This is a unique and beautiful boutique hotel in the Paseo Colon neighborhood of San Jose. We stayed in the charming garden suite, and appreciated the amenities, including coffee, tea and a free minibar. All of the staff were welcoming, helpful, and very professional. The restaurant was excellent, in both food and service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend it.

The property is beautiful. The staff in the reception were very kind on arrival. They helped us to arrange transport from the airport in advance, which was reliable and professional. The driver was on time and was so helpful. However, in preparation for our trip we tried to contact the hotel multiple times to explore possibilities to help us to arrange an excursion to the volcanoes. All of our emails were ignored. We also tried to ask for help and recommendations while there (for local knowledge) and the staff would just tell us to google options. Not very helpful. The bar at the hotel is really beautiful. However, the staff at the bar at night are EXTREMELY rude. They act as if you are making them waste their time even though the price of the drinks is not cheap. Funnily enough the waiters working the breakfast shift were incredible. Make your plans for excursions independently, do not count on the hotel. And either ignore the rude and snobbish waiters or get yourself to one of the many great bars around (Azotea 7 , Apocadero, etc) for better service. But the property is nice and the breakfast was incredible.

We had a 2 night trip in San Jose after “roughing it” for 2 weeks all over Costa Rica. We splurged on this place so we could get some good rest and we did! Also really liked the hot tub. We did not eat in the restaurant (very pricy) but found a wonderful cafe around the corner for breakfast. Would go back.
