I really liked how clean and well maintained the property is. The rooftop terrace is excellent value, a perfect spot to relax and take in the beautiful views of the neighborhood. The service was also outstanding; the staff were extremely helpful and welcoming. I arrived just in time for the meet-and-drink event, which was a brilliant opportunity to socialise with other travellers. I even met a few people heading to the same destinations as me, which worked out perfectly for sharing rides.

It’s in a good location for my need to arrive and leave San Jose by bus to Guanacaste. The district is also in walking distance to the city center. The Staff was friendly and efficient, especially in the morning since I needed a fast breakfast to catch the bus.

Good budget hotel. The room was big, the shower was hot. Breakfast was included and there was a choice. The hotel is next to the bus stations so good location if you have an early/late bus. Lots of places to eat around.
