We stayed at the Kelkoldi Hotel for two nights the beginning of April 2013. The staff were very friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfasts were good. Fruits, Toast, Cereals, Eggs, Coffee, Juice, etc. You can sit inside or in their fabulous interior courtyard under the trees. The room we... More

This small owner managed hotel is in a superb location for visiting the centre of San Jose.This is a city which on my first visit I was not impressed but on revisiting it again when you get under its skin it is a fascinating place with some historic buildings and excellent restaurants. Hotel Kekoldi is a small but very well... More

The Kekoldi is a small owner managed hotel well located in the city. The staff went out of their way to see that we had everything we needed. The rooms are pleasantly decorated, spacious and spotlessly clean. Add to this a good breakfast with plenty of choice and the luxury of the peaceful garden and you have an excellent choice... More

San Jose is perhaps not the most exciting place in the world, but when you go the service relative to price of this place cannot be beaten. Would recommend to anyone. Rooms are spacious, the breakfast lovely and the owner and his staff are constantly there offering you a complimentary tea, advice on where to go etc. Location offers easy... More

I wouldn't stay long in central San Jose but this is a great place to stop over! I stayed at the Kekoldi a couple of years ago. I'd arrived in San Jose late evening and was stopping over in the city before carrying on to the coast the next day. This is a small hotel, clean and well managed. The... More

This small hotel has wonderful ambiance. The staff is fun and helpful. Rooms are bright with lots of light. Breakfast is fresh fruit, fresh breads, eggs to order, etc. all included in the small price charged. Wonderful garden in back where bird watching is great. Will return when in San Jose'.

The only good things about this place was the breakfast and the car garage for my rental car. It is not located in the best of neighborhoods and everyone is warned not to walk around at night. It sits at the base of an old rich neighborhood of big mansions that are now government buildings. The night desk boy is... More

A 5 minute walk from downtown, this boutique hotel is very clean and comfortable. I have stayed a couple of times, the staff is very friendly and it serves a good breakfast. The only downside is that it doesn't have parking, but you have some public parking a few blocks away. Not really safe to go out at night walking... More

I really liked Kekoldi. It was charming. Completely safe. The staff were all wonderful. The garden area in the back was lovely, the breakfast was nice and they made us eggs to order every morning if we desired. Our room had hardwood floors and bright colors, everything was perfectly clean. Short walk to the center of San Jose. It had... More
