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.

I love their garden and their breakfast. Also the friendly and helpful staff are a plus. The first room I stayed #18, needs a cleaner sink area. It’s not adequate, not to standards. The location adjacent to the main university grounds is excellent.

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.

Se encuentra cerca a la Universidad de Costa Rica, pero no hay mucho cercano. Por lo mismo, uno depende del café Kracovia que cuenta con una carta adecuada y a un precio razonable. Cuenta con un buen desayano y el staff es amable.

Hotel with a great and relaxing atmosphere

The hotel has a wonderful atmosphere and kind staff. Even with the construction on the road in front of the hotel, it feels secluded and we had an enjoyable stay. The restaurant at the front of the property made it easy to return in the evening and relax with our group while having a good meal. The menu has a lot of options. I’d stay at the hotel again.
