4/10 Fair

Dont go here! Let me first say i dont do bad reviews or comments but the reviews i read and what i got were not the same. I also want to say im a backpacker and im used to sleeping on the ground so my standerds are not high. 2 days we didnt have water. They ebed up fixing it after about a hour each time. No parking, you have to park 2 blocks away at 2 dollars a hour, do the math if you leave your car because you book trips, and they pick you up it adds up really quick not counting the meter is running when your sleeping, and if you get back late at night its a scary walk back to the hotel at night. spend the extra cash for a hotel that has parking. all the staff but one was good! We stayed a week left a day early. Rooms were horrable and i do not have high standerds at all again. Last night we found a much better hotel near the air port with parking and shuttel. This was my first trip to c.r. i would highly recomand staying outside of s.j. and drive in for the day, night time can get pretty hairy. The good: staff was good and at day time you are smake in the middel of down town market. The bad: the room, parking, night time safty, no water when you try to take a shower

Hôtel pratique pour les gens qui veulent être dans le centre de vie et proche du marché couvert de SAN JOSE. Après, l'hôtel est propre mais avec des équipements assez vétuste.

The staff was very helpful to assist me in setting up my local Sim card. Also the breakfast was delicious and finding the fridge stocked with juice and beer and snacks was another nice touch.

Bra läge!
Fantastiskt läge mitt på gågatan i centrum. Mycket trevligt bemötande o hjälpsam personal. Hotellet var gammalt o slitet, men för oss passade det utmärkt för en övernattning på väg vidare mot kusten.

Um pouco velho mas legal!
Os quartos da frente são barulhentos mas tem uma vista interessante da cidade. Chuveiro fraco, carpete desagradável, mas é bem mobiliado e amplo. Pessoal correto mas nem sempre muito amigável. Exceção para Luiz, um recepcionista amável e prestativo e a senhora do café da manhã.

Hotel is in a great location in downtown San Jose. Everything you need is well within walking distance. Staff was very friendly and helpful.
Mike, 11-night trip

6/10 Good

The hotel looked old and rundown, there was a weird scent in our room. The hotel was on a street that cars couldn't access, so we had to get picked up and dropped off around the corner and walk. The hotel was in a very busy area and there were a few restaurants within walking distance. I had never been to San Jose before, so I'm not sure if the whole city is this way, but I didn't feel like the hotel was in the safest area. The hotel staff was friendly enough, especially the man who checked us out in the morning- he called a taxi for us and was chatting with us while we waited. Complimentary breakfast was fine- nothing fancy.

En el corazón de San José
Muy buen hotel, justo frente al Teatro Nacional, frente a la plaza de la cultura y más lugares de interés. A dos cuadras del Museo del Jade y a tres del Museo de Historia Nacional. Personal muy amable y con espíritu de servicio. La vista del hotel es maravillosa.

Single traveler.
No frills hotelt in great downtown location. If you enjoy lots of shopping, lots of places to eat and lots of people of all ages and economic statis then this hotel is a good place to consider. Breakfast is basic but good. I enjoy staying at the El Maragato hotel.
