Guest Reviews

• Nicole (9/5): Perfekter Ort für unseren Start in den Urlaub - Tolles Gebäude in guter, sicherer Lage mit eigenem Parkplatz und einfachem, aber sehr leckerem Frühstück. Zimmer war sehr hübsch ausgestattet. Wir haben hier unsere erste Nacht in Costa Rica verbracht und werden für die letzte wiederkommen. Die Wände sind sehr dünn. Man hört den Nachbarn und die Straße schon sehr laut.
• Anna (7/5): - Bylo všude čisto, milý personál, moc dobrá snídaně. Super lokalita, kousek od letiště. Absolutně žádné soukromí, měli sme pokoj přímo u recepce. Sprcha v pokoji šílenost, všude tekla voda. Záchod taky přímo u postele.
• Carlos (9/5): Primera ves en Costa Rica - La ubicación y la habitación es pequeña pero acogedora
• Katia (10/5): Soggiorno top, da viaggiatrice solitaria -
• Valentina (8/5): -
• FRANCISCA (10/5): -
• MENDONÇA (7/5): Localização excelente com ótimas opções de restaurantes e cafés e proximidade dos pontos turísticos. - A localização é excelente, ótimos cafés e restaurantes próximos, além de ser possível visitar as atrações turísticas do centro a pé, para quem como nós gosta de caminhar. A hospedagem é muito linda e bem decorada, os espaços comuns são muito bonitos também. A equipe foi muito atenciosa. O cheiro do quarto estava muito ruim, provavelmente do ralo. O banheiro é muito pequeno, sem janela, dá uma sensação ruim ao usar. Acabamos confundindo o horário de café da manhã pois tinham duas placas, cada uma com um horário diferente. Mas a equipe compreendeu nossa confusão e nos atendeu prontamente.

• Giosue (10/5): -
• Selena (10/5): - La stanza spaziosa e pulita, colazione semplice ma buonissima,.zona tranquilla
• Enni (1/5): - Nice staff，very kind Too old， very inconvenient
• Margot (10/5): -
• Federica (8/5): Accogliente e centrale per una breve vacanza - Accoglienza eccellente. Colazione soddisfacente, camera grande, pulita e location centrale Abbiamo avuto solo un piccolo problema di comprensione per affittare una macchina, quindi magari essere ben chiari se volete fare questo. Aggiusterei le finestre delle stanze perché datate e si sente tutto
• Massimiliano (8/5): - Struttura accogliente in un quartiere tranquillo; a due passi da bar e ristoranti e 15 minuti a piedi dal centro
• Ines (6/5): Logement bien situé et jolie déco mais grosses nuisances sonores. - La décoration, l’accueil, l’emplacement, le parking inclus. Les nuisances sonores matin et soir (d’énormes coups de klaxon de trains à 5h du matin ou le soir jusqu’à 22h), pas de climatisation, pas de petit-déjeuner à emporter alors qu’il est compris dans le tarif (c’est dommage).
• Verena (9/5): - Schönes Quartier viele Restaurants, sichere Gegend in 30 Min zu Fuss im Zentrum. Frühstück etwas dürftig nur Pancake und Früchte
• HEIDI (8/5): - Excelente ubicación, cerca de cafeterías y resto hermosos. La casona muy linda y decoración bella La habitación muy linda pero no tenía ni aire acondicionado, ni ventilador, y ventana sin mosquitero, por lo cual era calurosa
• Lubomir (9/5): - The property was well maintained and clean. Staff was friendly and helpful. Area was nice in a good neighbourhood Bed was uncomfortable and the door to the bathroom was difficult to close. Sometimes had to wait 5 min. until there was hot water in the shower.
• Goor (9/5): -
• Britta (10/5): Best stay in San Jose - great atmosphere, garden in cosy city quarter - Wonderful atmosphere, old house, rooms are attractively furnished, nice garden, good breakfast, cosy surrounding with lot of restaurants and bars The rooms are quite different- small and big ones
• Fanny (8/5): Bien mais petit déjeuner léger - L’établissement est très bien décoré et accueillant Le petit déjeuné est un peu léger
• maïté (8/5): - Jolie demeure ancienne, belle deco La salle de bain mériterait une petite remise en état ( carrelage décollé), simple vitrage
• Elena (8/5): -
• Noel (10/5): Ubicación inmejorable - El hotel es un lugar excelente y muy acogedor, perfecto para descansar. Lo que más destacaría es su ubicación; está en un barrio súper seguro y rodeado de una variedad gastronómica increíble, ideal si te gusta salir a comer y explorar. Además, el personal es sumamente amable y estuvo atento a cada detalle durante toda mi estancia. ¡Sin duda lo recomiendo y volvería a hospedarme aquí!"
