Staff is great. Rooms are basic but good. Bed is very comfortable. Gym is far from good and the place is a bit noisy, still would recommend. Breakfast is fantastic!

Buen trato traducido en una buena experiencia
Desde la llegada el trato fue excepcional... Se esmeraron en hacernos sentir cómodos y en confianza. Si bien las habitaciones son sencillas, se nivela con el lujo que implicó el trato recibido.

Great place to stay
It is a charming hotel with very friendly service. I love the decor and many kinds of flowers. Located so close to the University - 5 minutes and you are on campus. Hotel will arrange tourist trips. Took one last time which was great (coffee plantation, volcanos etc). Would gladly stay there again.

charming & very convenient to UCR
Lovely little island of tranquility in the middle of San José! The hotel is right next to the University of Costa Rica and has a nice bistro-style restaurant on the grounds. Everyone is very friendly and completely fluent in English (maybe other languages, too!). The space includes a lovely courtyard with sculptures, and breakfast is included.

Hotel de Trabajo en Costa Rica
El hotel es perfecto para una estancia de trabajo, debido a lo cercano que se encuentra de la Universidad de Costa Rica. El único detalle del porqué no fue calificado con 100 es porqué el baño de la habitación 1 no tenía buen desagüe la ducha y fue comunicado al personal, atendieron la falla pero no solucionaron el problema.
