My brother, sister-in-law, and myself stayed one night in the Amistad. I found it centrally located, easy to travel from via taxi. The food was most excellent, service equally so. Continental breakfast was ready at the crack of dawn, a plus if you are an very early riser like myself.All staff were most hospitable and eager to help us out... more

The Hotel was great. The food was wonderful...best Ceasar Salad I ever had. The service was terrific. The hospitality was unbeatable, Alex Palma set us up with a once in a lifetime private tour with Luis our driver who did a fabulous job and the tour was awesome! Matthew, the owner was very personable. They all made us feel very... more

I have actually stayed there twice, once during the renovations and recently. I am a business owner and previously traveled extensively for 10 years within and outside the USA. One thing I noticed which makes this place different. The OWNER is there during the day and his cell phone number is on the hotel card. First, I would like to... more

I recently stayed here for several nights and first impression was that it was a very nice hotel. I had a suite which was large and comfortable. The location of the hotel is just a ten minute walk to the downtown. It was suggested at night to take a taxi but I walked back and forth from downtown as late... more

The train and its inherent noise is a problem that we are working to address. It is a new commuter train that started transporting passengers a few weeks ago. Since then the train has derailed twice, there have been numerous incidents with passenger cars and buses and neighborhood protests on the tracks have stopped the train. There was even a...

I have stayed at the Hotel La Amistad on two different occasions. My first stay was in early July 2009. My most recent stay was in September 2009. I have stayed at other hotels in Costa Rica, but nothing compares to the value and attention you will receive at the Hotel La Amistad I have decided that when I travel... more

Booked this hotel from reviews here on TA. Didn't venture past page 1. If I had, I probably would not have booked this hotel due to the countless comments about the trade going on. However, the location is fantastic in a nice neighbourhood vs. San Jose downtown and there is a parkling lot across the street. The hotel interior and... more

Costa Rica is considered a tropical paradise with extraordinary ecological diversity. This diversity, described extensively in guidebooks, is what attracts most visitors. What is rarely mentioned is that this same paradise created by year round high temperatures and high humidity also creates a perfect environment for other less attractive things to grow. Many of these “things” such as bugs and...

We stayed two nights at this wonderful hotel and would stay again if we are ever in San Jose. Rooms were clean, staff was very friendly and they even do your laundry!!! Food was excellent! Breakfast is free and you can have fresh fruit and eggs to order. Dinner was my favorite, ask the the Thai soup, it is wonderful!... more

I've stayed at Hotel La Amistad three times in the past three months and I've never been disappointed. It seems like every room is different and you definitely get what you pay for. The standard rooms are more than sufficient but the Penthouses are amazing. The staff are more than accomodating and will quickly handle any problems you might have.... more

Our group of four had a great time staying at La Amistad in San Jose. San Jose is a HUGE city and the hotel was centrally located, about 30 minutes from the airport. There are other restaurants in the area, but the food at the hotel was superb! They also have a free breakfast that consist of eggs, pancakes, or... more
