Pros: I have been in and out of Costa Rica for 2 years. This property had no barking dogs, no trains, and especially no loud bar music at night. Occasionally, one or two guests would be unruly late at night, but the staff handled it well.

Pros: Nice hotel in a centre of San Jose. The room was clean, the staff ver friendly and helpful. The hotel is right in the centre, so we managed to explore the city and all the sights on foot. The breakfast was good and the selection was sufficient. I can highly recommend the hotel.

Would stay here again.

Pros: Fabulous location - we loved being i the heart of the old district with museums, restaurants, the park and the market all close at hand. The street was closed to vehicles and was a great walk. We really enjoyed the festive atmosphere on Saturday day and evening.

Cons: The room was a bit noisy during the day but quiet at night - so all good.
