These folks couldn't have been nicer! Our family of 5 stayed here for one night in February 2012. We had been up to the Arenal area, and had an early morning flight the next morning to The Osa Peninsula. It was great to see a bit of a metropolitan area, although we drove in after dark and couldn't walk around... More

My husband and I stayed in 1915 Hotel in May 2012. We only stayed the one night, after flying in to San José airport that evening. The hotel was spotless clean, was very quiet and far more beautiful than the photos on this site would lead you to believe - they do it little justice. The staff didn't have much... More

Small simple cramped rooms, slightly disorganized staff, though very nice and helpful. The hotel was beautiful, historic building with lovely places to lounge. Great breakfast. Very safe rooms and parking. Nice place to begin or end your adventure!

This reservation was made for my group. I arrived at the airport and the taxi driver had to ask another for directions. Short, inexpensive cab ride. Doesn't look like a hotel from the street, but inside it is wonderful. Looks and feels like a historic home where you are a guest. Small room, but it had an en suite bathroom.... More

Spent 3 nights here as a base to visit poas volcano and rest up after 3 weeks traveling around Costa Rica. This is an old place and looks funky from the outside but once you enter it is quite a charmer. Built in about1900 as a residence for some coffee magnates and converted into a hotel it offers travelers a... More

Tripadvisor reviews were very helpful - and I was so happy I booked in here for my last night in Costa Rica (I would have loved another few days here). From the outside, you are not prepared for the gorgeous setting inside - 1915 was an old house, the downstairs sitting areas are beautifully furnished - my room was totally... More

We arrived in Costa Rica and needed a place to stay quite near the airport. We took the guide books advice and booked into Hotel 1915. It looks nothing from the road but its amazing! An old building with loads of character, friendly staff and to top it off humming birds feed around you as you are having breakfast -... More

We stayed two nights after arriving very late November 20th, 2011. The staff were waiting for us and were very helpful getting us settled. The complimentary breakfasts were terrific, and the staff arranged transport to our next destination (La Fortuna) for us. Our adult children who were joining us in Costa Rica in early December also stayed at the 1915,... More

When the taxi dropped us in front of the hotel, i wondered if i had made a good choice... From the outside, there is no way you can be prepared for what is waiting for you inside. Beautiful place, nice furnitures, and so so much bigger than what we expected. The staff was nice, but not enthousiast, just OK, but... More

This is the second time we stayed here. The reason we came here again is because it is close to the airport and the hotel itself is very nice. We came here this time and got put up down the street in their apartments. If they are full and want you to stay at the apartments take my advice and... More
