I liked the welcome as soon as I arrived. All the details for using the remote controls were explained in detail and where I could get a meal locally. I found the staff really nice and well presented. The room was a large inviting place with lovely paintings on the walls. Good aircon and in a quiet place on the balcony above the beautiful pool where they have 2 inquisitive turtles and Koi carp. It's a small haven surrounded by beautiful palms. Breakfast is good with fresh fruits, juice and great coffee. There's also homemade breads and jams which are nice. I would stay here again.

Unfortunately the room I was in was quite noisy. Sounded like a generator on most of the night. My second night I was woken up at 2am with what sounded like trapped air in the water pipes. The staff and the breakfast made up for it though. I still would return but maybe not in the same room..

Staff are very friendly and helpful. Lovely exterior surround you with palm trees, apple trees and abundant greenery. There's a beautiful little pond with koi carp and 2 inquisitive turtles. It's a small paradise and calm haven.

It was a little dated and not as close to the city center as was described. 15 min taxi to shopping center and restaurant.

They had a nice breakfast and the staff was very friendly.

It’s a little old but that adds to the charm.

Quiet neighborhood, close to many places, cozy atmosphere.

The shower was just ok, not quite hot water and low pressure.

Lovely people who are working there. Made us feel very comfortable. The garden is beautiful and adds great charm. Food was delicious. A little gem in the city.

The refrigerator didn’t work, lights need replacing, not hot water in the shower, mattresses need replacing, overall an ok place for the price for an older building. If you want a lunch or dinner better tell them ahead of time. No one was there for dinner times advertised.

Great location, nice little dining area with great continental and other breakfast options, a very old building in need of some repair/ replacement of old items.

The rooms could use a bit of love/decoration.

Great place to stay if you plan to stay one or two nights when you arrive in San Jose, well located between the airport and the center. Nice breakfast and dining area.

MOSQUITOSSSS my God... they were hard on us during breakfast... use repellent before going for breakfast! NOBODY is opening the doors when you arrive late at night!! beware of that issue specially like us that arrived on a 5 hours late flight from Houston... NOBODY answered by phone or at the front door, only the guard from the main road helped us to enter.

Location, location... its very important! close to the USA embassy. There is only two spaces for parking but the guard is around all night.! The place still needs some details to cover but it is very good. The front desk is very polite and they helped a lot !

The building is older but charming, the furniture in the bedroom was a bit eclectic and older.

Great breakfast, beautiful inside garden, I felt like we woke up in the jungle with the birds singing in the garden. We got in late 9:30 pm, were able to grab some food at a little Mercado close by and came back to dine in their outdoor bar area, lovely.

The property was very nice for the price. The restaurant was an added bonus, homemade pizza was delicious and breakfast was included in the price. I would definitely stay here again. Very friendly staff!

There was quite a noise in our room. Also breakfast was really basic and you need to pay for extra eggs, pancakes, ...

The garden was amazing, especially for the kids.
