Hotel is beautiful, clean, pool and common areas are very neat. View of the city from the hotel and pool are amazing. Location feels safe and quiet. The location is a bit far from the airport and central San José. I wish the staff would have been more courteous and welcoming and the breakfast could have been a bit better.

We had such an amazing experience at Posada el Quijote. Prior to arrival, Fernando helped us secure a great deal on a car rental with a company that was conveniently able to do pickup/drop-off at the hotel for no extra charge. The property is a beautiful old private home that has been converted to a boutique hotel with tons of character. Our room was very quiet, daily freshly prepared breakfast was delightful, the pool was lovely, and all staff were fantastic. Fernando was super helpful in assisting us find alternative accommodations when we unexpectedly needed to extend our stay in San Jose as Quijote was fully booked. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to San Jose!

We had a nice big room and we loved the pool area, which came with a stunning view. Breakfast was also great. On the less positive side, we found our bed was creaky and hard, the shower had cold water, and we had a lot of flies around our room. Also, the staff member who checked us in wasn’t very forthcoming with information.

Kind and helpful staff. They surprised us with an upgraded room, which was very spacious and clean. Delicious breakfast made to order, with some unique options on their menu. Beautiful views of the city and there was hot water in the shower. The only negative during our stay was a loud noise all throughout the night - we think the wind was maybe blowing a tree that was hitting against our roof? Overall good stay.

The service was prompt and courteous, room was spotless, bed was perfect, air conditioning made a perfect nights sleep. The hotel was well designed along a hilltop with gorgeous views of San Jose in a quiet neighborhood from all the rooms and lobby. Art accents added personality. Wish I had time to dip in the pool overlooking the city. Breakfast was delightful. Can’t say enough positive about Posada El Quixote! Definitely would return.

My wife and I stayed here for one night before flying out of SJO. The property is beautiful and the views from the pool and living room are incredible both day and night. The property is in a great location and the history behind it is really interesting. There are a few friendly cats that live on the property (one of them hung out under the pool chairs we were sitting on). The free, made to order breakfast was delicious and quick. The only minor inconvenience we had was that the manual gates to enter the parking area were closed and it was unclear whether we were expected to keep them closed after entering/leaving the property

First impressions was “what have I got us into”! Location was not near much and not nearly what was depicted in photos. Booked a Superior Garden view that was in the basement but did have a walkout patio that was dirty and under water. Maids only cleaned when requested. Breakfast was minimal and tasteless. On the positive side the city view from the top floor was spectacular!

Absolutely beautiful inside and out!! Staff was wonderful. We were so tired from driving from Puerto Viejo to San Jose that we just stayed at the hotel the whole night. So we didn't venture out, we just doordashed dinner to the hotel. Breakfast was great! Quiet area away from the hussle of the big city. Great views. The only downfall was parking but we didn't have any real issues with it because the staff had it organized, there was just limited space. Would definitely recommend and we would not hesitate to stay again!

Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob wir das richtige Zimmer bekommen haben. Es war ein Kellerzimmer mit Terrasse, Blick auf eine Wand und eine Pflanze. Der Arbeitsbereich mit Arbeitsgeräten direkt neben uns. Die anderen Zimmer waren bedeutend besser. Schade!!! Der Blick vom Pool sehr schön, leider immer voller Blätter und Zoeten, gibt wohl keinen Service. Frühstück war minimalistisch, aber frisch. Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich, nicht alle hilfsbereit.

The breakfast options were awesome as well. From healthy to standard. Gluten-free and vegan dishes as well.

We took Uber everywhere and it was very affordable. Preferred that to navigating the traffic. Driving around would have stressed us out and I mean, we're on vacation, lol.

It’s a nice quaint place on an off the beaten path. Breakfast is provided everyday which is a plus. I stayed for six nights and during that time the television didn’t work three days out of six. Also, we didn’t have hot water until the fourth day of our stay. Hence the four stars.

Was informed during the stay that we have to request housekeeping-really don’t understand that when you are not allowed to flush toilet paper or sanitary products down the toilet. That should be automatic.

Overall the staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. The beds were soft and the views from the rooms were awesome.

This place was pleasant surprise near San Jose city center. The staff is friendly and polite. The property is well maintained and spacious. The hotel offers free parking inside the premises but it’s limited. We stayed at a Deluxe room with pool/city view and it was wonderful! They offer different options for breakfast a la carte style, what we ordered was acceptable. One thing to note is that this property is full of cats, I counted like around 10 and they are everywhere. This wasn’t and issue for me or my wife but keep this in mind if you’re allergic or simply don’t like them. I do think that with a few upgrades this B&B hotel could be the perfect place because all the potential is already there. Overall we enjoyed our stay and I will definitely come back.

