Guest Reviews
- Ediarte (10/5): - Buena habitación e internet y buen servicio. Solamente paredes muy delgadas entre cuartos , pero es una muy buena opción
- Marc-Andre (8/5): - Notre chambre était spacieuse et avait les commodités annoncées. Il a été facile d’avoir une place de stationnement car nous étions en basse saison. Le buffet déjeuner est excellent et a de légères variations de jour en jour. Seul bémol, le coffret de sûreté de notre chambre était hors service et le coin cuisine avait beaucoup de petites fourmis. Nous avons dû prendre des précautions de ne pas y laisser de nourriture. L'hôtel est situé à côté d’un passage à niveau et les trains passent fréquemment, même la nuit.
- Naoko (8/5): - It was very noisy with people staying late at night. Neighbors' voices echoed very loudly.
- Greg (8/5): - We had a nice stay but the area around seems dangerous based on all the electric wires and fences and gates on all properties in the area. Breakfast was good and staff friendly and helpful. Rooms was clean. No A/C but windows offer a breeze but there is plenty of noise. Door to the room seemed flimsy and hollow with no extra lock, just door knob lock.
- Fabian (10/5): - Muy lindo el hotel, gran servicio, habitación cómoda
- Rafael (10/5): - Todo excelente
- Richard (10/5): - I stay there about 10 times a year. The property is in my opinion, the best in the San Pedro area. No worries about someone there stealing credit card identity as happened at a nearby hotel. I do wonder about employee turnover there.
- Marc (8/5): B- grade - Hotel staff were courteous, helpful, and professional...room was well-equipped, well-prepared, and fairly quiet...hot water in the shower was super..breakfast was good, but the packets of butter should have been refrigerated or iced, as the ones I used were rancid and odorous...my only strong criticism was the state of the carpet in the room -- it was filthy and it blackened the bottoms of our feet...dirty footprints were visible on the tile in the hallway and bathroom...I suggest a deep steam cleaning or total replacement of the carpet
- ALMA PAOLA (10/5): - Muy cercano a la Universidad de Costa Rica, que era mi motivo de visita. Los alrededores son un poco ruidosos, pero es por su cercanía a avenidas principales. El personal siempre muy amable y dispuesto a ayudar en lo que se necesita.
- Desiree (10/5): - We love staying at this location, excellent service, good people, very nice treatment.
- Jazmín (2/5): - No limpiaron la habitación, nunca nos cambiaron toallas ni papel, además a las 7.30 am ya no había desayuno y cuando reclamé no hubo respuesta. El personal es descortés y despreocupado. No regresaría.
- Fabian (10/5): - Nos sentimos como en casa Excelente servicio, habitación preciosa
- Antonio (10/5): - Todo muy bien
- Douglas (10/5): - Nice spacious room.
- Veronica (8/5): - Muy bien todo, el desayuno excelente
- Rodrigo (10/5): Great service - I arrived at 2 AM and I messaged them that I will be checking in late. They were very kind and wait for me until I arrived.
- Francisco (10/5): - Muy cómoda nuestra estancia en el lugar, especialmente porque nos quedaba cerca de la Universidad de Costa Rica (UCR)
- Nickolas (8/5): - This hotel seemed to be mostly well kept. They did not have AC which was a bit of a downside. The staff at the desk does not often speak English, although the manager/owner does, so be prepared to use your Spanish! Getting Uber is convenient and easy to do from the hotel. I had a shuttle that left to my next destination at 2:00pm on check out day, but the hotel did not allow for late checkouts. They were willing to keep my luggage though while I waited. They allowed me to wait at the property. The maids are extremely friendly. There is no restaurant in the hotel and the nearest restaurant is Taco Bell, less than a block away. I kept missing out on breakfast because their breakfast ends pretty early in the morning. I swore the sign in sheet said it went until 9:30am, but by 9am breakfast was already cleaned up. They have a really good coffee/cappuccino machine if you want coffee and it is $1 per cup.
- Ezequiel (10/5): - Excelente experiencia.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - La ubicación me fue muy conveniente. La limpieza y comodidad muy buenos. Es amplio y comodo. No tiene aire acondicionado (pero no hizo falta), el agua caliente no era estable y no vi manera de controlarla. Lo más relevante es un tren que pasa det ras del hotel. Empieza a pasar como a las 6am y termina de pasar a las 10pm. El desayuno es algo tradicional del país. En general esta bien.
- Ana (10/5): - cumplió con mis espectativas
- Chris (10/5): - Staff was excellent and very accommodating and having parking in the garage was a bonus. The free breakfast was outstanding, I actually stayed there two days and Costa Rica
- Linda (10/5): - We loved this quaint little place. Everyone was so helpful and friendly. The breakfast each morning was great.
- Christian (10/5): - Excelente atención, delicioso desayuno, excelente habitación
- Mehrdad (10/5): Great location and very nice property - We had a amazing time. Two nights stay great place with friendly staff. Definitely will go back again.
- Christina (10/5): - Good service and communication, nice breakfast, big comfortable rooms.
- Oscar (10/5): - Tiene habitaciones completas y muy cómodas.
- Priscilla (10/5): - 😊
- Ernst Roland (10/5): - Schönes Hotel mit kompetenten englischsprechenden Receptionisten. Während der Woche laute Störungen durch sehr nahe vorbeifahrende Züge.
