We met Jesse, the manager, at the time who was very professional, and figured out a way to deal with someone who could not speak Spanish. Our rooms were exceptionally clean, Netflix was available. The water was hot and the beautiful patio was very inviting! Across the street is the museum of Jade and of course many other historical museums and neighborhoods to walk in and visit. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Hotel Cando! ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn Dec 10, 2022 ##### Lynn Stayed 1 night in Dec 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Maria F Oct 7, 2022 ##### Maria F Stayed 1 night in Oct 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### rafael Aug 29, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Bonito patio interior muy chill out ##### rafael Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Juan Francisco Aug 2, 2022 ##### Juan Francisco Stayed 1 night in Aug 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### ISABELLE Mar 3, 2022 ##### ISABELLE Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### margarita Feb 1, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort ##### margarita Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Jocelyn Jan 22, 2022 ##### Jocelyn Stayed 4 nights in Jan 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Ricky Dec 22, 2021 Liked: Staff & service Staff was very friendly and prompt Great price Everything is within walking distance place had a stale smell I purchased aerosol spray and Clorox Refrigerator exterior was rusty ##### Ricky Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### Verified traveller Dec 18, 2021 ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Damon Nov 6, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great Value! I have stayed here over the years and always have enjoyed the location and value. The service has always been excellent, with friendly staff. Location is great if you like staying in central San Jose. You have supermarkets within a minute. This is a little Gem that is great on the pocket book and clean. Hot water is solid. ##### Damon Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carlos, Bloomfield Oct 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Courtyard ##### Carlos Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Josep Jul 26, 2021 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Otra opción de alojamiento en San José En efecto, se trata de un oasis de cierta tranquilidad en el bullicio del centro de San José. Se trata de un grupo de apartamentos con cocina abiertos a un patio central con vegetación, tal como puede verse en las imágenes. Esta característica hace que los apartamentos tengan poca privacidad (tienes que escoger; o luz natural o privacidad), en especial los de la planta baja ya que los clientes, personal, etc. tienen que atravesar el patio para acceder a las habitaciones. Los apartamentos de la planta baja, son algo más caros y tienen aire acondicionado. Los de la planta superior son algo más económicos, pero no tienen aire acondicionado; según la época de visita, no es necesario (yo estuve a mediados de julio y no lo encontré a faltar). La cocina es pequeña, pero suficiente para cortas estancias. Hay pocos platos, cubiertos, etc. y no en demasiado buen estado. Habría que renovar algunas piezas. A la llegada tuve que fregarlo todo, estaba bastante sucio. Justo al lado del hotel hay dos grandes supermercados, muy convenientes. También hay restaurantes, pero al tener cocina (y por el tema del COVID) no los visité. La cama es cómoda y el baño está bien. Por la televisión sólo pueden verse dos canales privados, tipo netflix. No puede verse ningún canal nacional, lo cual para mí es un inconveniente. Los encargados son extremadamente amables, aunque en ocasiones son difíciles de encontrar. Durante toda la noche hay alguien en recepción. ##### Josep Stayed 8 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lais Apr 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### La mejor experiencia en hospedaje La limpieza es buena, mucha ventilación. Por el precio, es la mejor estadía Que he tenido hasta el momento, solo hay opción de Netflix y YouTube. El personal es extremadamente amable, como en ninguna otra parte, te hacen sentir muy bien y la ubicación muy céntrico en la capital ##### Lais Stayed 1 night in Apr 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### James, Atlanta Jan 11, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities This property is a peaceful clean and most convenient location Best price in town Walk out the door and you are where you want to be.

