We had a lovely stay at Hotel Fleur De Lys even though we were only there for one evening. The hotel was charming and clean and the staff was very helpful. We booked the suite with the jacuzzi and really enjoyed soaking in the tub after our day exploring the city. The room was spacious and cool. The breakfast in the morning was simple, but included eggs and pinto gallo so it would be a filling breakfast for anyone who enjoys those meals.

I loved my stay, especially the staff who were patient enough to let me try to speak Spanish but could fill in with English when I needed it (which was often). The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast included lots of options from gallo pinto to bread, eggs, ham, cheese, and, of course, excellent fruit. The hotel is an easy walk to the National Museum and there was a fun (and free) Calypso concert going on when I came. They even let me store some luggage there while I went off to explore parts of the Camino de Costa Rica. I would visit again.

Yes it was, the staff were exceptional, young man when we were leaving for the airport and needed to find our laundry which should have been delivered by an outside laundry, totally saved us. He called the laundry which was about to close for the day. Offered to go with us in the taxi that he had ordered to assist with dealing with the laundry. We didn’t require that but he already called them to establish our laundry was there. PS if staying at the hotel DO NOT USE Arthur’s laundry service.

Be prepared to drive in circles to find the hotel. Once you do, it’s hard to find a safe place to park. The hotel recommends a place and it cost you 14$ to park.
Breakfast was terrible. There was no food other than some watermelon. Coffee was scarce and you’re lucky if you get a cup.
Oh watched the cooks sit there eating while the guests sat there with nothing.

Nice house turned into a hotel, about a 10-minute walk to the center. My room was spacious with a decent bathroom and a small garden, but no chair, which was a bit inconvenient. It was right next to the stairs, so I could hear people and noise from the next room. Train noise was noticeable but didn’t bother me much. Staff speak mostly Spanish, so communication was a bit tricky. Breakfast wasn't ready on time, and they don’t offer anything if you leave early for a tour. At checkout, no one was at reception, I had to find someone to help me. Overall, it’s a charming place, but a few service issues to be aware of.

The staff were lovely and warm, the traditional breakfast was delicious but the property is situated right next to a railway track. The noise of the constant trains, barking dogs and loud motorbikes spoils the overall stay. And then there is the coffee machine on a table but no electrical socket to plug it in so you have to carry it to the side of the bed or the bathroom 🙄 And the price of a small bottle of water that you easily mistake as complimentary was the price of a taxi across town. Hmmmm

La experiencia en el hotel no fue la mejor. La habitación estaba limpia, pero el servicio al cliente dejó mucho que desear. La atención fue fría y poco servicial, debido a que llegamos un poco tarde al check in. El inodoro no funcionaba bien. Además, el ruido durante la noche hizo difícil descansar, y en la mañana el ruido del tren pasando. No lo recomendaría si buscas comodidad y buen trato.

The property is in a good location as it is walking distance to the National Museum, National Park, Plaza De La Cultura and other points of interest in San Jose.
However, the facility is too close to the train track. As a result the noise level is too loud and train runs early in the morning affecting ability to sleep in a bit.

The train runs behind the building during the day, but I didn't hear any at night.

The hotel is beautiful. Lovingly restored w beautiful art. The staff was friendly, helpful and very responsive. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful; our room came w an upgrade which was unexpected and much appreciated. The only downside for us was the considerable train noise as the tracks run just behind the hotel; sleeping was difficult for only that reason.

Lovely boutique hotel in heart of San Jose

Cannot beat the location for a night or two in San Jose, and super affordable. Less than a block from Jade museum and National Museum, easy walk to Gold museum and Central Market. Charming boutique hotel, accommodating kind staff, room was a great size, bathroom was nice, view was of the city on one window and out to the mountains past the city on the other.

The only con anyone mentions in reviews is it is literally right next to a commuter train track, so go in with the expectation that you'll hear train horns at 6am. But they stop during the night between main sleeping hours, and if you know yourself you'll know if that will bother you or not. Nice breakfast, fresh fruit, gallo pinto, eggs, bread. Discounted gated 24/7 parking right around the corner.

Just a very charming place to stay right in the heart of the city that feels calm and serene inside.

Would stay again

While the building is historic (0ld), the bathroom was updated and functioned well. The room had tile floors and was clean. The staff were very available and helpful to this English-speaking client.
The beds are not very comfortable, somewhat on the hard side. But, for the price of the hotel, it was acceptable to me.
The hotel is only about 1/2 block from Avenue 2, which makes it convenient for restaurants and shopping. Close to their national museum, and within walking distance of Central Market.

Beautiful hotel with simple, comfortable rooms.

A beautiful hotel! The rooms aren’t anything fancy, but are comfortable and great for a short stay. There are plenty of communal areas to sit I. The rest of the hotel outside the room, and it is quite lovely out there. Nice breakfast with indoor and outdoor seating. I showed up a day early and they quickly changed the reservation and got us into a room. I would absolutely stay here again.

Very walkable location. Lovely buffet breakfast. Staff are nice but I had to ask for a map and tour info. Rooms come with a safe, which is nice. Great shower with soap. Clean rooms. Rooms are small but there are Lovely common areas where you can sit. The front porch is especially inviting. The hotel can be noisy about once an hour when the train passes behind it and blows its horn. But it’s quiet at night. Location is within walking distance to National Museum, Jade Museum, Gold Museum, National Theater, Artisans’ Market, Central Market, grocery stores and restaurants.

Wonderful experience

We learned from reviews that most rooms have no AC at this hotel except suites. When I called to upgrade, Kailene upgraded it for free! Thank you so much! It was a nice room with jacuzzi, clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very simple Costa Rican style. The only issue is the train passing, it starts by 5am and stops before 9pm. Just go to bed early and rise early. Healthy living!!

A fantastic, characterful hotel. Immaculate cleanliness, ceiling fan keeping room cool and comfortable. Friendly staff. Centrally located to explore central San Jose on foot. Breakfast: limited selection but fresh, tasty and plenty of it. Airey, spacious room with 2 double beds for a family of 4. New bathroom with a great shower. Cannot fault the place. Would definitely stay here again.

Decent--but don't check in after-hours.

Overall our stay was about what we expected it to be from the reviews we had read. Since we were arriving late, the property sent us an email with the code to the locked hotel door, and instructions on our room locations, keys, etc. What they did NOT give us was any information on where to park our rental car, which wouldn't have been a big deal, except for the fact we were in an unfamiliar foreign country in which we did not speak the country's language--two things which make what normally would be a pretty simple problem one that was stressful and full of uncertainty. No one was on site at the property to assist, nor did anyone answer the phone when we called. Once I was able to find a pay lot and Google Translate my way through talking to the attendant, we were able to settle into our rooms, which were serviceable and clean.

We stayed three nights at this charming well-decorated boutique hotel with a French flair. The hotel is actually an original Victorian mansion that was converted. The hotel is located in the heart of San Jose near most major attractions (museums, market, restaurants, etc). The room we stayed in, the “Poma”, was spacious, clean, and had comfortable beds. By the way, all the rooms are named after flowers native to Costa Rica. We also enjoyed the breakfast which was included. But what made this hotel memorable was the staff. They were helpful, professional and friendly. They went out their way to make sure that we had everything that we needed. They even assisted us in making appointments at the hospital Clinica Biblica for our required COVID-19 tests. I would highly recommend this hotel. Value 5/5
