Before we chose this hotel to spend two last nights in CR before flying back home, we couldn’t find any reviews/comments on the hotel, and that’s why I want to share our very good experience with it.
We stayed in the hotel two nights mid-February and were very happy with it. The hotel is a little bit on the older side, but in an excellent shape. Most importantly, it was very clean. The rooms are relatively small, but more than good enough. Why would you need a big room, if you need it, more or less, just to sleep over? Even if you’re staying more than just one night (to catch a transfer to another place in CR as you start your vacation, or to catch a plane on the way back from vacation), the hotel is a good choice. It is in a quiet residential area, but close to the city center (15-20 minutes walk, or 5 minutes $2 cab). It’s also close to the Sabana Park and some museums in it. There are some good restaurants in the area (excellent Peruvian restaurant Machu Pichu, a Japanese restaurant on the main street Paseo Colon, etc.)
The buffet breakfast is included and it’s very good (eggs, salads, fruits, cakes, natural juices, etc.). There are also two computers for Internet and they are 1 hour free for guests. The problem is that two is a bit too little, but you might be lucky.
All in all, a very good choice for a San Jose hotel, especially in terms of the value you get for the price.
