The location was perfect. Really close to some of the main streets, and it is also in a very safe neighbourhood. The staff were all very friendly and supportive. Unfortunately, there is no breakfast option, just food from 3 pm onwards, but you could let them know, and they would prepare something the day before, or there are many cafes around. The rooms are perfectly equipped as well as cleaned. I can just recommend this place for your stay in San Jose.

We had a wonderful experience staying at this hotel in Costa Rica. The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and everything was so well-organized and spotlessly clean. We had early morning tours scheduled each day, and the hotel made sure to pack a healthy breakfast for us on time, which we greatly appreciated. The level of service and attention to detail was exceptional. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a comfortable and well-managed place to stay!

Vibrant busy city with lots of interesting things to see and do. Name a brand and you can find it in the stores although it may be a bit on the pricey side. The one thing that struck us almost immediately was how clean things are, and the people are warm, welcoming and patient with us folks who can barely speak Spanish.

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems!

Excellent port of entry to visit lots of Costa Rican gems! Whether you are looking for adventure or chill beach vibes, this is the place with lots of access to tours from the city. And the city itself has a very robust historical, art and cultural experiences. Would recommend. Predominantly Spanish speaking, but lots of nationals will speak some English! So language barrier isn't a huge concern.

We spent the first and last night of our trip to Costa Rica in San José, but in retrospect, that was one night too many. Due to the traffic chaos, it simply takes too long to get to the hotels in San José, so you lose the desire to really explore the city.

San Jose is a patchwork of beautiful sites amidst a chaotic mess of traffic-riddled highways. We didn't really stay long enough to give it an accurate review, but our short stay was not encouraging. We spent most of our time in Costa Rica on the Pacific Coast, which was quite pleasant.

In general the city hasn't much to it - the best part is getting out on tours to see some nature! Traffic is also terrible at peak times, sometimes tripling the time is takes to get somewhere. Overall I had an enjoyable experience, but was reliant on tours, organised activities, extensive research on restaurants and Uber to get around.

As much as we like the hotel we we're impressed with the city It was dirty, sad and unpleasant city while la fortuna is exact opposite I hope they work in San Jose and improve the city. It really could attack people if this city will clean up with some good parks and development Good luck

We stayed here both on.our way in and way out of San Jose. We arrived on a very late flight but this wasn't a problem. The staff were very friendly. Breakfast was great. It's a short walk (10-15 mins) to the central market, shops and restaurants. We were warned not to walk around at night, but it didn't feel too bad and I expect this is the case for most of San Jose.. The hotel can order you in.pizza. The rooms are basic but clean and perfectly adequate for a short stay. The hotel has some nice decor and a garden area.

The only proper modern hotel in our stay in Costa Rica, modelled on the Western standards. Large room with a huge bed, table, chest of drawers, closet with iron and board, spacious bathroom with a powerfull shower - all in a good state. The buffet style breakfast was varied and tasty. Central pool looked big - although we didn't use it. There's an area with several restaurans nearby and hotel provides free shuttles to the aiport which was handy.
