Un bon début de séjour au Costa Rica
Pros:

Nous avons séjourné à l'Hôtel Colombus pour une nuit de transition avant notre road-trip au Costa Rica.
L'accès depuis l'aéroport est très facile, et l'amplitude horaire d'accueil arrangeante.
Il y a des places de parking accolées à l'hôtel (sans frais supplémentaires)
Le petit-déjeuner (buffet) était excellent. Et l'hôtel dispose d'un restaurant qu'on a pas eu le temps de tester (mais ça avait l'air appétissant !)
La chambre et salle de bain étaient spacieuses et confortables pour une nuit.

Cons:

Pour une nuit, rien à redire :)

Cons:

Es una pocilga, el desayuno está horrible. Las habitaciones está en muy mal estado, los colchones tienen huecos. Y el check in es tardísimo. Es barato pero no vale la pena

Fijne plek voor een kort bezoek aan San José
Pros:

Vriendelijk personeel, goed gelegen ten opzichte van het stadscentrum en activiteiten.

Cons:

Ontbijt zou iets meer aandacht mogen krijgen.
Voordeur moet door personeel geopend worden om binnen te komen, dat is soms onhandig.