Had to buy my own ice tray. No locking screens on doors, so you left your door open. Positive is the friendly, courteous, and knowledge of the Staff, Antonio is helpful and Awesome, great asset for the owner ##### BillMayse Stayed 19 nights in Nov 2020 ### 6/10 Okay #### Emanuel Mar 22, 2020 Liked: Staff & service #### Habitación din aire acondicionado ni ventilación El lugar eataba bonito pero la habitacion que nos toco no tenia ventilacion ni aire acondicionado por el se sentia mucho bochorno. ##### Emanuel Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin, Houston Feb 26, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location in San Jose. And a great and friendly staff. ##### Kevin Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Feb 19, 2020 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities No sign outside; difficult to find. 'Full' breakfast option is a scam; you only get a voicher for $4 discount. Poor construction; you can hear everything in adjacent rooms. No hot water in sink. No screens on doors; great climate outside ... but can't enjoy without letting in many mosquitos. Very few rooms have A/C; travelers should read the fine print on every room before choosing. The 'blackout' curtain is just a pull down shade that doesn't cover the window. Overall, beautiful courtyard ... but everything else about this property is disappointing. Would never stay here again ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Feb 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities gardens were lovely and the location and outdoor seating area ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gabriel Feb 12, 2020 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Gabriel Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig Feb 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Besides being a little hard to find due to lack of signage otherwise the apartment was very good for the price with good location and English speaking helpful staff ##### Craig Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cariari - San Jose Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Cariari-San-Jose-Costa-Rica.h118803.Hotel-Information) > > [Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, San Jose Aeropuerto, Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Country-Inn-Suites-By-Radisson.h1039787.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxhigh Hotel San José](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Del-Rey-Casino.h13333495.Hotel-Information) > > [Crowne Plaza San Jose La Sabana by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Crowne-Plaza-San-Jose-Corobici.h441323.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Markham](https://www.expedia.ca/Markham-Motels.d10353-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotel Mango](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Mango.h29702434.Hotel-Information) > > [Staybridge Suites West Edmonton by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Edmonton-Hotels-Staybridge-Suites-West-Edmonton.h7749122.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn San Jose La Sabana](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-San-Jose-La-Sabana.h10579877.Hotel-Information) > > [Casa Conde Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Casa-Conde-Hotel-Suites.h1219064.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Luxury Akumal - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Akumal-All-Inclusive.h869980.Hotel-Information) > > [Barceló San José](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Barcelo-San-Jose.h788912.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Samana - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/Samana-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Luxury-Samana-Adults-Only.h11843755.Hotel-Information) > > [Luxury Hotels in Muskoka District](https://www.expedia.ca/Destinations-In-Muskoka-District-Luxury-Hotel.0-0-d6343146-tLuxuryHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Gran Hotel Costa Rica, Curio Collection by Hilton](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Gran-Hotel-Costa-Rica.h15745.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-San-Jose-Costa-Rica-Airport.h2303711.Hotel-Information) > > [Bahia Principe Grand Coba - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Bahia-Principe-Grand-Coba-All-Inclusive.h1414071.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton San Jose Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Suites-By-Hilton-San-Jose-Airport.h921872.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Vancouver Downtown Suites](https://www.expedia.ca/Vancouver-Hotels-Delta-Hotels-By-Marriott-Vancouver-Downtown-Suites.h74448.Hotel-Information) > > [Dreams Onyx Resort & Spa All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Punta-Cana-Hotels-Dreams-Onyx-Resort-Spa-All-Inclusive.h14822885.Hotel-Information) > > [Secrets Akumal Riviera Maya - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.ca/Akumal-Hotels-Secrets-Akumal-Riviera-Maya-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h10489505.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Grano de Oro](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Hotel-Grano-De-Oro.h994383.Hotel-Information) > > [Wyndham San Jose Herradura Hotel & Convention Center](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Jose-Hotels-Wyndham-San-Jose-Herradura-Hotel-Convention-Center.h1377921.Hotel-Information) > > [YOTEL New York Times Square](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-YOTEL-New-York.h4182702.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Seattle](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Seattle-Seattle-Hotels.0-n800130-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Delhi (DEL) to Edmonton (YEG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/yeg/delhi-to-edmonton) > > [Flights from Hamilton (YHM) to Paris (CDG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yhm/cdg/hamilton-to-paris) > > [Bahamasair](https://www.expedia.ca/Bahamasair-Flights.cUP.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Austin (AUS)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/aus/toronto-to-austin)
