I stayed here for five days and I have to say that all the good reviews here are extremely accurate. This hotel is almost perfect! The building is an architectural piece of art, everything seems to be cared for in the details, the room, I had a penthouse suite, is spacious and comfortable, everything is new and well kept.

Ive stayed at the hotel a few times . I felt very comfortable in a country that I was not familiar with. The sleeping accomodations were excellent and I felt like I was in a five star hotel. However, the absolute reason I like the Amistad is the staff, in particular Mr Carlos Rodriquez. He always went the extra mile... more

I stayed there for 5 days, and it was truly a pleasant experience. The hotel and it's staff had that homely feel...Wake up at 7 am, and have a nice hot breakfast made to order - which is COMPLIMENTARY! The hotel was very clean and quiet. They are also girl friendly...They just opened up a Martini bar within the lobby.... more

Eggs any style, pancakes, and I heard soon to be waffles too !!! Up early, there is a fruit tray with fresh pineapple, mango, papaya, watermellon etc varries... more

This review is based on only a one-night stay, but we enjoyed our stay very much. We were greeted warmly when we arrived, and the service from both Carlos and Matt were great throughout. The room was large, with a king-size bed with a good mattress and nice linens. Nice bathroom, but no counter space and a very low small... more

The staff are very courteous. Language is not a problem. Easy check in. Quite easy going atmosphere. The owners is always about or a phone call away. Rooms range from basic to full suites. Going back in June for two weeks. more

I had high hopes for this place, considering TripAdvisor rated it #2 (out of 50) hotel in San Jose and seemed like a good value (about $65 for a decent looking place and rave reviews) for those of us who are on a slight budget. The front desk staff was friendly and helpful and the room did deem to be... more

We stayed only one night at Hotel La Amistad as we came into Costa Rica through San Jose. We had a problem with our reservation (I had reserved 2 rooms, but they said I only had one.) However, they resolved the confusion with no problem. This hotel is a great value considering that it offers clean (somewhat spartan) rooms and... more