• marta (7/5): - Me encantó la casa convertida en el hotel con el patio la decoración. Personal dispuesto y amable. El barrio es tranquilo y muy agradable El baño era muy pequeño y con olor a húmedad por la cortina de ducha. Falta de limpieza en las lámparas, cabecero de la cama y filtro del extractor del baño.
• Joanna (10/5): - Nocowaliśmy tutaj dwukrotnie podczas naszego pobytu w Kostaryce. Pobyt po przylocie tak nam się podobał, że wybraliśmy to miejsce również na nocleg przed lotem powrotnym. Tak szybki powrót niech sam w sobie będzie już najlepszą opinią dla tego miejsca :) Przemiła obsługa, piękny wystrój, zielony dziedziniec gdzie można zrelaksować się od zgiełku miasta. Wszystko super!

• Sabine (10/5): -
• Ivan Roberto (6/5): O custo benefício foi adequado ao que se propõe. - O café da manhã era muito bom, o proprietário atencioso. O quarto com problemas: cama, roupa de cama, travesseiros, chuveiro não aqueceu tarde da noite, banheiro sem ventilação, havia um cheiro de esgoto perto da pia, o quarto que aparece na reserva era diferente do quarto que ficamos, segundo proprietário todos os outros estavam ocupados.
• Laura (8/5): -
• Maillard (8/5): - Petit hotel sympathique, parfait pour une escale. Très bon accueil, petit déjeuner excellent
• Marco Aurelio (8/5): -
• Tish Natashia (3/5): Looks great but the quality of experience was not good at all. It’s one of those that looks very good on photos but the - The location is central It’s well designed but the finishing touches aren’t there the quality of towels and bedding was horrible. My bathroom was stinky from drainage not working properly. The curtains did not close properly. Some windows was broken so the sound of the street was loud.
• Sam (8/5): Fijn verblijf voor 1 nachtje San José. Het ontbijt viel wat tegen - meer van verwacht. Verder mooi hotel met serene uits - Erg sereen, goede wijk in san jose en netjes. De bungalow is erg klein en vochtig.
• Rosa (7/5): Alles prima für ein zwischen stop oder am nächsten Tag nachhause fliegt! - Die Lage sehr entspannt und sicher! Man konnte draußen sitzen kleiner garten. Das die Bäder im Zimmer sind und keine Türen habe. das war sehr komisch hab ich so noch nie gehabt!
• ANNE (9/5): - Ancienne demeure de plus de deux cents ans. Très joli jardin. On a l'impression d'être à la campagne en plein centre-ville.
• Lucy (10/5): -
• sara (8/5): בסדר - המלון מקסים והמיקום מצויין, השירות וארוחת הבוקר טובים סידור החדר גרוע, אין מקום למזוודות ואין איפה לתלות מגבות או מדף לשים משחת שיניים מברשת שיניים וחבל
• Vania (10/5): Excelente estadía - La ubicación El parkeo No había aire acondicionado
• Shelly (8/5): -
• Sophia-Anna (8/5): -
• Patrick (7/5): -
• Patrick (7/5): - Wir waren 2 mal dort Anreisetag und Abreisetag. Zwei verschiedene Zimmer. Beide schön renoviert aber hier und da sind noch Spuren vor der Renovierung zu sehen. Frühstück war in Ordnung mit Kaffee und Früchten, leckers Knuspermüsli und Pancakes. Schön war, dass man auch im Garten frühstücken konnte. Sehr schöner Garten und man merkt nicht, dass man in der Stadt ist. Das man die Spuren sieht wie es vorher aussah Löcher in der Wand, gerissene Fliesen in der Badewanne ...... das ist schade. Könnte man optimieren. Für den Preis pro Nacht sollte man das noch optimieren.
