Pros:

Such a beautiful hotel, I am only sorry that we only stayed for one night! The room was very spacious and comfortable, with an excellent shower. The location was perfect for a trip to the main museums in the city. We ate at the restaurant upstairs, and I highly recommend it. The servers were so friendly and attentive, and the meal itself was absolutely delicious. The buffet breakfast was probably the best that we had on our four week trip, such a variety of options, and plenty for me as a coeliac. Special shout out to Jorge, such a wonderfully pleasant man, thank you for your assistance Jorge!

Sgradevole odore
Pros:

La pozione eccellente, la colazione varia.

Cons:

La camera vecchia con un condizionatore fatiscente di 40 anni fa, ma la cosa peggiore era il disgustoso odore di umidità della camera.

Great place,
Pros:

Staff, location. Room. Restaurant, especially staff was very nice and helpful.

Cons:

Wish room had a ceiling fan and not only AC unit for fan. Air filter needs cleaning. Not enough healthy protein options for breakfast… Salchicha is terrible. But everything else good.

Super komfortables Hotel in erstklassiger Lage
Pros:

Der Stil des Hauses hat mir sehr gut gefallen, unser Zimmer (Apex) war klasse!!
Das Bett war wehr bequem.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist umfangreich und lecker.
Die Lage ist superzentral und alles, was man so ansehen kann in San José, ist zu Fuß zu erreichen.
Sehr froh war ich auch über den Parkplatz.

Cons:

Ein Cappuccino zum Frühstück wäre toll gewesen.
