Pros:

The hotel was quite difficult to find at first — you have to make a sudden turn from the main road into a very small street, which was a bit surprising at first. But once we arrived, we found a very interesting and lovely complex.

We really liked the place — it had a lot of character, with beautiful mosaics and many nice Costa Rican details. Breakfast included local gallo pinto, pancakes, and fruit. In the evening, there was a live jazz-style performance in the restaurant/bar, which created a very enjoyable atmosphere.

We Would Book Again
Pros:

Very accommodating and friendly staff. The breakfast was fabulous. The restaurant next door was also a bonus, not to have to venture out after a long day. The room was basic and clean.

Cons:

Some street noise but that is to be expected.

SATISFECHA.
Pros:

MUY BUENOS LOS DESAYUNOS , BASTANTE VARIADO.

Cons:

LA HABITACION UN POCO PEQUEÑA Y LA TV TAMBIEN,, COLOCAR UNA ALFOMBRA MAS NUEVA EN EL PISO YA QUE CUANDO TE LEVANTAS SIN CHANCLAS SE SIENTE EL FRIO DEL PISO. DE LO DEMAS TODO BIEN.

Very convenient hotel.
Pros:

A hotel in the perfect location close to the hospital after my wife broke her leg. The staff were great and understanding when I needed a second night. The breakfast was excellent. Also a good location for a (longish) walk into the City Centre.

Cons:

Everything was fine
