"Was only there for about 14 hours but the hotel is charming and the staff and extremely friendly and helpful. I don’t recommend the area though. While it’s walkable, it’s also sketchy and we were told by a local that we would likely get robbed walking around."

10/10 Excellent
"The room was clean, the receptionists were helpful, courteous, patient and co operative. I did not use the air conditioning, only the fan because the room was cool. It had two windows to allow fresh air to flow through, one by the bathroom and the other above the front door. I would recommend this hotel to anyone because it is budget friendly, located in downtown San José , serve free breakfast of different varieties and they even cater for vegans."
