Edificio singular, y buena atención
Pros:

Edificio singular, con habitaciones amplias. Cerca de zona para comer, y fácil para aparcar.

Cons:

Dependiendo de la habitación puede bajar la puntuación, ya que las habitaciones que dan a la calle son bastante ruidosas. El desayuno algo limitado (tostada, tres tipos de fruta, dos tipos de galletas caseras y huevos al gusto)

Très bonne expérience
Pros:

Position centrale, à moins de 15 minutes à pied du centre touristique, et avec des restos et snacks à proximité directe (et un resto dans l'hôtel également). Nous avons également utilisé le parking, vraiment facile et très bon marché. Petit déjeuner très bon, sur une terrasse couverte qui donne sur un petit jardin (il y avait des écureuils qui se promenaient dans les arbres). Personnel souriant.

Cons:

Pour les plus sensibles au bruit, les chambres ne sont pas très bien insonorisées.

Pros:

I liked the place where to have breakfast and i liked that it has a really nice garden and everywhere is full of green..

Cons:

I stayed there for few nights, and they had to change the room for me, i didnt like the new room because it had no windows and it smelled bad ( smell of a closed place woth no air), also they didnt have air conditioning and it was hot and full of bugs but it part of the nature so..

Hôtel très sympa, en plein ville mais parfaitement au calme et avec beaucoup de verdure.
Pros:

Le confort du lit.
Le petit déjeuner
Le parking pour la voiture juste en face de l’hôtel
L’accueil
La deco de l’hôtel
Le petit jardin avec tout plein de verdure en pleine ville
Le calme
L’écureuil qui vient vous voir lors du petit déjeuner.
L’emplacement tout près du centre de San José

Cons:

Fenêtre donnant sur une petite cour, donc peu de lumière. Mais pour une nuit, cela n’était pas du tout gênant.