Comfortable, friendly stay

We stayed two nights at the start of our trip. The hotel arranged a taxi for us (Uber would probably be cheaper). Traffic was heavy so took about 50 mins or so, but it should be quicker.

Hotel is quiet, and nice location on a hill. The pool and gardens are nice, plus the resident cats and dog keep you company in the grounds.

Breakfast was made to order from a good set of options, and really nice. Room was good size and comfortable.

Only downside, there was not much within easy walking distance. We got an Uber into the city (super easy) and a bus back (not so easy). Then ordered from Just Eat for dinner and ate out in the gardens.

Breakfast was wonderful every morning. Gate is locked at night so you have to wait for gate keeper to get back in late. We tipped all the staff when we left for their amazing hospitality.

The best boutique stay in San Jose

This was one of the best boutique hotel stays I’ve ever been too! Everything was amazing - the view is incredible and it feels like you're living in a Spanish mansion. Every room is different and they even had a game room/library. I will stay here every time I visit San Jose.

It is a simple yet effective place. The front desk is extremely helpful and supportive. It is a quite place 1 km from Escazú area where you can explore. If you are looking for glam this is not your place but if your good with exploring and simplicity then it is perfect. Great job!!.

Absolutely beautiful space. Nice and neat rooms. A shared pool with a view of San jose.
\"All\" was an absolute sweetheart at the reception. He gave lots of good recommendations for activities around the area. For the new yorkers going there definitely chat with him !
FOR THE CAT LOVERS this space is surrounded by cats that are completely friendly. Smart idea to have them around to keep the pests away.

Will definitely be recommding this place .

This property was great if you wanted to be close to San Jose. But if you’re looking to explore, I recommend you leave this location for your last days because there’s not many activities close by other than the city. The hotel has a bunch of cats and a dog called Luna. The pool is not in nice condition as is rusty but the VIEW is amazing from the pool and the balcony if you get one. The room was pretty spacious (got the king size bed room). With the cleaning I just felt like they didn’t really clean other than put new towels maybe but the room was prepared every time we got back to the hotel except for one day that they missed. One thing I didn’t like was the curtains were too light, no blackouts our anything… by 5am you were awake because of the sun coming through. The food breakfast provided was great. The guys at the from were also very nice and helpful and gave me lots of advice on where to go. Overall this was a 3.7/5

This was a beautiful property with even better staff. They were so friendly and helpful. We had a late night flight and while we had to check out at 11am, they let us stay to use the pool and hang outside on their beautiful terrace all day. We would come back here anytime. Great views of San Jose and super helpful staff.

My boyfriend and I had an AMAZING stay here. Front desk was so helpful, they can accommodate tours for you and shuttles to/from airport. The breakfast was delicious. The cats and dog were a highlight as a couple kept us company our entire stay. The pool was great and clean, we will definitely be coming back! You can access Ubers easily from this location as well but we honestly didn’t mind walking around. The view was great each day.

We had a wonderful 2-night stay! The grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, with a lot of charm. The concierges were very warm and attentive, and served breakfast themselves. It felt almost like a bed-and-breakfast, and was away from the hubub of the city center (you see the skyline from the pool!). Would definitely stay there again!

Nice but noisy

The place was nice, but if you're a light sleeper it can be kind of noisy. My husband, on the other hand, had no issues sleeping through the night. They are animal friendly too which also didn't fair well with my cat allergies.

Good service and excellent views, the the place is not convenient to anything. You do need a car to be there, and nothing is within walking distance. That said, there are no side walks and it is dangerous to walk.
Also, parking is limited, so be sure to call in to say you have a car.
The cicadas were particularly loud the day we were there. The decibel level was between 75-85 db, which I realize, there is nothing they can do about it short of getting sound proof windows.
Staff is very nice, and professional. Breakfast was good.

Thumbs up from family of 3

This hotel was one of the best we stayed at during our 2 week trip to Costa Rica. The hotel was clean, well-designed, had great breakfast and an amazing pool and view. Our 7 year old loved the friendly cats that live outside and also loved finding the hidden trampoline. The owners and staff were also super friendly and helpful. The area was also very safe. Highly recommended

This is my absolute favorite hotel, when staying in the San Jose area. The pool and gardens are beautiful and filled with butterflies. The friendly cats and dog are delightful. The pool is beautiful and there is an incredible view of the city skyline through Palm trees from the pool and pool deck. And I can’t say enough good things about, the staff. Extremely friendly and helpful. For the price, this is one of the very best hotels I have experienced anywhere in the world. And that is saying a lot because I’ve stayed in hotels in 40 countries.