• A.N. (8/5): Goed verblijf de eerste twee nachten om door te reizen - Het was gewoon goed, overal dichtbij restaurantjes op de hoek Niets, alles was prima
• Roberto (2/5): Muy incomoda y desagradable - La ubicación, la amabilidad del recepcionista para ayudarnos y la baranda de madera de la escalera Las habitaciones, nos mostró el recepcionista varias, tienen los servicios higiénicos en el mismo ambiente del dormitorio y el inodoro en uno, de ellas no tenía ambiente privado y los que tenían ambiente privado eran muy pequeños y claustrifobicos. La luz de fuera de la habitación ingresaba y perturbaba el poder descansar. Había mucho frío y no había con qué taparse.
• Adriano (9/5): Agradable y acogedora estancia. - Lo mejor del hotel es la ubicación, en pleno centro del barrio gastronómico de San. José -Escalante- y muy cerca de todas las actividades culturales, sociales y turísticas. Cómodo y agradable con un jardín acogedor. El desayuno podría ser mejor, más variado, más nacional, quizás. Mejorar el café.
• Felicitas (8/5): -
• Joanna (10/5): - Bardzo fajny, klimatyczny hotel, pięknie urządzony z uroczym gankiem, gdzie można zrelaksować wśród zieleni :) Pokój czysty, wygodny. Lokalizacja w dzielnicy gastronomicznej z dużą ilością knajp , rzut beretem od centrum miasta. Personel bardzo miły i pomocny . Jest parking dla samochodów. Smaczne, śniadanie . Fajna opcja na nocleg w San Jose.
• Barra (10/5): Super endroit, très bien, situé, calme et accueillant - L’emplacement était particulière particulièrement intéressant Je n’ai absolument rien à dire
• Kameron (3/5): The hotel was designed to prioritize looks over function - The hotel rooms look nice and the staff was very warm and welcoming. The rooms do not have air conditioning and all the doors are flimsy and don’t stay closed. The room had windows that did not close and did not have bug screens so we got eaten by bugs all night. The bathroom smelled like sewage. The WiFi was very slow. The rooms look nice but aren’t functional. There is nowhere to hang clothes, no safe, no fridge.
• Steven (10/5): Espectacular - Ubicación, instalaciones y personas Después de ducharme, el sifón tenía mal olor
• Noëlle (9/5): - L’amabilité des personnes à l’accueil, le parking, le beau jardin, la proximité de nombreux restaurants. Le petit déjeuner. Si vous aimez les pan cakes, vous serez comblés. Sinon…….

• Gardella (8/5): On recommande grandement cet hôtel sur San Jose - L’emplacement est top, quartier très sympa. La déco de l’hôtel aussi et son jardin magnifique La demoiselle à la réception est vraiment dévouée et très professionnelle. Parfois la wifi n’est pas linéaire, mais c’est un détail 😊
• Rebecca (9/5): Lush garden oasis - The Hotel interiors are beautiful. The room was really comfortable and the staff were so friendly. Super cool neighbourhood too It was a very slight odour from the drain in the bathroom and we had an issue with the toilet, but honestly, these didn’t attract from the stay in the slightest and we loved it here
• Firth (8/5): - Easy to find in a Great location in food district historical building with loads if character
• Katy (9/5): Great accommodation and loved the location - We really liked the neighbourhood and location of this hotel. There are lots of great coffee shops, restaurants and craft beer places close by. We also really liked the style of the casa and the decor of our room and the hotel overall was lovely. It was about a 20 minute walk into the centre of San Jose. The room was quite small for two adults however we stayed for only one night so it was fine. However the shower was cold and the toilet had difficulty flushing as the cistern took so long to refill. We reported to reception who said they would look into it.
• Jennifer (7/5): Pretty, but some things to iron out - It’s a beautiful converted house in a good location, and felt safe. The decor is chic and there are great restaurants and cafés steps away. The courtyard is beautiful and breakfast food was good. The brief interactions we had with the staff were great. We had the room right behind the front desk; it was not great. It had a door with glass panes and was right next to the bathroom so we heard people going in and out, and it was also next to the parking lot, so we were woken up by someone possibly dragging a garbage bin. The bed faced the exposed toilet and shower, and there was a window behind with a flood light on all night. (A curtain in front of the toilet could have easily been installed from the beams.) We had to repair the flush lever a few times, and I had a cold shower…and the coffee was super weak. All of these issues may have been specific to our room, and are easily remedied! They seemed to be working on the place, so perhaps we stayed in a period of transition. We had such a fabulous dinner, and because of the weak coffee, discovered an amazing café, so it was worth it in the end.
