I highly recommend this hotel. The people were fabulous. The area really wasn’t bad at all and you can walk to downtown. It’s central market just about where you wanted to go so I definitely recommend it. Awesome hotel. ##### Lina Stayed 16 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Hadria Oct 24, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort #### Great Place to Stay on a Budget It is a great place for the price. We stayed there in a pinch when our travel plans didn't go as planned. The staff was friendly and very helpful. The rooms are a bit small, but that's fine if you're just looking for someplace clean to rest for the night on a budget. Also, the two restaurants on the first floor had very good food and great service. ##### Hadria Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Conny Mar 7, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great location, friendly staff Friendly and nice staff. Quite comfortable. Very good location, in city center of San Jose, was able to walk everywhere. Supermarkets, convenience stores, fast food are near. Great sodas located on the first floor, under the hotel. Very good price overall. Someone here complained: The hot water is near the beginning of the knob as opposed to the back. There are some roaches in the bathroom and they stayed near there, which is the only downside. ##### Conny Stayed 7 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### justin Jun 3, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff were really nice and helped me out but the rooms were really small.

Rooms are very basic but sufficient. The hotel is located close to the downtown area. The neighborhood is safe but looks dumpy and is noisy. Ear plugs help. There are lots of homeless. Overall, this hotel is a good value. There is a lot of food options. Again, the neighborhood will look scary but its actually very safe. ##### Bradford Chester Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Allen Mar 10, 2024 No English speaking channels on the TV The MTS did not work… frustrating Good clean economical room With private bath. ##### Allen Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nohemias Jul 20, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Very very small room too many stairs to get to the room and really near near stairs and very very small bathroom everything's really small I won't stay in a place no more ##### Nohemias Stayed 1 night in Jul 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Guillermo Sep 29, 2024 N/C ##### Guillermo Stayed 4 nights in Sep 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Yipeng Dec 9, 2023 Liked: Staff & service Not really worth it considering the price ##### Yipeng Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Alexios Jan 13, 2025 Pros: Strong wifi. Bearable for a night or two. Cons: Little insects (baby cockroaches?) in the room at night. Small room. The ceiling fan's switch cord was broken so it was always on with the room's light. Room with window facing the corridor, not outside like the internet photos. Uncomfortable and short mattress. No english speaking staff. No hangers. ##### Alexios Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Gustavo A Murillo Jun 15, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities Rooms provide no privacy. Anyone can hear even if you fart. Bed sheets must be replaced \[they are washed, but maybe because they're old\]. No A/C. And once again, no privacy. ##### Gustavo A Murillo Stayed 9 nights in Apr 2024 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jesus Nov 20, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service There was unseen circumstances and was unable to make it to my room. I let them know ahead of time but they wouldn’t refund me for cancellation. ##### Jesus Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Delia Nov 29, 2023 Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I reserved 2 months before and text them 3 days before to ask about the check in because my flight arrived at 12 am and they answered that there is not problem but when we arrived at midnight under the rain the said: no reservations and no room available, then we had to paid a taxi to another hotel. ##### Delia Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Jordan Nov 19, 2024 This hotel is close to the main road in San Jose and the room itself wasn’t too bad for the price but that is where the positives end. It was our first time staying San Jose and the impression that was left with us was a dirty and gross city. Im sure there are nice areas but don’t expect anything better from the area this hotel is in. The walls separating the rooms are like cardboard and we could hear moaning from the sex workers multiple times per night. Other than the moaning the noise from other people in the hotel was also very loud. On our second and final night a man checking in to his room tried to open our door while walking down the hallway. Sleeping here was difficult which is ironic for a hotel called “Hotel el Descanso” and that is why I am leaving behind a bad review. ##### Jordan Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Zhong Jan 30, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service #### budget friendly helpful staff, convenient location I like the location, halfway between the cathedral and Sabana park. There's always someone at the front desk. The gate is locked, so you ring a bell for someone to open it. Feels safe. I arrived at midnight, and was able to get into my room. I had some problem with an ATM machine, and one lady at the front desk helped me to call the bank. Fan works, but very noisy. Pretty good wifi. Now the negative: no place to hang anything. No cups. Street noise and the door bell are not good for light sleepers. Thin curtain. Overall, worth the price. ##### Zhong Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### giovanna May 25, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Cockroach party. Literally felt like I had to beg for room service, towels, toilet paper, garbage changes etc. we literally got in trouble for TALKING the room at late hours. The walls are extremely paper thin. And there is a “window” that faces towards the hallway in the bathroom so all noise carries throughout the building. There is no AC. The worst part of it all was I felt like I was being scammed because when my guest would come visit, one of the staff would charge 5,000 colones and some wouldn’t. So I wasn’t sure if the money was getting pocketed. The hotel is very close to San Jose central market and all the hot spots. But it is located on a weird one way corner that a lot of Ubers have difficulty picking up from therefore they would cancel a lot and no near by taxis :(. ##### giovanna Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Allen Jan 22, 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Be Warned: avoid this hotel, the room amenities presented by expedia.ca, are misleading, and are often not provided by the hotel. The hotel will not provide any customer service to resolve the issues, and they will not refund you. Expedia.ca needs to revise their listing info because the room info they are presenting is misleading. I know since the past two years, I have booked several stays on expedia.ca at hotel Descanso. My most recent reservation for Jan 21, for a single room, the online room info clearly displays: one twin bed, private bath, city view, ceiling, fan, free Wi-Fi, 32 inch LED TV, and cable channels. These amenities were not provided, which is misleading and unacceptable. Worse, the hotel management made no effort to resolve matters, despite being a repeat customer. And so I declined to stay, and the hotel refused to refund what I had prepaid online for the accommodation. In fact, only a few rooms actually have a city view. Most of the rooms are located off the noisy second and third floor corridors, with no city view, and no fresh air, and are hot, and insecure. The 32 inch LED TVs tend to be cheap old models, often the remote controls do not work. The cable TV system was not functioning, and another hotel guest told me that the cable TV had not been functioning for several days. The hotel amenities offered on expedia.ca are not in fact provided by the hotel. So I urge expedia customers to not reserve this hotel.

Expedia.ca needs to revise their listing info because the room info they are presenting is misleading. I know since the past two years, I have booked several stays on expedia.ca at hotel Descanso. My most recent reservation for Jan 21, for a single room, the online room info clearly displays: one twin bed, private bath, city view, ceiling, fan, free Wi-Fi, 32 inch LED TV, and cable channels. These amenities were not provided, which is misleading and unacceptable. Worse, the hotel management made no effort to resolve matters, despite being a repeat customer. And so I declined to stay, and the hotel refused to refund what I had prepaid online for the accommodation. In fact, only a few rooms actually have a city view. Most of the rooms are located off the noisy second and third floor corridors, with no city view, and no fresh air, and are hot, and insecure. The 32 inch LED TVs tend to be cheap old models, often the remote controls do not work. The cable TV system was not functioning, and another hotel guest told me that the cable TV had not been functioning for several days. The hotel amenities offered on expedia.ca are not in fact provided by the hotel. So I urge expedia customers to not reserve this hotel.
