This is a simple hotel in a northern suburb of San Jose with off-street parking. The owner is responsive and professional, the room was quiet at night (less so during the day) and the bed comfortable. I was able to do some work in the lounge area.

I highly recommend this hostel! I stayed here three different times for a night, and every time it felt so welcoming – just like home. Everything is very clean, the beds are comfortable, the showers are hot, and there’s even a TV with Disney+/Netflix/Prime… just perfect! The place is designed with so many thoughtful details: a fully equipped kitchen, hair dryers, shower products, extra blankets if needed… you really feel that everything has been thought of for the guests’ comfort. The staff has been incredibly kind and helpful – they even let me leave some of my belongings a couple of times, always with such friendliness and quick responses. The automated check-in system makes everything super easy as well. For me, it’s the perfect place to stay for a night or two before exploring the rest of Costa Rica. A huge thank you to the whole team 🌸

The view from the rooftop was amazing. The apartment was very clean, cosy and comfortable. It was well stocked with all required amenities/equipment. We were very sad that we stayed here only for a short night because we didn’t get to try the pool/other amenities but everything looked great.

The best place I had in Panama and Costa Rica. It felt warm and cozy. Its a beautifull building and everything is well taken care of. The inside patio is a really nice place to sit and the kitchen has everything you need. The lady of the house makes ypu feel really welcome. I will be back before I leave.
