    Restaurant is limited - although an extensive menu it's difficult to believe that much of it can be fresh - more fast food, and there is a good choice of restaurants near

    Staff were very helpful and considerate. The lady who runs the restaurant was particularly friendly. The location is very convenient for the before or after visiting the airport and it is in a particularly safe area. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean and bright

    Nothing to complain about

    Everything. Stuff so sweet. Rooms super clean. Food really good. After living more than 8 years in Costa Rica and testing a lot of hotels I can clearly say that this hotel is one of the best I’ve been to. I will come back

    Pool fairly tiny but as we just spent one night it was not a big deal.

    It was a good stopover spot outside of San Jose. Very clean and had friendly staff. It was our first experience with locals in CR. We did not use it as a base to explore the surrounding area so are not aware of nearby attractions.

    Compared to the standard of Costa Rica, San José is much cheaper and better value for money. This was a comfortable place, clean and with friendly and helpful staff.

    Location doesn't have many restaurants or cafes at walking distance, but if you have a car it's not really a thing

    The beds, pillows, were so comfortable. Nice room, nice shower. No humid or bad smells. Good wifi. Great breakfast. They have a restaurant for dinner as well. Staff was super kind and helpful. Even arranged a breakfast to go because I had a surgery that day. Place is beautiful and quiet. I've been in around 5 different «nice»hotels in San Jose. Finally found the one ill be coming back to.

    The pool wasn't very clean. Breakfast was great but something seemed to be missing each day, usually toast. The room could have had a place to hang nice clothes.

    The staff was very helpful in giving directions on where to go and what to see. Arranged transport to the places we needed to get to, including to and from the airport.

    Food was a little pricey and less choice than we’d hoped for. But what we did have was really lovely. (We were too tired to eat out and breakfast was included though was tricky to understand what was on offer. If you choose granola, yogurt and fruit- the granola is a garnish - not the main event)

    Staff couldn’t have been more helpful or accommodating. Place was quiet, clean, modern but attractive and the gardens though tiny were lovely (with pool and seating area). Not a big hotel or impersonal. If we wanted something (taxi) we asked for it but otherwise they left us alone to enjoy. If you’re there in rainy season - the restaurant is a block, the rooms are in blocks, reception is a block, with external pathways to connect to. Could get wet.
