We had a 2 night trip in San Jose after “roughing it” for 2 weeks all over Costa Rica. We splurged on this place so we could get some good rest and we did! Also really liked the hot tub. We did not eat in the restaurant (very pricy) but found a wonderful cafe around the corner for breakfast. Would go back.

For the price I would expect a much nicer room. It’s clean and bed is comfortable but it’s cramped and dark the restaurant is very good. Next time we’ll just eat here.

Excellent staff, from the reception desk and housekeeping to the waiters in the restaurant, outstanding. Of course this includes the kitchen staff who provided exquisite meals. The ambiance is charming and warm, will stay there again. Great boutique hotel - 40 or so bedrooms in total - with a good location to explore San Jose.By the way, at an astonishing low price.
