Buena opción calidad-precio en San José. No merece la pena gastarse más.
Pros:

Hotel que en líneas generales no destaca por nada , pero que tampoco tiene defectos destacables. El personal es muy amable, la habitación está bien también y el desayuno se compone de lo que allí llaman "gallo pinto", consistente en huevos revueltos con arroz y frijoles, además de café, zumo, tostadas y demás. Está más o menos céntrico; al centro propiamente dicho de la ciudad se puede ir en 30 minutos caminando. Que quede claro también, que todo esto lo estoy diciendo poniendo en la balanza relación calidad-precio. Visto a posteriori, me he alegrado de haberme alojado aquí y no haber pagado más en otros sitios.

Cons:

Más que el hotel en sí, lo que no me gustó fue la ciudad, en el sentido que ni tiene mucho para ver, ni es agradable al paseo (mucha gente tirada por las aceras, olores, etc), y además el tráfico es un horror, por no hablar de los altísimos precios de todo. De ahí que, en caso de querer ir a San José, puede ser una buena idea alojarse en éste hotel, porque para mí, sinceramente, no merece la pena gastar más. Ahora bien, si lo que se quieren es hacer excursiones (que es lo hice yo), mejor ir pensando en alojarse en otro lugar en el que el tráfico no condicione tanto los viajes.

a great place to stay downtown San Jose
Pros:

amazing place ...very quite despite close to main commercial streets (avenida 2)...walking distance to many spots. Lovely building with small swimming pool and so called jacuzzi. Very friendly people and good breakfast with on request options. Good wifi and top clean room.They have a closed garage to park your car.

Cons:

almost everything was great....would still have appreciated warm water in jacuzzi....and international free TV channels.

Preis-Leistung Top!
Pros:

Das Frühstück war das absolute Highlight. Vielfältig und üppig! Ebenso sind die Dachterrasse und das etwas verborgene Schwimmbecken als positive Extras zu erwähnen. Mein Zimmer war eher durchschnittlich. Nicht besonders attraktiv, aber soweit alles da, was man braucht. Das Hotel befindet sich ganz in der Nähe vom Tica-Bus-Terminal. Es hat auch genügend Restaurants in der Nähe.

Pros:

Was für ein toller Ort zum Übernachten um San Josè zu besuchen. Etwas abseits vom Trubel aber trotzdem alles zu Fuß erreichbar.
Alle waren unglaublich nett.
Das Frühstück war toll und die Zubereiterinnen noch toller.
Eine Oase mit Pool und Whirlpool, einer tollen Dachterrasse und sehr schönen Zimmern.

Wir hatten das Glück dass nur einige Zimmer belegt waren.
Wenn es voll ist, kann es womöglich etwas lauter sein.

Falls wir jemals wieder in San José sind, dann gerne wieder bei euch!

Beautiful relaxing welcoming base to explore the region
Pros:

Comfy, clean room with balcony overlooking beautiful gardens. All staff from reception, restaurant, cleaner and gardeners were friendly and very helpful. Restaurant food was excellent and catered for allergies.
It’s an easy 30 minute walk to the town, uber is everywhere and there are lots of tours and activities available.
