The hotel is extremely clean and well-maintained with secure parking. The meal we had at the restaurant Azotea was phenomenal. Breakfast was more European-style than typical Costa Rican fare, but generous, delicious, and beautifully prepared. Gracious and attentive staff, we really enjoyed our stay.

The hotel staff are very nice and professional. My problem was Room 500 (The Loft) had the bed on a platform about five feet above the floor which required going up 5-6 step stairway to get to the bed. No night table for glasses, phone, etc. Only one way to get into the bed so the entrance needed to be choreographed as to how and when to get into and out of the bed for two people. The TV was under the bed with shag rug and bean bag chairs so we had to crawl under the bed to watch TV, which had such a low volume that we could barely hear or understand the movie dialogue. The room is not good for seniors due to these issues.

I was disappointed with the check in. I arrived about 30 min before check in. The room was not ready. They told me it might take 45 min before the room is ready. I ask if any room available, they said none. So I just waiting in the couch by the lobby. However as I waited, I saw a few couples that checked in and the room was available. I checked again an hour later, over 30min past check in time and my room was still not ready. I had to wait till 45min past check in time before my room was ready. Very disappointed. They knew I was waiting, and they could not get the room ready by checkin in time. They needed 1h15min after I arrived before my room was ready while they knew I was waiting. It showed there was no priority to clean my room as it shouldn’t take that long to clean a room.

From the moment we arrived this hotel was a wonderful experience. The entire staff was friendly and welcoming. The breakfast buffet was wonderful with a variety of local and traditional dishes to suit everyone with the best coasta rican coffee. Don’t miss the rooftop bar. The rooms were lovely. Right in the middle of downtown, walking distance to everything. They also offer a fair conversion rate from US dollars to colones. Exceptionally clean boutique hotel.

this gem was tucked away and barely noticeable from the bustle of the streets. warm staff greeted you at the top of the stairway and bags were carried to a our spotless room overlooking the busy streets of San Jose. Boutique hotel adorned with plants and accent wooden beams. breakfast was the highlight, with a variety of fruits, rice and beans, hash, and breads to satisfy our vegan diet, accompanied with good coffee made for a solid start to a day of exploring.
