not be the best choice but the motel itself is nice.
- James (6/5): Basic head-down overnighter before early bus. - Satisfactory for 1 night before 6am bus. The area was a bit rough and the hotel was ok inside but the room was small and cramped (we struggled to get suitcases in and get to the bathroom). The beds were uncomfortable and this made me think of a bad quality Brirish doss house c.1975! We didn't stay for breakfast.
- Verified traveler (8/5): It's everything a traveler on a budget needs - Breakfast was great and it's not far from the bus to Limon. Great staff, very thoughtful but the place isn't much to look at lol.
- Verified traveler (6/5): Not bad, good location. - We stay here just 1 night. We arrived San jose after 7pm, so we just need stay for just sleep. This hotel looks like hostel or motel, and bathroom was not clean, and sheets neither. But the staff was really kind, helpful, breakfast is included ( toasts, scrambled eggs, coffee, fruit, juice) and we love the location. It was really close to downtown just 10mins walk from hotel.
- JEAN (10/5): Good hotel in SanJose for good price - The hotel is located about 10minutes away from airport public bus terminal station. Few minutes away from downtown but eniugh far to be real quiet at might. No air conditioning but it is cool at night in San Jose therefore not required and quiet at night too.
We had to leave early the next morning arromd 6:15am and breakfast start at 7:00am but they come earlier just for us to prepare us a good breakfast early. We really appreacited the service.
