This is a cosy and quiet B&B tucked away in San Jose. The owner is incredibly friendly and helpful, whilst all the staff are cheerful, polite and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again as very good value for money.

Lovely place to stay

I love this hotel, peacefull, quite and very Hemingwayesque if you like, you can almost feel his presence, I wouldn't stay anywhere else.

Oasis in San Jose

We really enjoyed our stay here.  Dennis and Romi were fantastic.  We got great recommendations for dining and tours from Romi and Dennis.  The breakfast was great each day.  It included juice, coffee, gallo pinto, eggs, toast, and fruit. While I was here I overheard the statement that this hotel isn't for everybody.  I agree with this.  If you are expecting luxury accommodations at this price you will be disappointed.  However, what it lacks in luxury, it really makes up for in hospitality.  Staying here is an experience.  One of the best parts is that the guests were all so interesting and friendly.  There were many opportunities to chat with guests in the courtyard over breakfast or coffee at any other time during the day.  Socially, this was the best experience of our visit.  Obviously, this can vary based on the guests at any given time, but I do think this place attracts people who are a bit more social and adventurous and not so stuffy. We were really lucky to be invited a birthday dinner at the hotel during our stay.  The food was the best we had during our stay in San Jose, and it was so nice of the family to include us. The downside is that the location makes it a bit noisy at times.  If this is a concern I would recommend not staying in the rooms facing the busy road.  Room 1 has a great shower though, so this makes up for it.

A great experience...

I stayed 3 nights in this characterful arty gem of a family run hotel - a beautiful cooked to order breakfast and relaxing garden, older but clean and interestingly decorated rooms and helpful friendly staff. Super central with lots of eating and shopping nearby and very safe/secure (although taxis are best at night). A comfortable and clean room for the price.

A quirky budget gem in the city center!

Excellent staff. Incredibely helful and spoke good English.

helpful staff

Nice place. Rooms were large, had wardrobe for storage, a safe, large bathroom, tv. No AC though but didn't need it as it was cool. Breakfast had 3 options: pancakes, eggs and toast, or eggs and rice. Reception was friendly. Location is about 5-10 min walk from central ave. Was a little loud in the morning through the windows with regular noise (cars, dogs, birds, people) as we had to have the window open for air, but that's expected noise from the streets. Overall nice.

I booked 6 nights when travel to costa rica. I m so glad I made a right choice. The hotel location is perfect. In center of the town. The staff are very friendly. Helpful. Every day helped me to contact my tour company to confirm. I have recommended this place to my friends. And I will be back hopefully soon! Love it!

I am so glad i did

Super cute little place! The taxi driver did warn us not to go out alone late at night but there were no problems we could see during our stay.

Definitely not 4 star, but a great character and nice setting even though it's right downtown.  Awesome breakfast and very friendly staff.  Will definitely stay there again.  Comfortable beds, hot showers.  Cooked to order eggs/fruit/pancakes for breakfast.  Coffee 24/7.

Great spot in Downtown SJ

What a nice surprise happening upon this place. Friendly, accommodating staff. A nice little bar, a very good breakfast, laundry service. I don't know if they serve any other meals. I was out seeing San Jose. But, when I was there I felt more at home than in a hotel. It's an old building with a colorful history. If you don't like an occasional creaky floor of the minor quirks of an older building, think twice. But, you'll miss a nice experience.
