Friendly, helpful host, clean rooms and halls, but very limited hot water in the shower (which had such limited pressure I almost couldn't get the soap off), our room had no window to the outside, only one to the stairwell, no a/c and the place itself is incredibly difficult to find even challenging for a taxi driver. The price was... more

Two friends and I stayed at this hotel off and on in April and May, as we traveled around Costa Rica. It was a great home-base, with a great staff (Jose, Jose Omar, and their sister, and LOVELY and sweet mother), and a delicious and healthy breakfast every morning. This place is such a bargain: free internet access, free breakfast,... more

The architecture of the hotel is amazing! So light and airy! I found the hotel to be totally charming. We had use of the washers and dryers during our 2 week stay. Breakfast was amazing with fruits, cheeses, meats, breads, jams, yogurts, cereals, etc. Twice Jose made us omelets. After class my friend and I used the kitchen to study.... more

This hotel located near the heart of Heredia. Most places fo interest are no more than a 10 minute walk. The bus to San Jose is 1 block to the east. There is super market across the street. If you are attending the languge school Intercultura, it's just 4 blocks away. The free beakfast are wonderful. Lot's of fresh fruit,... more

Now the bad: The room was tiny and smelled funny, the rooms are... more

I stayed four nights @ Hotel Hojarascas and it was wonderful. The family that runs the hotel treats you like family (mi hermano Jose). They have wonderfully healthy breakfasts and provide free to and from transportation when flying into and out of the international airport. I highly recommend this hotel - La Vida Pura.

I stayed two nights in Hotel Hojarascas in mid-January and found it to be an excellent value for the money (rate was $62 per night then). It is not the Hotel Bougainvillea with it's excellent gardens, spacious rooms, original art, restaurant and service, but the rates are less than half what you would pay there. And it is definitely several... more

Hotel Hojarascas was a fabulous little gem hidden in the middle of bustling Heredia. We stayed there our first and last night during our trip to Costa Rica. The hotel is extremely clean, very convenient to the San Jose International Airport and the owners make you feel like family. The complimentary breakfast is delicious and served right out of the... more
