    Our home in San José! For our third stay at Posada el Quijote, we were treated to a wonderful surprise — an upgrade to a stunning suite. The kids were absolutely thrilled, and we enjoyed a fantastic evening before drifting off to sleep in the most comfortable beds. The staff are attentive, the breakfasts delicious, and the gardens and views simply breathtaking. For us, there’s no doubt: Posada el Quijote is the place to stay in San José. We’re already planning our next visit, this time with our extended family!"

    Driving to the hotel is a bit hard. A huge hill to drive up. But once you get there it’ll be worth every penny and the stress. Don’t let this discourage your booking bc you don’t want to miss out on this hotel .

    The rooms are nice! The views were amazing!! The staff were very friendly and welcoming.

    Nothing

    Good place to start or end your trip through Costa Rica. Far away from the city and noise but approachable easily by uber. Beautiful view over the skyline and a nice pool. Cute cats around. It has everything you need and nice details. You really feel cared for. Would come back anytime.

    The only thing to note is that there are no restaurants within walking distance. However, Uber Eats works very well here, and enjoying a meal with the stunning city view is actually a real treat.

    Our whole family truly enjoyed our stay at Posada el Quijote — from the beautiful gardens and the breathtaking view over the city, to the stunning view from our room and the delicious breakfast. This was our second stay here, and I believe Posada el Quijote is well on its way to becoming a tradition for our visits to San José. Highly recommended!

    Just a heads-up: the property can be a little tricky to find, at least when using Google Maps.

    "An unforgettable stay! The property is simply incredible, with a stunning pool and breathtaking views over the city of San José. This former villa exudes a unique charm and character you can feel the moment you arrive. Breakfasts are delicious, fresh, and beautifully served each morning. Special mention to the maître d'hotel, who is not only welcoming but also exceptionally attentive and helpful. A true gem in the heart of San José — highly recommended!"

    The bedroom was comfortable, although the ceiling fan was a bit wonky. The bathroom was a decent size, but the shower area could use better lighting. There was also a bit of a lack in countertop space and electrical outlets, which made it a little less convenient.

    The house has an awesome view and beautiful design—both inside and out. The neighborhood was peaceful, and we especially loved the friendly local cats that would occasionally wander by. The hosts were very accommodating and thoughtful, even providing a blue towel specifically for dirty clothes and shoes.

    Loved everything!

    This property is something you read about in a book. It is very quaint with a fantastic view of the city. It makes you feel like you are staying in an island villa with beautiful grounds and unique rooms. The managers at the front desk were so welcoming and willing to help us in any way they could from airport drop offs to helping us pick a place to get dinner. There are shared living rooms which is so nice to have a quiet afternoon to read/relax. The breakfast menu, which is included in your stay, is pretty extensive- the food was great! The property is also home to a few cats that were so sweet and friendly, so if you love animals, this is the place for you!

    Everything was perfect.

    The staff is incredibly friendly, and the location feels safe and clean. I especially appreciated the presence of cats around the property—they add charm without being intrusive, which is great even if you’re not a cat lover. For breakfast, you choose from a menu and they prepare everything fresh, which I really enjoyed!

    We had a power outage during our stay for about 6 hours - we weren't kept updated about when this would be fixed and it took staff about 3 hours just to source candles.
