Heel duur en oneerlijke service. We dachten te reserveren bij ticos om hen een plezier te doen, maar hadden beter Holida
Pros:

Dicht bij de luchthaven San José

Cons:

Dure drankjes, hels lawaai naast grote weg en vliegtuigen vlak boven het hotel, toen ik vroeg om pizza te bestellen vlakbij gaf ik hen daar geld voor en dan bestelden ze bij een goedkopere verderaf en gaven geen geld terug

Such a wonderful place
Pros:

The building and grounds were stunningly beautiful. Clean and gorgeous dark wood and unique artwork. It’s like stepping into a friends large house. I think it’s over a hundred years old. The owners met us at the gate & were extremely welcoming & friendly…such a personable experience.

Cons:

There was quite a bit of traffic noise as it sits right by the Main Street. You can also hear the planes ✈️ above as it is only about 5 minutes from the airport.

Will stay again!
Pros:

The hotel is located a 5 minute drive from the airport which is super handy. The inside of the hotel is beautiful - really artistic and interesting style. The hosts, Henri and MJ were some of the warmest and friendliest people I met on my trip in CR, they really made the stay. I turned up several hours before checkin and they were there greeting me with coffee and dates, and interesting conversation before I checked into my room early. Worth mentioning that the bed was very comfortable (I have paid more in other places for much less comfort). There is also a lovely outdoor area you can hang out in which is handy if you're waiting for a flight the day you leave!

Quick stop over near the airport
Pros:

With a late flight in and an early start the next day - the location was great.

Cons:

Rooms were not soundproofed and the noise of trucks on the street combined with aeroplanes taking off and landing nearby made sleeping difficult (fortunately the hotel provides war buds for blocking the noise 😅)

Good price but installations outdated
Pros:

The location is very close to the airport

Cons:

The first room doesn’t lock the bathroom and I ask to be moved to a room with AC and the room that I get was closer to the road and you can hear all the cars on the street specially the big trucks roaring their engines, the staff left some earplugs on the table but nobody told us, sounds unreal but is true

A Nice Stay
Pros:

The room was clean and was in a private area that I could lock. The room had a private shower with warm water. The area outside of my room was pretty with lovely evening lighting.

Cons:

The room was right by the road, so it was very noisy all night long. It made it hard to sleep. The restaurant was not open.
