I really couldn't have asked for more from Kap's place. When I showed up with nothing, they gave me reason to have hope for the remainder of my trip. But, this review isn't about my trip, it's about Kap's Place. Enormous generosity, friendly people, lots of choices for rooms, free wi-fi, free internet, free breakfast and a hostel atmosphere without... more

We selected this hotel because it was recommended by a couple of guide books. The pros are: helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff, convenient and safe location. The cons: uncomfortable rooms with no hangers, noisy, couldn't sleep. We got two rooms sharing one private bath. One room had no window and no ventilation whatsoever once the door was closed. There were... more

We got into San Jose and went to the hotel across the street from Kap's believing we had a reservation. We thought wrong and were turned away at 6am! I knew Kap's was across the street so we crossed our fingers and were ecstatic they had space and we could check in right then. They even let us have breakfast... more

My husband and I stayed here the night before we flew out of Costa Rica. We found this hostel/hotel to be quite nice, especially when you consider the low cost. This hotel is really more of a compound. You go through the security gate and there are all sorts of hangout spaces and indoor gardens to relax in. When we... more

My husband and I stayed for a couple of nights in Costa Rica. I felt like I was a house guest not a hotel guest due to the hospitality and warmth of the hosts. All amenities are provided and Karla, the manager, will go out of her to accommodate any guest requests. The staff is very polite and professional. The... more

I have stayed at Kap's Place several times throughout the years since the guesthouse opened opened, perhaps ten years ago. Each time, Karla and the hotel staff have been warm and friendly, extraordinarily attentive, and clearly, completely oriented toward highest quality customer service. All of my needs have been met promptly and with cheer and enthusiasm. The staff has coordinated... more

My sister and I stayed here a while ago based on so many favorable reviews. It was indeed affordable, clean, and the staff was hospitable upon our arrival. As we decided to settle for the evening in our room, I looked out our 2nd floor window onto the street and noticed a man looking into our room, masturbating. It was... more

Karla Céspedes-Arias, General Manager/Owner

I am writing to apologize for your experience ma'am. I am truly sorry you had to witness an unpleasant scene from your room. After contacting every worker I have on staff and calling each regarding this issue I reread your comment and noticed your visit was on July 2006. I am unsure of your purpose in publicly communicating this experience...

I stayed at KAPS PLACE as I had a few things to take care of in San Jose in preparation to go to Quepos where I am working on an eco-retreat. I was pleasantly surprised by the 'round the clock support from informed staff. The value was great and I felt like I was staying at the home of a... more
