Stayed here by myself for a couple nights before the start of a group tour - I'm so happy I stayed here, Maurice the hotellier was so welcoming and made me feel so at ease, and gave me tips on what to do in San Jose. Would definitely stay here again :D

For the price it does the trick. Room was clean and staff were great. Sophie at the reception was fantastic. Some of the rooms on the main floor are a bit small and not a lot of air circulation. Close to a mall and the lots of restaurants.

This is a traditional inexpensive Tico hotel. It has fans instead of AC, no pool, thinner walls than US folk are used to, no elevator front and center. But it is clean, safe, and costs half or less the rate of a US-style hotel. There is a mall, banks and restaurants within a half kilometer. It's good at being what it's supposed to be.

It’s between a very busy road and a railway line so noise might be an issue. Easy walk to shopping mall and plenty of restaurants/ bars. About 20-25 minute walk into the main business shopping area in town

Close to musiums, restaurants and pubs

Central stay with clean basic conditions

The owner of the hotel is very sweet and helpful and the hotel ( or better say hostel really) is centrally located, which makes it a nice stay. It is also clean.
Amenities are basic, room is very simple, be prepared for a lukewarm water. But the price speaks for it.
I stayed as part of the group travel so it was an agency choice which was obviously budget focused.

Hotel was your basic 2-3 star hotel. Bathroom sink and toilet were very close to each other (cramped). Faucet was loose and moved when turning on and off water. Soap in dispenser next to sink was solid and not able to dispense any soap. Window was covered and did not provide much natural lighting. Room was located near the front of the hotel so was subject to traffic noise all night long. The included breakfast was basic, eggs, rice & beans, toast, some fruit, coffee and orange juice. Can order eggs cooked to your preference and pancakes. Front door is always locked and must ring doorbell to be let in and attendant must unlock door for you to leave the hotel.

An older hotel in a good location.

Based on Expedia reviews I booked this hotel for 3 days. The location is excellent, the front desk staff is very responsive, it is is clean and the wifi good. However the hotel looks better in the photos than in the reality. It is an older hotel and everything in it appears to be original and probably at least 50 years old. It should have been renovated at least 20 years ago. There is no in room safe nor refri or minibar. The hotel advertises a \"full\" breakfast but one day the \"full\" breakfast was coffee and a small bean taco. The other two days it was Gallo Pinto (rice and beans) that tasted like it had been cooked earlier and just warmed up. The food was not fresh tasting. However , the hotel was quiet because it appeared that very few people were staying there.

Cozzy hotel close to San Jose

The staff were very friendly and the room was very clean. If you want air conditioning you have to request it because only two rooms have air conditioning. The train pass behind the hotel so you will feel like the earth is trembling every time it crossed by. At night you can listen the cars and buses because the hotel is in front of Central Avenue. To me it was OK, I felt very secure and it was very clean. They give you a traditional breakfast called gallo pinto with coffee,fruits and yogurt.

Gostaria de avaliar melhor o hotel, pq os Staffs eram muito educados e prestativos. Mas infelizmente está tendo uma construção no hotel ou no vizinho, antes das 07:00 da manhã já havia trabalhadores fazendo barulho como se fossem dentro do meu quarto, é pior que isso, não podíamos abrir a cortina pois eles estavam na laje em frente à minha janela, veriam tudo dentro do quarto! Isso me deixou extremamente irritado e insatisfeito, não voltaria no hotel!
