    The hotel's location was very central, close to the national theatre. Lucky that it was at a walking distance from Pollo Campero, offering food to go. They gave us extremely spacious and practical double room with comfortable bed.

    Hotel was perfect little and quirky, I greatly enjoyed the stay.

    The hotel was a nice base for enjoying a shopping area, near to La Fortuna and the much bigger colonial centre. The property was located in the center of the city. There was an attached restaurant nearby. The amazing service and the attention to detail! It was nice to have a bar in the reception:)))

    The cute balcony offered a lovely urban view, and the breakfast was refreshing with a variety of options that energized our mornings. The street noise occasionally interrupted our sleep.

    boutique hotel
    refreshing pool
    beautiful garden
    lack of air conditioning

    We had a lovely time at this cute boutique hotel! The pool was refreshing and the garden was such a nice spot to relax. The only downside was the lack of air conditioning, but the fan did the trick for us 🌴

    seating options
    common areas

    The neo-colonial charm of the hotel dazzled me! The lush garden and serene pool area reminded me of a peaceful retreat. Plus, it was easy to navigate for my senior feet!

    More seating options in common areas would be nice.

    delicious breakfast
    friendly staff
    clean environment
    microwaved lunch
    unhelpful reception

    Oh man, the grilled Teppanyaki fish was a flavor explosion! Breakfast was totally on point too! The staff was super friendly, and the hotel was clean-a cozy escape for my solo adventure.

    The lunch at the in-house restaurant was like it was slapped in the microwave, and the lady at reception was kind of a bummer. Thank goodness for Tin Jo across the road-the food there was superb!
