Located in the centre of San José, Fleur de Lys offers individually decorated rooms set in a Victorian mansion. It features an attractive terrace, gardens and a restaurant.

The Fleur de Lys’ individually decorated rooms feature local art work. They have cable TV, free Wi-Fi and a private bathroom. I love the location being 500 steps from my favorite restaurant. Also the whole vibe of the place is excellent with it being a former house.