• Linda (10/5): - The hotel is a peaceful haven with a pretty garden. The staff were amazing and the breakfast was delicious. I would certainly stay here again and highly recommend it to others. Nothing. It was excellent
• Michael (8/5): Great location, well done spaces, particularly if you stay in one of the main building rooms. - Location is perfect. The buildings, lobby, grounds are all very nicely done. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. We only stayed one night but would love to stay longer to try the breakfast. We selected the bungalow thinking it was a larger separate unit. It was separate but the space itself was small relative to the other rooms. During booking, this wasn't clear to us, but maybe we just didn't read it carefully enough. The shower was only separated from the room by a glass wall, which was very cool but the wall was too short so water splashed into the area next to the bed and even on the bed. Again, not a big deal, but worth knowing.
• Siham (7/5): -
• Erin (1/5): No corresponde con la realidad - Nada Me disgusto todo, no lo recomiendo Incómodo y sucio No corresponde con la realidad Sin agua caliente ni calefacción
• Maribel (7/5): -
• Alicia (8/5): Buena ubicación - La ubicación Ducha transparente al lado de la cama, poca privacidad, ropa de cama y toallas desgastados
• Cristina (7/5): - Decent accommodation for short stay in the area - staff are very nice and friendly, and their garden is very pretty; basic breakfast but still nice to have Maybe just the case with our room, but facilities were quite old, toilet had a lot of damp on walls and the smell was very strong (and being next to the bed, I could feel it all night), shower was open shower in the room (so a bit messy), bed very old and uncomfortable, carpet and blanket etc felt dirty; also windows were old and could not be closed properly so a lot of noise
• Jose Luis (10/5): -
• STEPHANIE (10/5): Très bel hôtel à Barrio Escalante - La décoration des chambres et des espaces communs, le patio avec la fontaine et les chaises pour se relaxer, l’emplacement, le calme, le petit déjeuner. Il manque peut être un peu de luminosité ou d’éclairage dans la chambre mais à part cela tout est parfait.
• Beatriz (7/5): hotel bonito em bairro legal - os funcionários do hotel foram muito atenciosos, o hotel é bonito e a localização é ótima, perto de vários restaurantes, bares e cafés achei o quarto muito barulhento. ouvimos bastante barulho à noite. além disso, o banheiro do quarto não tem paredes, o que atrapalha a intimidade para quem está dividindo o quarto, como era o meu caso.
• Daniela (8/5): Geteiltes Erlebnis in zwei verschiedenen Zimmern - Ich hatte für die erste Nacht ein Superior-Zimmer gebucht, für die weiteren zwei Nächte war dieses leider nicht mehr verfügbar. Das Superior würde ich jederzeit wieder buchen - schönes Zimmer im Groundfloor mit toller Aussicht in den schönen, grünen Innenhof, angenehmem Ambiente, sauber, Abstellflächen, alles perfekt. Das Hotel an sich ist sonst sehr süss und gepflegt, habe den begrünten, ruhigen Innenhof geliebt. Das Frühstück mit Müsli, Pancakes und Toast fand ich in Ordnung, aber sicherlich nicht überragend. Das zweite Zimmer im Obergeschoss war leider das Gegenteil des ersten - Aussicht zur Garage/heruntergekommenem seitlichen Innenhof, schmuddeliges Sofa und Boden, im Bad extrem beengt und absolut keine Abstellflächen für irgendwas, nicht mal für das Duschtuch, in der Dusche kam frühestens nach 5 Minuten warmes Wasser, Haare an der Wand... Schade!
• Antje (7/5): Tolle Lage, aber einfach - Super Lage, inmitten von netten Restaurants und Bars und trotzdem ruhig. Der Hotelgarten ist klein, aber sehr nett. Man kann draußen frühstücken. Wir haben ein deutlich kleineres Zimmer als gebucht bekommen und konnten nach einigen Diskussionen am nächsten Tag plötzlich doch das gebuchte Zimmer beziehen. Dort ging das Licht nicht, wurde aber repariert. Keine Ablagemöglichkeiten z.B. für Handtücher. Schönes altes Haus mit Charme, das aber in die Jahre gekommen und renovierungsbedürftig ist. Tagsüber gab es ständig Baulärm.
• Wegerhoff (10/5): - Tolle Lage!
• Emmanuelle (8/5): Charmant au milieu de la ville - La localisation Le petit déjeuner La chambre et sa décoration L’accueil La literie peu confortable (matelas dur) Pas de climatisation
