I was in the Kekoldi Hotel in San Jose, Costa Rica last month and there are not enough words for me to describe the service that I received from the guys at the front desk. They were very nice to me, very helpful, and very cordial. When I check in I got nothing but smiles and they made me feel... more

I can assure that noone of Kekoldi staff took the camera. The guest forgot to mention that he brought someone in late night before... Take your conclusions. Despite of several recommendations from us he left the window open for longer periods and someone from the street could have taken the camera. We are very sorry that he lost his camera,...

In March 2008 we (2 families, children from 14 to 16) made a trip through Costa Rica where we came to San Jose for two times and had our stays at Hotel Kekoldi. Both times we were given a warm welcome. The hotel is very nice, an oasis in a neigbourhood of isignificant buildings. The rooms are bright, spacious and... more

My partner and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in Costa Rica and Nicaragua, and stayed at Hotel Kekoldi in San José and Granada. I was very impressed with every aspect of the hotels. We booked a two-country package through the hotel that gave us three nights in San José and four nights in Granada. We have never been to Central... more

Recently stayed in San Jose at Kekoldi Hotel and unfortunately it was awful. Our room had three windows open to the noisy hall. The windows were not normal, no; they were the patio type with the panes that open like blinds. All of the noise from the streets and guests entering and leaving were clear. I could even hear the... more

We stayed at Kekoldi for one night when we first arrived in San Jose. It was a good jumping off point for us. I don't know if the neighborhood is safe or not, but the front desk has to buzz you in...so the door is locked at all times. We walked about 10 minutes to a local restaurant for dinner.... more

This hotel is located in a very dangerous part of San Jose and the price is not worth it. The worst part is what happened to me. I checked in to the Hotel on a friday night and as any good gay turist visiting a new city I went out to a club. When i came back at 1:30 am... more

I am a travel agent in San Jose on business and have been staying in Hotel Kekoldi this past week. I am extremely pleased with the quality and value of this guesthouse or bed and breakfast or whatever you want to call it. It´s a converted Art Deco residence and serves breakfast, so that makes it a B&B I suppose... more

I went to Hotel Kekoldi for my honeymoon. We arrived around 8 am because we took a red eye from LAX. When we arrived, we were told by the manager, Nabil, that the room was not ready. He offered to take our bags and put them in storage while we had some breakfast on the house. So we left our... more

We spent 2 nights in this hotel, the room was clean and spacious. The hotel is located nearby several good restaurants (eg Cafe el Mundo). They have a nice little interior garden where the breakfast is served. They offer free AND high speed internet. The rooms are not equipped with A/C, but it was not that bad as the night... more

We found this gay hotel very nice. It is designed like a home with its garden, stairs and spacious rooms. We stayed two nights there; on our first night and our last night in Costa Rica. The first night we got a room facing the street. There was street noise during the day, but the streets are rather quiet during... more
