- Zámbó (8/5): - Very friendly, helpful staff members. Located by the main road, the rooms are extremely noisy. Paper thin windows, the traffic is pretty heavy all day.
- Liv Elin (5/5): -
- Josue (10/5): -

- carlos renato (7/5): - O hotel é bastante antigo, mas muito bem localizado, perto do centro histórico, restaurantes e mercados.
- Guest (5/5): -
- solano marin (10/5): - Absolutamente todo, la atención, el lugar, la cercanía a los lugares que nosotros íbamos. No hay queja alguna al contrario iríamos nuevamente a hospedarnos a este bello hotel
- Villegas (9/5): - La ubicación, desayuno Cama muy pequeña
- Gary (7/5): Good hotel for the price. - Francisco and another lady who worked at the front desk were very helpful. Floors in room were very dirty. My feet were black after walking barefoot.

- Rene (8/5): -
- Niluben (5/5): - Location Expensive
- Marlene (7/5): - Staff friendly
- Graciela Esther (8/5): Agradecida - El lugar donde esta hubicado, cerca de buses, de restaurantes, bancos, de parques Habitación al lado del elevador
- Juan (6/5): -
- Durman (10/5): -
- Barbara (9/5): Amicable - The staff was very nice
- Rosa (8/5): -
- Ludwig (5/5): Zu teuer für die Zimmer und das Frühstück - Personal war sehr freundlich. Das Frühstück war nicht auf dem Niveau eines Hotels, das 80 US Dollar pro Nacht kostet. Wenn man das vierte Bild ganz groß zoomt, sieht man, dass in dem alten Kühlschrank im Frühstücksraum ein Rasierer liegt!!
- Eileen (7/5): Very friendly and helpful staff. - The room had 2 windows which opened only to the air conditioning system. Better to pay the extra $10 to get a room with window facing south (north faces a busy street)
- Takeshi (5/5): -
- Jean (10/5): Excelente - La ubicación. Todo bien.
- Javiera Del Socorro (8/5): Muy bien - La amabilidad del personal N/A
- Ofelina (8/5): - Me gusto la atención del personal por brindar información
- Katharine (5/5): Disappointing - Location was what we needed for pick up for a trip the following day We arranged,a month prior to our stay, to leave our cases to go on a 2 day trip. This was confirmed by the hotel twice, by email prior to our stay. Upon arrival we checked again and were told this would be fine. At 6am we went to reception to leave our cases and were categorically told that this was not possible. This spoiled our onward plans.
- Yen (4/5): Not friendely! Will never come back - Nothing
- jairo (1/5): Muy mala experiencia. - Nada La habitación tenía pelos x todos lados el recepcionista pésimo servicio.
- Luis Esteban (10/5): -
- andres (4/5): - La recepción amplia No informan al huésped de los eventos antes de reservar. Yo reserve ahí para ir a un evento en la disco mood a dos cuadras. Y llegue con tiempo, me cobraron la estadía y no me informaron en el momento que por motivo de la maratón san José 2025 iban a cerrar las calles de las 10pm hasta el siguiente día a las 11.30am y yo necesitaba viajar de regreso tipo 5 am y no iba poder salir esa hora por los cierres.
Y entonces NO me hospede y perdi el dinero de la estadía y las entradas del evento. Porque no fui.
- David (7/5): - Location near the bus station and price Noisy location

- Iris (6/5): REGULAR...opción solo para emergencias.. - Ubicación Muy poca agua en la ducha, prácticamente gotitas..💧💧💧💧
Área de ducha sumamente pequeña e incómodo!
Extractor del baño NUNCA FUNCIONÓ! por lo que se impregnaban los olores y el vapor ..
- Kattia (10/5): Seguridad - tranquilidad

Buena ubicación.
Aparcamiento interior grande y cómodo.
Buen desayuno por el precio. Se cae a trozos.
Muchísimo ruido, el cristal a la calle es simple, no doble, y las puertas son de chapa. Mejor habitaciones interiores..

- Ed (8/5): Very good -
- Leeane (2/5): Very poor - The only good thing about the hotel was it was located close to our clinic I was attending other than that I would never recommend it to anybody it's very sketchy the bed was like a rock! No real fire escape The beds the linens the towels the ambience
- Lucia (5/5): Passable - Friendly staff. Very kind and polite The pictures on the Internet don't match the reality. It was an ugly and old bedroom, no natural light.
- Allie (4/5): Disappointing - It took 30 minutes for the front desk lady to meet us at the door to let us in (after pushing the doorbell several times). When she finally did let us in, the check in process took another 30 minutes.
- Tomaso (1/5): Bad -
- Oscar (7/5): Good -
- Karsten (8/5): Only short stay - arrived late evening around 23:00 and left the following morning at 07:45. - The breakfast was about the best we received during our stay in Costa Rica.
Close to Offroad Costa Rica motorcycle / car rental. High level of street noise during the night - hard to sleep - and quite cold until I found the extra blankets ;o)
- Allan (6/5): Firstable in the kitchen they didn’t have large spoons, just the teaspoons and they really know that in Costa Rica must - They were polite, housekeeping was good First thing that i didn’t like was as soon as arrived to the hotel the lady from the front desk round up the amount on the hotel fauvor.
- Yixin (10/5): Exceptional - Location, near Tica bus station. Friendly staff took care of our suitcases while we were out of town. Good breakfast. Room is noisy if facing the street
- Yixin (9/5): Superb - Friendly staffs. We left our credit card in the room when we checked out by accident. Afterwards, we asked the hotel if they saw it. They replied that yes and kept the card for us to pickup when we came back again a few days later. Many thanks for it They also let us to stay in a room that is not facing the busy street on our second stay. The location and breakfast were very good for us too. Rooms were big and clean. Rooms facing the street could be noisy in early morning.
