8.0

El hotel tiene una gran exposición de máscaras, muchas de ellas del tamaño de una persona. Muy pintoresca la decoración. El desayuno es completo. Algunas opciones las cocinaban en el momento con los ingredientes que uno eligiera. El personal muy amable.

La habitación tenía un olor desagradable, quizá producto de la humedad. No ofrecen toallas de mano. Solo había dos toallones. Tampoco ofrecen champú ni acondicionador. Parece ser que por el precio del hotel, estas cosas no están incluidas.

Bad art, Poorer service

5.0

Conveniently located to downtown San Jose. Housekeeping was done well. The night receptionist was friendly.

Breakfast hotel employees were not welcoming. They watched us as we chose our food as if we hadn't already paid to be there. We were not wastefu, as the food itself was good and we do not serve ourselves what we won't eat. On our last morning there the water went out and my husband was not able to shower, he had to use the dripping sink water to rinse off. I understand it wasn't something the hotel could control but there was zero effort to check on guests. We were given only a half hearted apology at the desk upon checkout. Some additional side notes: the restroom sink has a terrible design making it really hard to wash hands without spilling water out; there was no AC or fan in the room, wouldn't be as much a problem if we had access to windows but ours led directly to the attached restaurant; also i was just not a fan of some of the art, especially the diablos and witches (this is a personal preference but if I'd read on review beforehand I could've made better decision)

Prima plek voor verblijf in San Jose

9.0

Leuk plekje in rustige wijk met een lekker restaurant er direct naast. Dat is handig bij eerste avond aankomst in Costa Rica. Kamer was keurig schoon en hotel zelf was ook leuk aangekleed. En een lekker ontbijt!

Het was allemaal prima voor elkaar
