Pros: Ok so the staff is so nice but room 414 had little to no water pressure and trickle of hot water...... I asked the front to change rooms but because they were full no possible.... So sucked it up and took Luke warm shower for two days.... Manager said he would comp a dinner at hotel eatery .... Didn't happen and no one seemed to know how it would work. Bed was comfortable location is great for San Jose .
My best advice to anyone staying in Costa Rica is get out of San Jose and see the countryside unless u want to be in New York meets Tijuana

Pros: the breakfast was okay. location is okay if you're staying a night and have to go to the airport the next day.
Cons: The front desk staff lacks professionalism. On one occasion, I was hoping to use the phone to book a tour. The front desk attendant said that he knew a better company and dialed a number and my friend didn't really ask for specifics and booked the tour. As a side note, that company that starts with the letter "M" was the worst experience I had in Costa Rica in terms of safety while driving. Not only did the front desk attendant have the audacity to refer us to this "M" company, when I called to ask what the company's name was he told me to act like we asked for the number and not tell anyone that he had referred us to them. This is not even the tip of the iceberg.
On one occasion, my friend and I were getting a couple of drinks and since most people go out at night, we were called "squares" in Spanish for staying in and drinking at the hotel instead of outside.
We found two cockroaches in the hotel which is normal since the front door is always open, but upon finding a third cockroach a day later, I managed to keep it under a glass and left it for the cleaning staff to discard because I forgot to do it. When we returned later that same night and the room was cleaned, we were not given a new glass. The cleaning staff rinsed the glass and left it on top of the desk. I mean, who does that? As a side note, the cockroach was about two inches big and touched the surface of the cup.

Cons: Ants in the room- although it's a thing in Costa Rica, and they took care of it as soon I as I reported it; the pool is very small and only 2 lounge chairs available, which were old and sagging; when rooms were vacant doors were left open... which I only mention because if I had my kids with me I would feel like that could be dangerous...
7,1 Good
Pros: Friendly front staff but not at breakfast. Was obviously quite a grand hotel in the past looking at the wooden fittings.
Cons: The area whilst central is a bit run down with pavements which are lethal due to brocken sets and missing inspection covers. The small double bed was pushed against one wall. The en-suite was separated from the room by a not full height to get light and air from the outside window. Breakfast was poor. The hotel has lots of old features but is a bit down at heal. The swimming pool was cloudy so the dolphin mosaic was obscured so we didn’t use. Plastic flowers in room

Pros: Great location. close to the museums and shopping.

Pros: Honestly, nothing. Little upset about the breakfast thing, but we knew the schedule and he never woke up, although I reminded him and told him that I purchased some extra fruits.
Cons: So far, best Hostel I've stayed in San Jose. Staff is really nice, they stick to the schedule (strange for ticos) and they are very helpful. The part of the Hostel I knew, very clean, and the best part is, that if you want to sleep after a long party night, it is calm and quite to do so. Breakfast great!! The only personal issue for me was that I had to pay extra for some fruit, so I could have what I consider my complete breakfast, that at the end, I shouldn't have to, because my roommate woke 5min after schedule and missed his breakfast, so , I could have had his for free (Cristal ball not working properly that day lol). For sure and until further notice, from now on everytime that I go to San Jose to run some errands or to have a fun day far from home, I will stay there. That way I will know if I have access to the kitchen, to cook my meals like lunch and dinner if I'm in the premises.

The facilities are clean, the staff is nice and the rooms have been renovated within the last year as well.

Cons: We asked to reserve a baby crib on booking and were told no need to reserve, they would have one for us. When we arrived we were told no cribs were available. They ended up having to borrow one from another hotel however that could have been a disaster. Restaurant was overpriced and not very good value. Food was so so.

Cons: The hotel was not very well located for anything. The exterior facade and a lot of interior was just plain concrete which, at the time, may have looked modern but now very tired. Did not like the tea/coffee making facilities
5,4 Okay
Pros: Friendly staff
Cons: Grab your earplugs with you or otherwise you’ll have a fun night thinking the cars are driving through your room. It was a disaster, I was hoping to recover from the long flight.. however the room was not isolated at all. The windows were made out of single glass, so if you know that the hotel is build next to a busy and noisy highway.. you’ll directly understand what I mean.

