Mila Monica
The breakfast options were great and healthy. I was also able to access the gym any time I wanted. The staff was very hospitable and helpful.
Tara
Yes! It was really unique and made it easy for me to get a morning workout in with a clear mind. Extensive offerings!
Gwendolyn
Loved this boutique hotel next to the university of costa rico. Stayed here a week. Great breakfast and restaurant on site. Peace in the midst of lovely san jose. Helped me with airport transportation and 2 excursion days. Pura vida
Chloe
This is an authentic experience in an excellent neighborhood. The breakfast was a highlight
Susan
Breakfast was a nice blend of a modest buffett, combined with one menu entree item.
Biggest drawback is Uber doesnt recognize the hotel and places you at the University but it is gated. So you have to walk to corner for pickups.

JUAN CARLOS
We made a pay-at-the-property reservation and provided the company card only as a guarantee. However, the property charged the full amount to the guarantee card, and when the guest arrived, they were told the stay was already paid for. The property should respect the reservation terms, because if we had wanted to prepay, we would have done so—as we have on many other occasions.
Yislén
Calm and quiet.
Juliano
Staff is great. Rooms are basic but good. Bed is very comfortable. Gym is far from good and the place is a bit noisy, still would recommend. Breakfast is fantastic!

Nola
I love their garden and their breakfast. Also the friendly and helpful staff are a plus.
The first room I stayed #18, needs a cleaner sink area. It’s not adequate, not to standards.
The location adjacent to the main university grounds is excellent.

Unique and welcoming environment
Rianne
Great place to stay
It is a charming hotel with very friendly service. I love the decor and many kinds of flowers. Located so close to the University - 5 minutes and you are on campus. Hotel will arrange tourist trips. Took one last time which was great (coffee plantation, volcanos etc). Would gladly stay there again.
Verified traveler
charming & very convenient to UCR
Lovely little island of tranquility in the middle of San José! The hotel is right next to the University of Costa Rica and has a nice bistro-style restaurant on the grounds. Everyone is very friendly and completely fluent in English (maybe other languages, too!). The space includes a lovely courtyard with sculptures, and breakfast is included.
Marjorie
I loved the artsy decor.
Caerllion
Great location. Comfortable and Clean. Unique.
Really cute place. Lots of art and antiques. Nicely decorated. Restuarant on site is good. Beds are comfy. Place is very clean.
Pascal
Very interesting location being embeded in the UCR campus. Hotel feel is that of the countryside while being in the city. Very unique.

Hotel with a great and relaxing atmosphere
The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere and kind staff. Even with the construction on the road in front of the hotel, it feels secluded and we had an enjoyable stay. The restaurant at the front of the property made it easy to return in the evening and relax with our group while having a good meal. The menu has a lot of options. I’d stay at the hotel again.
Norberto
Very interesting property with several seating areas outside. Parking limited but generally not a problem. Some road noise in my room even with shutters closed but with several buildings facing different directions, likely different for all. Friendly staff. Good breakfast.
Verified traveler
This is a very cozy homelike hotel near the University. Excellent breakfast and nearby restaurants includes Friday’s and Krakovia. The staff is very nice and professional. I recommend this hotel highly. Beautiful flowers everywhere!!
Jessica
Tropical paradise in the city
Hotel Ave del Paraíso is a beautiful boutique hotel in San Pedro, near San José central. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. It felt more like a home or bed & breakfast than a hotel, and extremely clean. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and typical for the area.
Verified traveler
This place has a lot of character and the staff is very helpful.

Property is immaculate and staff helpful and friendly, using English. Owner on premises daily. Very warm pool and warm Pacific Ocean beach that is suitable for wading up 100 yards when the tide is in.
There is a very nice tourist town within a 10 minute walk at low tide.

Special hidden oasis
The pictures online do not do this hotel justice. It is a gorgeous hideaway with gorgeous details. I felt like I was in a secret hacienda. The airport shuttle was most welcome and everyone was kind and the breakfast was incredible. Far enough from the airport where I felt like I was in the city yet not so far that it took forever to arrive after a day of flying. Clean and safe.
Yuri
Nice little hotel
Good experience. Near UCR where I came for work purposes. Clean rooms, good shower pressure. Comfy beds. Plenty of food in the sorroundings and best of all at excellent price.
Dian L
Take earplugs if you stay here!
While the hotel itself is charming in a qwerky way, we got ZERO sleep because of the highway noise...in what was supposed to be 2 \"superior' rooms.
Verified traveler
Nice hotel in a great location
The room was good and spacious. The bed was comfortable but the room was getting really hot and the little fan on the ceiling was not helping much. The breakfast was good, with fruit, fresh juice, coffee, ham, gallo pinto, and scrambled eggs. However, if you stay more than a week you will get tired of it as it is exactly the same every day.
The staff is nice very helpful.

Dawn
Best place to stay near UCR
I have stayed here multiple times and have always enjoyed my stay. The breakfast is great, with both typical Costa Rican and continental options. This trip, I wished I had stayed more than one night, because I didn't have time to enjoy my room's balcony at all. My only minor complaint is that the shower leaks water into the bathroom, but that's not untypical in Costa Rica.
Terrencio
Great inexpensive hotel right next to UCR
Clean, funky hotel right next to the University of Costa Rica within walking distance of the city central. Friendly, English-speaking staff. Good inexpensive breakfast.
Verified traveler
The receptionist was very nice, and the breakfast was good.

NOT SO GREAT
Very old hotel, lobby & grounds nice, but rooms very rustic and bathrooms very outdated and very small
Tey
Nice environment, colorful plants nice breakfast.
Rhe bedroom needs improvements, towels had a dirty smell, bedding did not look clean
Verified traveler
Nice place with a great garden but serious humidity problems in the room and mould in the bathroom. No air conditioning and not enough natural ventilation. The breakfast was ok but if you get there at 8am there is not enough food. Overall an ok experience.
Sarah
Beautiful Hotel with Friendly Staff
We had cancelled an extra room and cleared it up with the email provider the next morning. The staff was cordial about it and all went smoothly. Lovely place, staff and typical breakfast - actually better than typical with two kinds of fresh fruit, cereal, jams, juices, gallo pinto and eggs, ham and cheese slices.
Verified traveler
Beautiful, quiet hotel in the city
I have now been at the hotel 3 times. All the rooms are beautiful and extremely comfortable. The location is near the city but very quiet. The staff are helpful if planning excursions. The food is delicious.

Buen trato traducido en una buena experiencia
Desde la llegada el trato fue excepcional... Se esmeraron en hacernos sentir cómodos y en confianza. Si bien las habitaciones son sencillas, se nivela con el lujo que implicó el trato recibido.
