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!

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.
