“This boutique property stands out thanks to its prime location in the historic Barrio Amon, a convenient base for exploring San Jose's cultural attractions; plus, the friendly, bilingual staff goes above and beyond to ensure a comfortable stay, while free tea, coffee, and breakfast are nice perks. While some rooms facing the street might be a bit noisy, the building's 1929 mansion ambiance offers an authentic Costa Rican experience. It's a solid choice for those seeking an affordable, centrally located hotel with character.”

the breakfast service was ok, it offered some choice and seemed to be made fresh, i guess.
my room faced the street and it was noisy. party sounds went on until the early morning hours, like 4 am or something. the front desk didnt care much when i complained about the noise, like they are used to it.

Romantic Getaway in the Heart of the City
super king bedcharming roomdelicious breakfast
My beloved and I found pure bliss in a charming room. We were enchanted by the décor of the suite. The super king bed was very large and soft. We slept very well. The breakfast included in our stay was great.
The street noise did filter into our room a bit.
