I stay there about 10 times a year. The property is in my opinion, the best in the San Pedro area. No worries about someone there stealing credit card identity as happened at a nearby hotel. I do wonder about employee turnover there.

We had a nice stay but the area around seems dangerous based on all the electric wires and fences and gates on all properties in the area. Breakfast was good and staff friendly and helpful. Rooms was clean. No A/C but windows offer a breeze but there is plenty of noise. Door to the room seemed flimsy and hollow with no extra lock, just door knob lock.

Lovely neighbourhood, lovely hotel
This is the perfect place to stay if you know San Jose a little bit. You are right in San Pedro with easy access to the rest of the city via public transportation. Nice restaurants are all within walking distance as is the pleasant campus of the University of Costa Rica. The campus is a great place for a run too! I like the fact that all rooms have kitchenettes too!

10/10 Exceptional
Yep, great place if you spend little time at your hotel, like conference or whatnot. The staff is super helpful and generous, always trying to help out.
A little noisy, but disappears into the general buzz of San Jose after a while.
Absolutely recommended!

The ataff at this older building made the visit very comfortable. Its an older, clean, well maintained hotel. It’s great to have free laundry facilities. The breakfast was variable. If you like eggs, request them.
Hotel transfers are arranged not included.
My taxi to the airport was not comfortable.
Again a friendly outstanding staff
Muchas Gracias

B- grade
Hotel staff were courteous, helpful, and professional...room was well-equipped, well-prepared, and fairly quiet...hot water in the shower was super..breakfast was good, but the packets of butter should have been refrigerated or iced, as the ones I used were rancid and odorous...my only strong criticism was the state of the carpet in the room -- it was filthy and it blackened the bottoms of our feet...dirty footprints were visible on the tile in the hallway and bathroom...I suggest a deep steam cleaning or total replacement of the carpet
