a tough call. staff is helpful, and some rooms are pleasant, but you are right on the train tracks and you will be washing the mildew from every ounce of clothing you bring with you. try someplace else. i have heard rooms at little havana are more pleasant. More

La Amistad is a comfortable hotel located on the outer edge of the downtown area. It is a short cab ride away from Barrio Amon and the downtown craziness, but lies in a much quieter area with small cafes, sodas and pharmacies nearby. The rooms are not fancy but are clean and have excellent beds and free calls to anywhere... More

During September 5-28, 2011 I lodged my third time at the La Amistad and as in the two previous visits, especially enjoyed the attentive and helpful staff. A day's interactions with the staff begin at breakfast when individual orders are taken and end in the evening when a "goodnight" is bid to the person who happens to be on the... More

My fiance and I stayed here for a total of 3 nights while in Costa Rica on our honeymoon this September. The short story: its a very nice, comfortable place to stay at a very affordable price. I highly recommend it! Heres the long story. Back in mid 2008 I stayed here several nights with a large group while on... More

Stayed in a studio room with jacuzzi, living room and king sized bed for around 89 / night + tax. Nice quiet place, lots of stairs though to get to certain rooms -- the hotel is a remodeled mansion so it has many levels. Great bar/lounge, laid back and elegant. No "questionable" people at the bar or in the restaurant... More

I stayed in the suite for a week. The service was outstanding from the maids to the manager. I been to San Jose many times usually staying at Best Western or Del Rey. I was treated poorly at Best Western and Del Rey is too busy with the casino and constant bar crowd 24/7. At La Amistad I was able... More

Hotel La Amistad offers various room sizes and options, all at reasonable prices. Where this hotel excels above and beyond the others is the fact that management is very helpful both prior and during your stay. I emailed at least five other hotels in this price category and higher, and didn't get a response from most of them. Rudy at... More
