What a great little hotel. We didn’t want to do a chain hotel and we got real lucky with Hotel Cristina. It was close to 3 great restaurants and wasn’t in the touristy region either. Will definitely choose here if we go to San Jose again

Many units are apartment style with two bedrooms and 1 or 2 bathrooms so excellent for families or two couples. The morning breakfast in courtyard was very good with a good range of foods. The beds were very comfortable. The site grounds and rooms were always very clean and with front desk service 24 hours. We used as vacation base for 12 days to take day bus trips to other areas of Costa Rica and in-between toured local DT museums and area parks at a leisurely pace-one a day and on a few days just relaxed or caught up on laundry on site Good vacation value whether visiting just for a few days or longer like us. The units have a kitchen but not well equipped but room service will bring anything you might need extra. We used primarily fridge and only ate small snacks or the odd simple meal..

Perfect Home Base - Great Hosputaluty
Great Find. Outstanding welcoming and helpful staff. Beautiful property, spacious apartment like suites. Excellent varied breakfasts. Free indoor garage included. (Big deal in SJ) Wonderful location 2blocks from La Sábana the central city green space. Close to urban core, museums culture, supermarket, convenience store and highways. Wonderful base to explore Central Valley, volcanos archeological sites, coffee plantations. In city traffic and driving is crazy. For the most part drivers cope and are tolerant.

Breakfast was pretty good. Bed comfortable. Even though I paid in full prior to arrival, clerk stated he wasn’t sure if they would have a room for me. No offer was made to find me a room elsewhere nor to refund my payment. Very stressful. Do not recommend.

It was such an enjoyable experience. We loved the quaintness of the hotel and that it was not a big chain. Breakfast was great. Staff was very friendly. If you are up for walking you can walk from the hotel all the way downtown, which we did without issues.

The property is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. they do not have an elevator so you have to carry your luggage, which was fine with me, but some people may not like that. The breakfast was fantastic, with fresh fruits and Omelets made to order. Overall it a good hotel, you will need transportation like a car or a taxi though.

nice responsive staff. Great value for the money. Hotel areas don’t “flow”, weird construction. But clean, good Italian rest, nice walking area and dinning options. Went for a concert, great location to access stadium. Comfortable beds and equipped kitchen. ok parking, but its free. Would stay again.

Always A Pleasure To Stay Here
This is our usual stop when we stay in San Jose. It’s location is ideal (next to the park), it’s super clean, comfortable, staff is delightful and they speak both English and Spanish, breakfast is wonderful, it’s affordable and it’s peaceful. If we have guests visit, we recommend this hotel!

I could not have picked a better hotel for our stay in Costa Rica. The suite, breakfast, staff and area was excellent. Close to quite a few dining options which are both drivable and walkable. There's also a park nearby and the pool at the hotel was great. A few suggestions, wish you had the option to bring your breakfast to your suite if you did not feel like sitting in the pool area with the other guests. Option to hang your close in your suite to dry as the dryers do not tend to completely dry your clothes. Other than that, this is my go to hotel when visiting! I highly recommend it!

Great stay for budget price
Good location for a one night stay, not far from the SJO Airport. Eventhough it was on a industrial area, it was safe. We found eatery near by with local food what we loved and appreciated. For the nightly price of the Hotel it worth well every penny.
Comfy bedroom
Sitting area with kitchen also