Pros: The staff was awesome! Very friendly and guest orientated. We liked the free, safe parking in the hotel garage.
Cons: The food (dinner and breakfast) wasn’t that enjoyable. The gym was very small and the entire hotel looked nicer on photos. The stay was alright. We liked to go out for dinner and find a nice restaurant, but people on the street warned us to walk around in the neighborhood that time of the day (8:00 pm), so we went back to the hotel restaurant.

5,8 Okay
Pros:
Cons: Watch out for the fact that the hotel Standard room has no window to the outside. They wanted me to pay $80 more per night (which would more than double my rate) to upgrade to get one. They did move me to a new room when I asked them kindly to find another one at the same rate. This room was also subpar. Low ceiling, old furniture, shower that didn’t drain, and walls so thin that I could hear the kid screaming next door as if she were in my room. So terrible.
7,5 Good
Pros: Nice comfortable room, good location for museums and downtown sites
Cons: Terrible breakfast and not many restaurants around the hotel
5,4 Okay
Pros: Breakfast in the adjacent restaurant was nice.
Cons: Room size, saw on our checkin that a free upgrade was given but the room was still tiny and very poor. The shower was horrific, no pressures and went hot and cold constantly.
6,2 Good
Pros: The staff
Cons: When we got to the room we didn't have power for the lights or the ac so I called downstairs (the phone worked) and they informed me you have to insert your keycard in a slot by the door to get power. Weird but ok, I'll play along. After a couple hours of trying to get the ac to work and trying to sleep without it, I ended up calling the desk and having them take a look. They couldn't figure it out and moved us to a room right next door, which was an upgrade. The staff was great and helpful with the situation but the new ac didn't work much better. All in all, not a bad hotel. Great location, there was free breakfast we didn't get to enjoy, they opened my bottle of wine, and took great care of my complaint. However, there was a lot of construction which was a little weird to deal with and the ac is a huge thing for me. From the north and my house is constantly freezing.

I could not and there was a charge when she made it for me(to call a taxi). She told me I could have my laundry done on Sunday. I could not.

Pros: The breakfast was good but very small portions! The room I was in was very clean but the soap dispenser at the sink did not work the tv remote control was in bad condition and you could not turn on the tv with the remote plus the power button on the tv was broken and you had to play with it in order to turn it on or off.
Cons: I did like the customer service at check-in and the staff was very pleasant and friendly! The service at the bar and restaurant was very good and the staff was very polite an personable! The food quality was very good and tasty but should give bigger portions of food.

Pros: The staff were generally helpful, and the hotel itself is very safe (which is important, since it is in an unsafe neighborhood).
Cons: Upon checkout, they charged us for 2 mini-bar items that we *definitely* did not consume (trust me, we paid very close attention to what we used). Since it only came out to a few more extra dollars, I can't imagine the hotel management has a policy of intentionally doing this, so perhaps the maids swiped the items or something. What *does* seem intentional, however, is how they squeezed a few more colones out of us by basically "double taxing" us. by rounding up the cost of each item, applying the 13% VAT - even though the items were explicitly priced so that the VAT could be easily applied without rounding. For example, the beers were priced at ₡1,061.95 each; this rather specific number is designed so that after the 13% tax is applied, it comes out to an even ₡1,200. What the hotel staff did instead was to round up the cost to ₡1,100, then apply the tax to bring it to ₡1,243. Again, the actual amount is somewhat trivial: the incorrect rounding added a total of about $2 USD to our bill, and combined with the two drinks we were incorrectly charged for, we were overcharged by only around $6 or $7 USD - hardly the scam of the year or anything (especially given that, for a minibar, the prices were very reasonable). But it was still pretty irritating, as they obviously rely on the fact that visitors hardly want to go through the effort of arguing over such a small amount when they are checking out and want to be on their way. In addition, it makes me wonder where else they may be pulling this stunt - for example, for all I know they may have added a drink to my bar tab, etc.

Pros: Wonderful place for an amazing price. It was quiet, clean and the staff was excellent. Very truth worthy people. For example, borrowing a towel was $5 (refundable after use) but I only had a $20... I just gave them a $20 and they gave me the $20 back afterwards. Bed was clean and while not super comfortable, for $5 it was beyond perfect. 10/10 would recommend as a wonderful hostel to stay at.