- Randy (10/5): Bien - La experiencia fue buena.
- RODOLFO (10/5): - La hospitalidad, los servicios , la alimentación fue extraordinaria, el sistema de despertador en la mañana muy eficaz y novedoso....excelente. Agradecido a todos
- Charles (10/5): - The ataff at this older building made the visit very comfortable. Its an older, clean, well maintained hotel. It’s great to have free laundry facilities. The breakfast was variable. If you like eggs, request them. Hotel transfers are arranged not included. My taxi to the airport was not comfortable. Again a friendly outstanding staff Muchas Gracias
- Jessica (10/5): - Extremely clean with accommodating personnel!
- Mauricio (10/5): - Excellent
- Gene (10/5): - The staff are very attentive and helpful .it was a big help after a long journey .
- Jessica (10/5): - Friendly people :)
- Jessica (10/5): - Awesome staff ❤️
- thomas gene (10/5): - It is a very nice hotel with an excellent manager and staff. Nice area.
- jairo (2/5): - I called the reception at midnight and asked them to please stop the scandal that was on the first floor and in several rooms on the second floor. At 12:30 I personally went down and they knew who I am when I get angry. Never again in this place, it looks like a student canteen.
- Michael (6/5): - Staff was very polite and helpful room was very clean security parking was good the continental breakfast needs a little more love very limited very limited but overall the rest of the place was awesome
- Richard (10/5): - Hotel staff do not have good command of English, but they are very polite, helpful. If you speak Spanish, it is even better.
- Richard (10/5): - Hotel staff are polite and helpful. Breakfast area was decorated quaintly for Christmas season.
- Verified traveler (8/5): A short stay!!!! - Covid-19 protocol was carried out to detail with spraying the bottoms of our shoes. The hotel needs some cosmetic attention. It is nice that it has an elevator. Breakfast was totalling disappointing. Not the typical Costa Rican breakfast, not quite continental either, it needs improvement.
- Richard (8/5): - The lobby, breakfast area was classic and very nice. Kitchenette was sufficiently equipped with small refrigerator, microwave, gas burners, sink. Water is clean and potable. Bed was made, towels replaced, room cleaned daily. Costa Rica has tiny ants everywhere. If you leave food out, they will find it.
- james (4/5): Paper thin walls, no privacy and no AC - I could here my neighbor talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone. How do I know it was his girlfriend? I could hear her responding to him through his earpiece.. not in the speakerphone cause that would be as loud s him.. I could hear everything. Often at 1:30 in the morning when he's arrive he'd play the clock ready for music. Every night without reading my voice, as if speaking to someone sitting next to me, if say.. "please turn that off, it's late" and he could hear me, verbalize his acknowledgement, and turn it off. Zero privacy. No AC. Loud traffic starting every morning at 5am along with the train horn walking everyone up. Needless to say rest was an issue Nice people behind the desk.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Nice hotel; three minutes walk to the University campus. But you should know that one side of it faces railway tracks and is a bit noisy. That is why rooms on that side are cheap. For extra $30, they moved my to the opposite quieter side of the building. They provide transportation from the airport ($30). By taxi or Uber you can get from it everywhere.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - Good human relationships. The diversity in the breakfast menu to accommodate vegetarian and vegan diet could be improved though
- Genaro (10/5): - Excellent service and attention, comfortable rooms. I did not like the mattress and the noise of the train, for the rest excellent experience.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Busy weekend - We wanted a kitchen and for that it was good. The breakfast was a cold buffet where elsewhere in Costa Rica you get a good cooked breakfast, but we had the kitchen. I'd stay again
- Frederick (10/5): Most friendly stay! - The staff were kind accommodating and arranged everything that we needed. Super!
- Verified traveler (6/5): Nice and comfy hotel - If you are planning to stay near San Pedro this is a very nice ans comfy hotel.
- S (8/5): - Very convenient for Univ Costa Rica access; market
- Serge (2/5): Very basic - Very basic outdated hotel. The room was lacking basic necessities and charm. No mini bar, no wifi, toiletries. The bed was very small and uncomfortable with a horrible thin blanket that you would find at your grand mothers house. Wouldn't stay here again because there are lots of better hotels in the area for the same price and much better equiped. The service was excellent and the area is also great. Thank you
- Erin (8/5): Lovely neighbourhood, lovely hotel - This is the perfect place to stay if you know San Jose a little bit. You are right in San Pedro with easy access to the rest of the city via public transportation. Nice restaurants are all within walking distance as is the pleasant campus of the University of Costa Rica. The campus is a great place for a run too! I like the fact that all rooms have kitchenettes too!
- bari devaya (10/5): Yoga training - Excellent Great easy walking every where In San Pedro y los Hoses
- Verified traveler (4/5): Loud stay - I booked this hotel for a 10 hour stay, we needed a place to hang out until our plane left late at night. The staff was great, the room was not so great. I am very glad we only stayed a few hours. The train was so frustrating, there was no napping there. Also the smell of the room wasn't pleasant.
- Ed (10/5): Comfortable hotel, great location, fantastic staff - Work related trip; was able to get everything done. The staff was extremely helpful with transportation needs.
