Pros:

Big windows with view of La Sabana Park from the room. A/C worked well.
There was warm water in the shower but you couldn't adjust the temperature.
I liked that there was a table and chairs in the room.

Cons:

The mattress was very old - you could really feel the springs. Lots of traffic noise. Nowhere to put anything in the bathroom (i.e. towel, toiletries). No bath mat.
Very weird layout.

Decepcionante
Pros:

Localização

Cons:

Não é um hotel , é um lugar velho , com um restaurante embaixo, onde não tem portaria a noite, muito complicado . Eu jamais voltaria , pagaria mais e ficaria num lugar melhor .Nos cobraram 40 dólares para mudar de quarto . Super não recomendo .

Eine Nacht in San José ist das okay
Pros:

Das Frühstück war sehr vielfältig. Uns wurde sehr gut bei der Beschaffung eines Taxis geholfen. Vielen Dank a die sehr engagierten Mitarbeiter.

Cons:

Die Einrichtung der Zimmer ist sehr alt und rudimentär. Besonders das Bad muss dringend renoviert werden. Fenster konnte nicht geschlossen werden, ebenso die Tür zum Bad ließ sich vom Zimmer aus nicht verschließen.
