A. Ice hotel and a beautiful traditional house. Beautiful courtyard as a restaurant. The food was great, the room was quiet and clean. Bathroom was nice and clean. Breakfast is a la carte, so don’t expect to be quick in the morning. Friendly staff, small gym and jacuzzi.

Well appointed hotel with large, comfortable rooms and quality linens. The staff without exception was outstanding. Excellent a la carte breakfast choices and a varied menu for lunch and dinner. Cocktails had a generous pour and the desserts were delightful. We enjoyed the hot tub. My massage was wonderful

Beautiful remodeled mansion in San Jose, very comfortable rooms, lovely roof top terrace with hot tubs, and very good dining room. It is walking distance to a Central Park, and a bit longer walk to central San Jose where you get the flavour of everyday life in the capital and for Costa Ricans. It is not a touristy town, but very down to earth and interesting. Worth a visit if you want to get a feel of real life.

Cet hôtel a tout pour bien faire mais… cela ne suffit pas il faut faire. Le lieu est magnifique et la situation très agréable. Le personnel est compétent et gentil mais ça ne suffit pas. Cet hôtel manque d’une âme et d’un maître ou une maîtresse de maison qui le rende chaleureux. Ce n’est pour l’instant qu’une halte qui se veut un peu haut de gamme sur la route d’un circuit au Costa Rica sans plus. Par ailleurs les installations commencent à devenir vieillottes et méritent un rafraîchissement mis à part la literie. Niveau amenities c’est stricte minimum et on vous demande d’utiliser les verres du mini bar comme verres à dents… Enfin et c’est là le plus gros problème certaines chambres (notamment avec patio) sont invivables à cause de bruit des machines ou compresseurs qui alternent toute la nuit. Quand on a en plus un décalage horaire à encaisser c’est l’horreur. Je pense que si vous devez faire une halte à San José hormis l’aspect historique de l’hôtel vaut mieux chercher autre chose et c’est bien dommage.

Exceptional hotel in San Jose We had a wonderful two night stay in this lovely hotel. Our room opened up to a tropical area and was very private. Service was exceptional and the restaurant served amazing food in an upscale setting. I would highly recommend this hotel!

We spent our last night in Costa at this lovely hotel! Checking ln was very easy and welcoming. Our room was so sweet, with its own patio garden that even had a fountain. We had just come from whitewater rafting after 4 nights, and 5 days in the Rainforest, during the dry season. Yet, we were deluged by rain our last three nights there, so none of our clothes had dried! Once in this darling room, I draped our wet clothes all over thest patio, to dry. Success. We loved our room, it was very practical, pretty and comfortable. We met friends for dinner in their beautiful dining room. Delicious food, great cocktails, nice wines by the glass, lovely service! Because we were headed to the airport at 5 the next morning, breakfast wasn’t yet served. But the c made nice croissant sandwiches to take, then went into bar brought us lattes to take with us! What service, all around!
